so i thought i would make a thread containing all the changes i have done to my car since owning. now some might call it a build thread. but i wont be calling it that.
im not really into doing mechanical mods like engine suspension etc. i just usually change things that i think would make the car look better.
saying that i do plan on getting it revo remapped soon
so anyway. here is how my car looked when i picked it up new almost 3 years ago. admittedly it hasn't changed much but ah well.
withen the first 2-3 weeks of ownership i changed the footwell bulbs to red leds as i think it suited the rest of the red cabin lights a night. looks much better.
Next was door sills. these was bought from the Gb on here. look very oem and fantastic quality
after doing that i then changed all the interior bulbs to white leds leaving the footwells to red leds.. and replaced the reg bulbs with white leds
next came the aluminum pedals. desperately wanted these some bought some from ebay and fitted myself. completely transforms the look of the inside. excuse the mess.
i then got an obsession with detailing products and built up quite a collection of stuff.
safe to say i have about 1/5 of what i use to lol. used some sold alot 
bought these little badges for the seat height adjuster
next came some more interior changes. i wrapped my dash pieces in carbon fibre. really liked this for quite a while until recently when i reverted back to stock silver.
Next came Vagcom. really wanted the needle sweep function and alarm beep. a used genuine cable came up for sale on here so i bought it. done my research and i have enabled
needle sweep, alarm beep , cornering fogs , big MPH speedo, drl off so that the headlight switch works like a normal switch should.
LED sidelights was next. after trying loads of different sets of bulbs a whole new unit was availible to buy on a group buy. i bought a set and they was fantastic. look really good. but 1 unit failed after 6 months so was back to stock units
Gloss Black mirror caps came next. another mod i really wanted but was expensive if you but new parts and get them sprayed. bought a 2nd hand set from ebay and got shaun1982 from here to spray them gloss black for me.
fell in love with them after i fitted them. transforms the outside look imo.
most recent mod was last week. another thing i have allways wanted is gloss black trim. i got bored with carbon fribre so removed the wrap and left them silver. for a week. then i attempted to spray them myself. didnt turn out like i planned. some of the pieces fell over whilst they was drying and got crap all over it and dried . they looked shit. took the trim to a bodyshop and the done the best they could with them. the centre console piece is perfect like brand new piece. but the long trim across the glovebox has got some orange peel. anyway it still looks fantastic and is 100x better than silver. i will get the glovebox piece redone at some point so it looks perfect to.
And today i bought fitted another set of the same led sidelight units. why? becuase i really like the look of them. and i had spare paypal cash.
next thing on my list is a stage 1 remap. like i said im not really into lowering etc so its only little things i have done. but this is so its all available to see in one place.
hope you haven't got bored reading this long assssss post!
