Wow, hello everyone! lots of friendly responses.. different from alot of vw forums!
I live between Bedford & Milton Keynes
Ok so piccys... heres my current car(s) - embarrassing as i now have too many and will be advertising the golf and passat for sale shortly!
ok Golf GTI Anniversary 8v 1996, Superchipped, high lift cams, fuly adjustable coilys, bigger brakes, decat, full stainless cat back discreet oval system, hella aftermarket mk4 style lights, mk5 gti 17's air con etc... havent got any pics when i bought her 5 years ago but this is the current guise... shiney
My daily, 1998 b5 passat 110 tdi estate sport spec, bought to help carry the bits needed for the corrado project, done 30k in the last 12months in her!
bought like this...
then in a matter on months i decided it needed hit with the modding stick so i didnt look like an old man, coilovers, all 8 new front wishbones and steering rack to make her handle well, 8.5x18" new a8 wheels in black debadged, bsatin black roof, mirrors and wheels, smoothed front numberplate plinth and a full sport interior
Now the corrado vr6 is my baby (lol) I bought her 3 years ago like this
I then fitted coilovers, big TT brakes, 16" bbs splits, sprayed the rear lights red, fitted better stereo equipment and an alarm, cat back s/s magnex and bmc intake
I then decided the 16's were too small so bought some 17" bbs RC's and geramn plates... till i got a few too many fines!
I decided the corrado was then too slow after fitting big front and rear brake upgrades, coilovers and arb's new poly bushes all round. Som i found a crashed R32 and me and a fe mates broke it for parts... i took all the running rear, engine, wiring harnesses inside and out and the dash clocks and keys. The rest was sold to recoup a fair amoutn of the cash
dead R32
calm before the storm
stripped of engine, interior and all wiring and fuel system
Spot drilled and chisseled the rear floor out
bought half a mk2 golf rallye and carefully remove the rear floor and cross member, stripped and primed it
bought a mk3 vr6 syncro rear subframe and converted into take the new vw haldex diff and installed the floor into the rear of the corrado (no pics) this is as far as i am atm due to work comitments - i wanted to be finished by spetember but its never going to happen so i'm hoping to have it on the road for feb. specs are with remap, 290bhp 4wd, 8 point msa approved rollcage, recaro carbon fibre race seats and a fuel tank :-)
Then today I bought me a Z car
2006 Gun metal 56 plate, 28.5k, fnsh, non sat nav gt pack
bought it from a nissan dealer for a good price i thought considdering it has some manufacturers warranty left, got them to refurb the wheels, fit 2 new tires, fully mop/polish the paint to remove some superficial damage and knocked £500 quid off , pick her up when i get back from my hols next sunday
Once i get it my first things to do'll be
carbon mirrors and b pillars, these any good?

then carbon interior trim and sill plates, anyone one here fitted these, i'd like to see some installed pics before shelling out ideally!

the parts about look very much like the rsw kit that i think envy sell but you get the monster centre consol part as well for £150 less delivered, anyone had a play with it?

The next plan is to remove the seats and get a chap in the trim development workshop at work to trim the centre panels in matching grey alcantara to replace the perforated leather - too black in there!
Then i shall be looking into sat navs
