Have just read your project thread with interest from the start. Surprised you haven't posted this on GTi6OC. Not sure on the stickers or the wheel/tyre setup but I respect that each is to his own.
You've put it together pretty quickly as a project, and have obviously put lots of hours in in the unrelenting rain. It's satisfying to see your hard work pay off, you must've been quite disappointed to get it together and have the engine let you down, i've been there myself. I spent a couple of weeks off work doing an engine swap and gearbox bearing swap by myself on my Rover Turbo in the middle of winter (short, cold days!), only to find that the £400 'upgraded' clutch i'd been recommended was in actual fact worse than an ebay special clutch at taking 18lbs of boost and let me down within 500 miles of completion despite following the strict bedding procedure. Went through all the hassle of clutch swap by myself again only for the exact same thing to happen. I gave up and scrapped it (and still miss it), bought my Rallye instead and a truck load of modifications.
Speaking of which I'm looking forward to getting back from SA and completing my Supercharger setup.
