Not much of an update I'm affraid, slow but steady as funds allow!
Gave her a damn good clean today, still haven't polished this car nor waxed it since buying it! Ought to really before the winter sets in. She looks good though, agree?

Next up today I fitted my new boost gauge, as I thought the other one didn't really fit in with the OEM look I'm going for -

So pulled that out and it soon became clear that whoever installed it didn't own a soldering iron or have access to any kind of crimping tool!

Nope, so ripped that all out and re-routed the boost pipe too.

Looks much more OEM I think.
Not really sure what to do next?
I'm thinking blue brake calipers, but then I'm also thinking about upgrading to GTi6 front brakes too.
Masks?
Hmmm
