Seems like a good idea to put everything I've done to the car in one place, especially as I've got pretty much everything detailed with photos.

Lets start right at the beginning with the pictures the car was advertised with on the Fontain Motors website:

And the picture I took of the car when I went down to view it and signed the paperwork:

I'll keep adding to this as I go along and put everything in order for all the mods etc etc :)

Pictures of the car when it was first brought home and cleaned. I'd asked them to change the alloys for me before I picked it up so I went from the basic 17" 6 spokes to 18" 9 spoke reps with Toyo T1S's :)

So exactly a year to the day from purchasing the car (not planned strangely enough, lol) I had booked into Awesome Gti for a APR stage 1 remap and Forge DV.

Well, I did say I've got a picture for pretty much everything I've done:

Then in the afternoon I drove a bit further north to visit Blueflame and had a cat back system fitted.

Then a day later (going by the picture file dates) I needed to update the front some more with a 3 bar grill. Done the hard way by going through the lower grill and looking like a muppet ;)

I made up a tool for removing the grills with microbore copper pipe with a hook on the end so you can pull the clips back to remove the grills
