Cheers bud, tbh i'm not sure if it will be in, may have to cut the rear door cards which I'm against so could be selling the current cage and on the lookout for a dimma show cage instead

Would be a shame to sell the cage! Could always source some spare r/door cards instead of butchering your own?
Although I guess if it's just the look your after then the show cage would mean less fab work in the long run.

I could but don't really want to spend money on items to replace the same as i've already got, will see what happens, if it comes to selling the cage I should get £300 for it which I can put towards something else for the car, already got a front end respray, wheel refurb and remap on the cards before FCS

Can completely understand that to be honest, well whatever you plan I'm sure it'll look good as it always does! Look forward to seeing your progress at FCS.

Well since the last car show the pug attended she has had yet more changes made
The honeycombe grille has been removed and a zunsport black alloy grille fitted, the pics were taken at FCS and show off the engine bay with it's new bling bling
Some people might hate them but I quite like them, especially in purple
New front sticker, in purple of course
Caught the "i" on the Gti180 badge so had to remove it all together, looks alright tbh
Few random pics of the pug on the drive to FCS and at the show itself
Since coming back from FCS i've decided to go black led's on the rear and to start saving for a respray, coilovers and a new set of wheels all for FCS 2015 |
What rear lights are those and do you have a link where you purchased them?

Yesterday saw myself and a few others put their cars on the rollers, in all there 3 Gti 180's including mine a few clio sport 172/182's, my brothers Focus ST 225 and a Ford Mustang V8 engined MG ZTT with supercharger
Was well happy with the results and proves it is possible to hit high figures but am tempted to try another roller to see if it is correct
