Hey all!
Thought i would do me a project thread since i havent even done one yet!
For most of you who dont know me.. im martyn aka martynmofo!
Here is what i have done so far!
The gti back in 2009 when i had just bought the car!
The first mod i did was get rid of those hideous lexus lights and put some M3 style lights on the rear (Looking much better now)
about a month after I bought the gti disaster struck when some noob cut me up on a mini roundabout resulting abit of a disagreement with a 10mph sign.. the c**t didnt even stop aswell =/
At first the I thought the overall damage wasnt too bad untill my uncle told me its needed a new steering rack.. luckily i didnt go through my insurance as i thought doing some of the work myself would be a cheaper option.. so i bought the new wing.. bumper..grill..steering rack and angel eyes off ebay/the scrappies.
Luckily my mate knew a guy who could respray my panels and do abit of body work as the traffic sign had pushed back the left light back abit!
Charged me £500 luckily.
The car back to normal.. note the new honeycomb grill 
Plus I fitted the fogs later on in the year.. i think.. or maybe it was this year? 
So about 6 months went by after the car had been repaired from the damage that I decided it was time to get rid of those Dezent type T’s and get some vortex’s
Picked these babys up for a good price.. though they do need a good refurb, which i will be doing sometime next year.
Next came the next exhaust that i have no idea what make it is.. all i can say is i got it done by a place called camerons in york for around £400... and is from the cat only.. allthough i do have a sports cat! Sounds beastly too!
These are some readings from the rs tuning meet back in april this year.. if your wondering why these figures look abit strange.. this is because it was abit humid on the dyno even with the big ass fan going full belt.
Decided to add a famous stars and straps sticker.. not sure if im going to keep it or change it for another one.
After nearly a year without wiring the angel eyes up me and my mate decided to wire them up and here are the results.. potentialy illegal angel eyes?
Here is the car as she stands now!
So yeah i shall be continuing on with my mods in 2011.. and i have a fair amount of plans.
These are....
Refurbing the vortex’s
Tinted windows
Some odd painting here and there.. black pug badge.. brake calipers painted
More stickers
Kind of getting bored of the angels.. so might find me a pair of morettes 
New sports manifold
Getting the car remapped.. or been looking into camming
Lowered with a decent pair of coilovers
Maybe putting a strut brace on.
And a lot lot more... but yeah give us some inspiration and possible ideas.
Stay tuned for more on.... PROJECT MONSTERRR.
