Try Smith and Deakin, thats where I got mine from. Not as good quality as performance trim, but a lot cheaper and I was happy with mine as its only a track car.

awsome thanks mate ill give them a go.

i have the performance trim carbon splitter and the quality is poor in respect to the fitment.

Id be happy with a fibreglass bonnet too, but all the ones ive seen are only single skin. i need one with the oem mount points so i can use the stock hinges rather than mess around with bonnet pins....

looks sick man! will have to pop over and check it out again soon. those top mounts are awsome!

got some polybushes and put the front end back together



need to make new brake adapters cos the ones i bought are shocking quality

mocked up the boost pipe/air filter pipe im going to have to make

LOL dam it rob you beat me to it.

























My effort.

Looking good tom the car the car that is

Haha looks like and advert for head and shoulders

mr baker helped me put the front end back together

brakes, shifter, and sort out the lack of oil pressure ;-(

oh thats a bit poop. othr than that dude it looks saweet

Homemade brake adapters by mr baker.

they match the pad radius perfectly, the ones i bought were gash and hit the pad






Not quite sorted, need to do some f*****g around with them still

discs are on the wrong way boyo.

fixed the oil pressure problem, it turns out there was loads of s**t in the oil pickup pipe

also got a windage tray, it would be rude not to while im messing around down there

glad thats sorted. they are on back to front

Got a windage tray, it would be rude not to fit it



took the oil pump out to inspect it, and it looks almost new!



But there was loads of s**t in the pickup pipe, so cleaned it out with some petrol



put it back together




fucked around with the brake adapters further, and had to grind part of the hub down too as it was hitting the brake pad



but theyre all sorted now on both sides. Waiting on some new springs and washers then i can bleed them up.

test fitted the wheels



minimal clearance



while the bumper was off i deskinned it and cut the middle out to save some weight but also so i can drill it if i need to get more air to the intercooler.







Got some seals, rubbers, springs all the boring stuff from vw so i got them on and bled the brakes up



And got a new throttle body.



Realy dirty, so i took it apart



put the throttle back together and knife edged it, it still needs some work
before



after

Took a look underneath and noticed the fucked angle of the wishbones.





driving with these like this will make it handle like s**t, so i drew up a design for a spacer which ought to put them back so they're parallel with the floor.

Ideally they should follow the same arc as the drive-shaft and rack when under compression, but obviously that cant happen on a single wishbone McPherson strut setup so ill try to make it as good as possible



its only rough, but ill do some proper measuring tomorow and get these milled
