Didn't have any matte black paint left oh well, barely can be seen within the heatshield anyway, did a quick aluminium sheet metal jobbie on the factory heatshield.

May need to trim the heatshield near the flanges to get better clearance in those areas.

Installed my "washer bottle" today :rolleyes:

Lookin realy schmick mate. I like how you retain the stock look.

Quick note though ,if funds permit get yourself some Split fire Di ignition coils they will don wonders on your car (do it before tuning).

I was considering replacing the coil packs at some stage but just couldn't justify the price tag. Especially when i found out tonight that my friend bought 2nd hand Audi R8 coil packs for his Golf R with a certified 2,000km for $75 :rant:

I've seen genuine coil packs on eBay go for $355 for the set, but unsure as to whether or not they are really genuine.

Link for anybody that might be able to tell or have come across them?

It was either that or lash out some drug money for the Okada Projects, but haven't heard enough reviews to justify it yet either

Don't need okada's mate. A set of new OEM or split fires will be fine. If you still have issues, there is a mod that you can do that deleted the standard ignitor box. Misfire issues gone. PM me

For info if it comes to that.

Stuff like detailing kills me, I wish the car would just forever stay clean haha

Yeah, pretty happy to stick with new OEM! The 16 year old coil packs seem to working fine with no missing at all, but replacing them prior to tuning would be a good idea to avoid a potential 2nd trip to the tuner!

Close up pics of the steering wheel? :D

I'll grab some tomorrow, is there concern for it's authenticity? Because to be honest, I don't even know if it is, but I purchased it off a top rated seller on ebay and was hoping for the best. Paid genuine price for it, so hope it's genuine product.
