Hi All,

Just a quick build update, here is the next project in my long build up to 170bhp.

My intercooler is dying so I figured that if I need to spend 90 quid to replace it I may aswell spend £140 to upgrade it at the same time.

Its pretty tight, hopefully I can make it fit.

HI All,

As I needed to replace 3 tyres for like £210 I decided it was the perfect opportunity to look at getting some 17" wheels.

I found these with good tread depth for £190

I also haven't seen anyone else with the MK7 have these alloys, they need to be refurbished and I also need to decide if I want to use the centre caps or just get a small centre cap so that the nuts are showing?

My Instagram is also y11mew, I tend to post updates on there before I post them here.

Let me know what you think!

Step one of the cruise control is also done... what a bugger that was!
