    Thanks mate, yeah I've been toying with the idea of putting mesh over the cooler, next time I have the bumper off I might see how it looks.

    Nah, had a visible FMIC and wasn't from SA! I've seen that GTI R32 replica as well.

    Either way, looks very nice. Those Mk4 GTI's were so boring looking from factory!

    Looking good, I remember test driving this ages ago at the dyno meet.

    What sort of power does it put down now?

    ECS stage 1 clutch and 21lb SMF

    How do you find the clutch on take off?
    Does it shudder or is it smooth?

    Car looks good mate, personally I would've powder coated the intercooler black (but I'm old lol).
