Mod questions/ideas

Would you recommend the diverter? Not sure if its worth the hassle, also did the taillights yesterday and it turned out great, will add pics soon
Also just got the stub sharam oem aerial fitted, would recommend

An aftermarket recirculating Diverter Valve (DV) typically holds boost better than a stock DV. If you are running standard tune, then it's not really worth it, unless your stock DV is failing and you need to replace it. If you're after some extra sound perhaps consider an aftermarket air filter, a pod with a heat shield / enclosure usually works quite well. There are many manufacturers out there such as CTS, APR Carbonio, Neuspeed, Integarated Engineerinng, VW Racing to name a few....

The GFB diverter ( a genuine one anyway ) is a very nice bit of kit, but an under the car affair to fit. If you tune it, with any decent tune, it is a must.

Not really a fan of the other 3 mod's you have listed though... Each to his/hers own i suppose! I tried smoking my tails a couple of years ago with film & it looked like i had mauve tail lights so i peeled it off the next morning...

Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to get new springs installed?

Average price is between $300-$400 based in Melbourne

Ok thanks for the heads up, might shop around, since i'm in ACT but sounds pretty fair

Nice job, Elby! Any chance of a bit of a close-up/non sideways photo? :D Might look into that nightshades product, is it removable?

ps, my springs install was also around 400 a few years ago. Don't forget to factor in an alignment.
