Hi guys,
I've been about for a few months now and commented on stuff here and there but want to make my own progress thread so I can document the stuff I will be doing to my car. I've not got a great deal of money at the moment so can't afford anything major but will be making some mods to my car and posting them here in the hope that it helps some other people along the way.
Here is my 1.6t (180)

The main mod i've done already is to fit a custom open cone air filter, using a k and n and custom maf housing etc.. the thread for that is here:

and a pic of how it's set up:

The air filter is working fine, and now i've begun to get a little taste for a few other little bits i'd like to do. I had a nosy at the lighting thread last week and ordered myself some LED DRL's for the front, and they look awesome but the only downside is the main headlights look blatently yellow compared to the drl's so I will be changing them in the very near future. Here is a shoddy pic of them I took last night:

Sorry about the quality of the picture, but the white/blue DRL's are clearly showing up the yellowish standard lights, the next mod on the horizon is the HID lights or maybe even just the white coloured phillips bulbs i've seen people talking about, although a little concerned about how 'illegal' they are..
And while i've been pottering about looking for stuff i'd like to do, I may have a go at wrapping the chrome door trims that look like they don't belong. I like the gloss black between the windows so will be going for that colour, wrapping doesn't look too difficult by the looks of it. I had a little read of this that seems to clear it up a little:

Other things I would like to sort out are the chrome next to the griffin at the front in the same gloss black, and that nasty grill at the front needs changing (not sure what to yet though haha).
Eventually when I save some pennies I will be going for that icebox android unit, eibach lowering springs, a loud exhaust (after looking I think it will have to be a sports cat back) I don't want it too quiet, a remap, and the RDS splitter front and rear, and nice black 19-20 inch alloys.
