Went to garage to do my t bar glass and thought is sort my blowing exhaust. Opted for a genuine Mr t gasket not an e bay special that's only been on a few weeks. And this is what came off.

Haha, that came out wrong :lol: It's just normal to read that people plan to swap the spoiler eventually too.

Nah I like it. Lol yeah I know people prefer rev 3-5 spoiler s but it's a rev1 so it's staying that way.

Any suggestions on what I can do next?

I respect that. It remains true to the car, which can only be a good thing :thumleft:

Next steps wise - The wheels are great, the lights look good, the black MK3 emblem will look great. Perhaps a bit of engine detailing, like powdercoating parts etc. If you're in to that kind of thing of course and it does start you on a slippery slope to being obsessive at cleanliness :mrgreen:

You're welcome :mrgreen:

Maybe stick a wanted ad up, you might get lucky.

The other bits (heater) take a hell of a lot of time if you want them with the full 100 LEDs in. Shave your head too, it's easier than pulling it out along the way :lol:
