Finally got the last piece in my interior conversion from cloth to leather. Full black headliner and trims. This makes all the difference for me and is the finishing touch.

Ordered some red plastidip for a bit of fun, and went a bit crazy lol

After the last two years appalling winters I wanted to be prepared this year, ordered myself some winter tyres and wheels! With the chosen wheels being 5x114 I had to use wobble bolts to fit them.
Another problem arose when I discovered (after talking to another member on here with the same wheels) that Japanese cars use M12 bolts and VW use M14. This meant I had to bore the holes out slightly using the correct drill bit.
Very nerve racking drilling into your new wheels! The bonus is these wheels are 3kg lighter each than the Zolders! This is a lot of weight where rotational mass is concerned.

Also got a unibrace copy (copybrace). This was for a punt to see If it made any difference. Still to be fitted.

Was starting to get bored of the Milltek sound and wanted a change! With this in mind I went ahead and got a neuspeed catback. This was beautifully made and did put the milltek quality to shame in all honesty.
Went ahead and fitted this along with my new wheels.

With trying to strip weight off the front end of the R32 getting more and more important to me, a carbon fibre bonnet was needed. Got one that was painted black.
My plan was to strip this off the reveal that beautiful carbon fibre weave. The buyer assured me this was painted for strictly aesthetic reasons and that it was not damaged. After 7 hours on the road collect the bonnet I was eager to start stripping it. Only to discover damage as soon as I did!!!!

After two weeks of time consuming careful sanding, everything was revealed. Wasn't pleased to say the least. Looks great with water on it. I knew the bonnet would need to be relacquered before I started. So kind of my expected finish wise.
