I have always loved the details you find on many of the sporty Porsche models. One of which is the colour matched seat-belts. I have been looking for a while for a company that could take the original belts and re-web them in blue to match the car. I had seen a few companies offering this service but one stood out as having great reviews and a great service also. This company was Kolour Koncept. I started by sourcing a replacement set of belts so I could send them off without my car being left out of action.  Just look at what they sent back!Read More →

Previously the front Discs and pads had been updated to Mtec C Hook Discs and EBC Blue stuff pads. These had done the job very well on a track day at Spa-Francorchamps along with a fluid change with Gulf RF1000 racing fluid.  Now it was time to clean up the calipers and to replace the rear discs/pads to match (as the originals were well worn).  I bought some high temperature paint from eBay in the correct RAL 5002 Ultramarine blue, and made my own foam brush using a kitchen sponge and some handy sticks I had left over.  The R32 calipers helpfully split down theRead More →

Have you ever found yourself with a locked car, with a flat battery and no external locks? Well I found myself in this exact situation with my R32.  Firstly, how do you access your locked car? In my case, I knew that once the car had power, I would be able to pop open the locks and get under the bonnet to jump start it. What you need to do in this situation, is to get access to one of the major battery positive connections, such as the Starter motor or the Alternator.  For me, easiest point was the Alternator. Jacking up the car andRead More →

So my car came with some BBS VZ033 wheels, very similar to the Edition 30 wheels but are slightly wider and don’t have the lettering on the face. However they didn’t come with the original centre caps. Thankfully I found a set on eBay brand new for about £60 delivered. Unfortunately after about 3 months the metal caps started to lift. I sent them back to the supplier who kindly replaced them for a new set. No such luck. After 3 months, the same thing happened again. I didn’t think that the supplier would replace them again, so I looked for a solution. It seemsRead More →

So it has been a while since I have updated this blog, but since the last post I’ve been busy working on the new car! So, here it is. It’s a 06 plate MK5 Golf R32 DSG. So I’ve kept it in the VR6 family, just with more comfort and a really nice daily driver. I’ve already done a couple of mods to it in the 2 years I’ve now had it, and I will go through a couple of them on this blog over the next couple of weeks.Read More →

What happened to the Forum I hear you ask? Well as you may have noticed, a lot of Forums have become very quiet over the last year or two in favour of Facebook and the like, so much so, that the traffic to the old Forum pretty much stopped! In light of this we have created this new Blog to keep all of our news items and events for those who don’t have Facebook. (yes there are some out there!) What’s new? This year we are hoping to get along to more shows as a club and host a couple of events ourselves (Other thanRead More →
