A little shoddy around the edges but got for a good price. Pretty nippy with good torque thanks to a power remap.
Build Thread:
Current Mods: - Removed rear seat, spare wheel, tool kit and rear wiper mechanism

- Wide Angle Convex Rear View Mirror
- Power remapped though incorrect for car [believed to be for 4-cylinder 1.9 Golf TDi so runs rough at idle but has good torque)
