We are back from our 700+ mile trip to deepest darkest Cornwall!! The Pandavan didn't miss a beat all week and hitting 40mpg while trashing around country lines cant be to bad!! Had a bit of rain and having no rear wiper wasn't to much of a issue as you could still see behind which was abit of a nice surprise!!
Was defo VW world down there and got a few smiles and nods from a few of the VAG boys on the road, came back with a few ideas which will be working on over the next few weeks! :devil:

 

[cooperman]

Right if this isn't a rate or hate mod i don't know what is! Thought I would spice up the interior on the Pandavan so got some Hawaiian patterned fabric and made myself a one of gear gaiter!
I am more impressed with my sewing if anything!

Wheels = REALLY nice, I've not really seen any that I liked more than the standard, but these look ace.

Love that pic of your car a the top.

Koni sport rear shocks on order!! :devil:
Had really good feedback from the autoitalia guys with regards to the handling which was a surprise! He really liked the turn in and said the steering was the sharpest out of the 3 but the bouncing from the rear was letting her down badly so fingers crossed this with cure that once and for all!!

 

[Demi]

mine handled like a boat simply because of much added weight from all the mods and soundproofing.... soo it will catch up with like of Rolls Royce Phantom

Looking forward to the results of the new pipe kit! I think (hope) it will make more of a difference than the front pipe mod! :slayer:

I had to order a connection pipe for the breather as the pipe was the same size as the T-piece, it looks really good dont think it will make much difference to power but will look the part be interesting if it increases the induction noise again, dont think I will do a fitting guide as you have to do a lot of fitting and trimming but happy to post what you need to buy.
