Clutch a hard job?
I've had my prop off before in my s3 with the subframe back on, and that was pretty easy, when you find the right gaps to work through.
Just I think it'll be coming soon as it's not liking life at the moments power levels.
Didn't change the clutch mate but getting to it is straightforward enough, just a pain in the arse as there is a lot to remove. Especially a couple of really awkward bolts to remove the transfer box.

I had my Merlin Purple S3 so I think I can safely say I have owned two great colours 
Such a nice colour, miss this car tbh

its almost the most impossible colour to photograph; always ends up looking darker than it is.

Finally managed to free up my coilover today Been trying for about 18 months but decided to get it removed and in the vice.
Put the adjuster in the vice, got my crack bar and managed to twist the coilover body and it finally started to move  Removed them, cleaned up all the threads then fitted my new platform (original plan was to cut it off).
Doesn't look great but they are still 100%
New adjuster on
Refitted
Should be able to try and squeeze a few more mm out of it once my 19's are back on now

Don't plan in spending money on something you never see unless it's off the car

Bit of spray and a scrubbing brush costs nothing

Don't really get why people do inner arch cleaning; they just get filthy again straight away lol.
I understand it if you're going to then protect it with under seal or something.

Looks good, thats why
Seriously though, road salt etc corrodes the finish on the springs (as you can see). Some don't care, others do. It's personal preference.
Loving the 19's and the car overall. Looks lovely.

Inner arch cleaning takes 5 minutes with some gunk and a jet wash and looks much better (if you can see it through the wheel which you can on the TT).
Looked so good when I went shopping before and the sun was on it as I was walking back to the car

Nice! I also own a 225 TT and it's the best thing I've ever owned! Are you in TTOC?
If you're after a V6 spoiler I've just had another batch of 10 made.
Enjoy your ownership!

Not a big fan of the V6 spoiler, like the smaller standard one
