hello all. been browsin for ages so thought id pop a pic or two up of my mk4!

i know straight away im going to upset a LOT of people on this forum, as unfortunetly the wheels on my car are definetly, defiently not approved on here from what ive gathered lol.anyway.

had it for my 17th last december, 53 plate with just 15k on the clock, have now met 25k 11months on.

so far ive added:

• lowered on G-max springs 40-45mm
• gti rear lights
• Rieger Skirts
• Rieger Rear Apron
• 18'' Ferreti Palmero American wheels (sorry but i do like them) on 225/45/18 falkens
• Clifford 650 'G5' alarm, with intellistart
• 12'' Vibe Evo 1600w active sub
• 'Virtual Daylight' HID kit made by Ultra
• 7'' Motorised DVD unit
• Pipercross Filter

thats about it i think. i welcome any suggestions! and understand that critiszm is going to be hurled my way because of the 'Chrome Rims' lol. my reason is, the option for me to buy them was because theres too many golfs around my area with OEM stuff...the whole point of modifying is to make it unique i guess! i do like the OEM kits and wheels, i just wanted to stand out a tad.

Oh dear

sorry its not to your taste.

 looks alright to me, very nice 17th bday present

 looks alright wheres your rub strip gone?

 thanks guys. and it was hanging loose, and finally fell off the car while driving. shall be replaced next week, when rear spoiler goes on too.

That was a little harsh LOL

looks ok but not fussy on the wheels, BUT it is your car and that is the main thing and as long as YOU like it that is all that counts

Andy

 Each to theyre own matey,take no notice,you drive it knowone else!

was a bit, but i can take it and understand thier not to everyones taste.

i am leaning towards some 19'' rs6's though. just the thort of even heavier wheels..just so dam slow lol. and i dont want to be an oem sheep of im honest..

glad im insured on my mums 3.0 A4 though

yes def go for a set of RS6's would look really nice and simple, would probably surprise yourself how it will look

i know you're 17 but thats no excuse... why would you fit those wheels and that bodykit., why not just fit some decent wheels and not fit an awful bodykit... to put it in plain terms.

lol at dan, no point beating about the bush there

 im not a fan of bodykits.. i like nice simple smooth lines.

looks a little chav!

think if u changed wheels would look ok tho!

but like u said U like them!

so screw wot everyone else thinks..lol

lol carry on man. if peoples critiszm bothered me i wouldnt have botherd putting the pics up.

but basically danw19, i dont want to be yet another ''18rs4s and anniversary kit' sheep, thats it. and ok the chromes are a little too in your face, but well i friend was selling them cheap so i just had them off him, no biggie.

and as for the kit, its a Rieger kit. just an alternative to an anni or R kit. looks the dogs on Kaz's old mk4 on here, and mr wigsters. and anyone else who has that kit for that matter. only thing missing on mine is an R32 roof spoiler.

cheers.

 Rs6 wheels look nice,just nice n simple,have a butchers on Rimstyle,com,theyve got loadsa nice rims on there and do canny prices for wheel/tyre packages mate.

could do with a front lower valance to finishit off

 standard valance gettin colour coded next week for 50 squid. rieger on was far too low.

 Wonder who has a front reiger bumper in his shed And it's in Black

I've had quite a few pm's about it,but they all want me to post it.I can't be arsed with that.

Dont get your valance colour coded,get Patches front bumper n some RS6 wheels n it will look sooo much better,might even get some sort of approval on here,not that you need it!

Jammy B:

Funny..... but harsh!

 Back to the original post

The car looks ok,the Reiger kit is a bit of a marmite mod,but it doesn't look that bad.Can i suggest that you buy some rear spacers to fill the rear arches up a little more,it'll make a huge improvement to it's stance.I'd be tempted to spray the mesh on the rear bumper black aswell

Other than that it looks good

thanks for comments guys! haha yes patch ive been folowing your cars progressionf or quite a while and learned you had a rieger front for sale. and your from Rochdale! My dads from Littleborough,haha.

yeah defiently leaning towards some 19inch rs6's. the wheels are nice in flesh, really.lol. they just attract the totally wrong people and attention for sure.

hmm spacers could be on the to-do list actualy Patch..and the mesh is black as they come but for some reason looks silver in the pics

i was looking on google for that pic of a car with tin foiled alloy wheels (steelies with tin foil made into stars stuck on it) that bike came up instead and i think its a dead ringer!

its funny, its harsh, i don't like the wheels or the reiger kit but like everyones said, we're not driving your car and its not our car. do with it as you wish, wheres the fun in everyone having the same car?

definitely agree with the spacers, that'll make it look so much better! go H&R! speak to Damian at DPM on this forum.

i'd also colour code the bump strips, door handles and side strips, change the rear wiper for an aero one.

oh and welcome to the forum.

jammy

doesnt look too bad, i think maybe for me id choose to have a different finish in the wheels, if they were the ones i had. and probably smooth over the rear valance perhaps.

 If you get a decent side view of your car i'm sure a photoshop could be done.

rox1oh:

I'm not a big fan of the wheels or bodykit but that stance is pretty good

At the end of the day its your car so do with it what you want, just learn as you go along and when you have the money to do it

It looks awright

Wheels will be a pig to look after in the winter though and as soon as they look a bit scabby they will look really bad! Get winter rims!

Code the bump strips and lower it a tad - and if your doing the kit thing get the rest of it and do it properly.

Don't get RS6's - everybody has got them! It's OK to be yourself you know!!!!!

Wouldn't worry about him,rarely is a good word said...........

 Looks alright mate. Few changes should be ace.

Where about in cardiff are you?

thanks man. this is the first ever car im changing parts on, so i guess as people said i can learn from others reactions and views. rs6's are definetly on the agenda,lol.

um w33ksy, im in cardiff everyweekend as i have family in Cyncoed and cathays.

i actualy live in the valleys,ha. Aberdare to be precise...?.

 Your car your choice mate!

Welcome aswell.

Andy

What does it matter what people think of your car? if you like it then thats all that counts, your the one that has to live with it. good luck with your future mods btw.

dont go changing to please people on here! be happy with whatever you decide!

 well said ally
