 Why oh why did you spend that money on other stuff when you could have dropped it for the same price? Get it sat down mate

lol only spent £25 so far ... £30 if you include the 2 mkivs stickers! £20 for the K&N and £5 for the ariel, the alloys were given to me

as for dropping it ive got my dad on that one, he's looking around for me, good having a dad as a mechanic lol

 If i was you, deck it spray the bumper trims same colour as car get a standard gti spoiler tint the windows and get the standard gti rear lights with the darker bit in middle, id do that for starters :)

nice car alex.  what else have you planned?  you should get some gti lights (was my first mod lol)  yeh and really does need lowering.. but so does mine! but nice start mate

looking at lowering it! it would make the alloys look better (theyre only 15s)

thought about a spoiler to but ... not sure

also fancy angel eye headlamps too, loads of stuff buzzing around

could do with a respray its got plenty of scratches but its all £££ well see lol

mite not do much, would ideally want to upg to TDI or GTI some time in the future once ive got a few more years and ncb

Looks mint condition What colour is it?  I dont think ive seen that blue on a golf before, it similar to that dark blue you see on imprezas

not to sure to be quite honest, i beleive indigo blue but thats only going off others ive seen that look similar ...

any ideas anyone?

Indigo Blue is the right colour mate.  One of the best colours on the Mk4, IMO.

waheey i was right lol, i though it was, but i was only going off other cars!

its a great colour for keeping clean, and a lovely shine once its had a bit of tlc.

its scratched to buggery at the mo which i really need to try and do something about but not sure which products etc.

mostly small scratches nothing to deep

mine was in poor condition when i saved it from a women and her kids lol!  just spend a good day with cleaning porducts and a bit of g3 on the nasty scratches and it will clean up nicely, there a detailing bit on here with loads of good threads on getting cars nice and shiney again

 fitted (well daveth did) some mudflaps and te wolfsburg surrounds at the weekend!!

and decided this would look cool after a play on PSP ... if only... lol

 Alex,it could be cheaper than you think mate.\i can get you a boot with glass for £50,ask Jake how much it would cost to smooth and paint it

really? i was thinking that or forget the wiper and stick an aero one on! they look a bit tidyer.

it'd deff look much better smoothed anyway, thinking of getting pressed plates to, those are knackered, especially the front one!

 Get some new plates, debaged the rear (just the Golf and 1.6) and get it slammed on them A3 rims. It will look top class bud!

thems the plans man!

think it would be much easier just getting rid of the 1.6 ans golf anyway, thats what i was thinking, the missus was watching something crap so i played on psp lol

just trying to save funds for the lowering anyway!

but

cheers dude

 Only a small change but de-badged the boot and it looks a whole lot better!!

 Just missing three rear head rests,wonder who has some for sale

you know what i only noticed that the other day looking out of the mirror...''hang on i dont have rear headrests''

unfortunatly for you i never carry any more than 2 people (i have no friends) lol

did you ever do ever do anything with that parcel shelf though??? lol

I wish my dad would hurry and fit these coilliesfor me, I did ask him a while ago and it does need them on desperatly!!

 Ohhhh coilies,the one thing my car is missing.Where did you get those from? It'll look awesome slammed mate

 got em off a guy off here, robvw.

he's had them about 6 months or so but theyve been sitting in his shed and they'll do for my little run about.

Just need the old man to get in gear and get it on his ramp.

got bought aero wipers, front and rear for crimbo! I was spoilt

it deffo needs dropping tho, make me wheels look less diddy anyway haha

 Do the rears yourself,it'll only take you an hour,leave the fronts for your dad if you don't fancy having a go yourself.

 thats what I thought, my girlfriends dad said he might give me a hand with the rears, theyre easy enough.

have done them on a fiesta before without to much effort, were going to do the rear wiper tomorrow possibly because the cap needs cutting down a bit.

 looking good dude.... i really need some coil overs... il put my 19's on and be about as high as a bloody crane.....

also if any one got an idea of a new rear light as mine are all red, cant see my indiactors at very well, lol dont think the rozzers will like them....

 dump the rear lights and get the gti ones, makes a big diffrence, drop it, 18s and youre cruison

gr8 plates and quick delivery

 i was going to get some pressed plates, like you can see mine were pretty knackered but my gf mum and dad bought me some shiny new ones along with the rear aero wiper for crimbo so im good for now!

Thats the plan, been looking around for some GTI rears or US, just seen the thread about the US ones from the dealers...

would look a damn site better though!

[edit] still looking for rims, trying to find something a bit uncommon. I wanted old RS4s but 2 golfs have turned up at work with them on now so thats put me off. The search continues ...

 Coilies have been fitted today with david my gf dad (daveth on here)

think the front needs to be raised a bit more but thats a job for tomorrow because im knackered

looks tenfold better now. I'll put pics up tomorrow if its a bit brighter!!

 Good lad,it's a nice easy job coilies

Wasn't to bad with two of us, one knowing what they were doing lol

Couldn't go out in it last night though, i was scraping and rubbing just coming off the estate, did make me laugh.

The front is still pretty low, might need raising a tad but a did manage to tackle some HUGE speedbumps in town without beaching at the top!

The hunt for rims...begins!

 What's your budget,style?

Big style, little budget haha

Nothing to fancy, initially wanted old RS4s but there's 2 mk4s at work with them so thats those off the board. Liking the idea of TT comps at the mo.

Been looking at VAG wheels mainly but l like the Cupra Rs and the style you were thinking of before the latest but i'm not best clued up on manufactures and that.

 ... Borbet style! I do like those! Big bucks though.

What do you think of these? I know of a set going for £500 without tyres.
