Thought id start a mini build thread that i can keep updating over the months so everyone can comment and see whats going on.

Bought that car at the start of May.

Standard Very high looking.

Then the hottuning coilovers came along.

Then some GTI tail lights.

Next was some aero wipers as my passenger wiper didnt have a spring in it, it just flapped on the windscreen.

Painted engine cover, and installing a new slam panel.

Things still to do:

RS4 Alloys once paypal stops being annoying

Window tints

Colour code rub strips on door and handles

Rear aero wiper

Sound system

Cant think of anything else right now so give me some ideas and comment on what you think so far

Hey another Scottich person with a 1.4!! yass

 thats a nice car mate, love the colour, you were lucky buying the car already colour coded! iv struggled to get my rub strips the right colour!

how low is your car sitting? as it looks good.

looking good, makes such a differance being colour coded!  just one question, are your plates legal, they look a bit different, but it may be my eyes!

nice mate, ill be looking at this.

you liking the car so far?

Looks really good so far mate.  RS4 is a good choice of alloys too.   

Maybe some form of bodykit and/or rear spoiler could go on your shopping list too?

My plates are legal in my eyes but they are using some motorcycle size digits, might get some legal stamped plates.

Id love an anni kit on it was thinking id save the money for my next car which will be another golf just bigger engine 1.8T would do me nicely, Spoiler was on my shopping list in my mind its a nice finish to the back end, what sorta adhesive is used or can you get the stuff from vw,  i love the look of golfs with RS4's on them.

Dunno how low its sitting as its on coilovers and im to lazy to measure anything when it was going down, all i know is i took the adjuster cup out from the rear so thats as low as it will get at the back and just made the front even.

I love the ride hight nice and low is the way to go.

Hopefully ill be getting a set of alloys soon, when im fitting them ill try find out how low it is, only putting 17s on as i dont want to loose to much power and comfort as its only a 1.4 see how the alloys sit then maybe some spacers will be going on.

New slam panel because a lorry was trying to mess with me show i was showing him was i was made of and i pushed him off the road.

shlammed is the way to be.

Tax disk holder will be whenever i remember.

Honk honk coming through was the best.

Hey diggy whats your opinion on the ebay induction kit???

Turbodaz:

Hey diggy whats your opinion on the ebay induction kit???

He gives me a run for my money with it.

Lol have you heard it, If so wats ur opinions?

Ebay induction kit was a good cheap choice like, does the job would say it gives you more power though probably a small amount but makes throttle response much quicker IMO and as adam says i give him a good chase until his turbo kicks in at 5th oh it gives a nice deep noise when accelerating which is why i got it instead of being stealth.

Seams bargain stuff is the way to go, hotuning coilovers are doing the job too.

Sounds the same if not louder than out mates 1.6 with a k&n

Colour coded door strips.

And a new tax disc holder for adam unfortunately not pictured yet.

Cheers diggy, il get that induction and the hotuning coilovers sometime soon then,

Wats next with yours then mate, Is Alloys on the list???
