Here is the car when i bought it

Then i put in a original grill as i didnt like the dabdged grill with the bonnet. And also got the front and rear bumper strips colour coded..

Then after all this it went into the bodyshop to a debadged grill put in and painted, bonnet properly welded and resprayed, and also had door handles and side strips colour coded and finished off with sum eye brows..

Then a big surprise!!!!!! When i got the car back my dad tinted the windows 50% Front 35% Rear and looks wicked..

Just need to lower it now as it stands a bit to high on the 18's. Tell me what u think guys, Give us sum suggestions on what to do next, Thanks for looking and will be updated once new parts arrive..

Members gallery is the spot for build threads.

 get coilovers and it changes the look of the car completly only me £100 to buy them and another £100 to install

Also as it got darker, took some some pics of my led's and my Brake light..

Used my sister's camera lol

the car looks good ..i would change the rear lights-not my personall taste the eye brows & the brake light but if your happy thats what counts  

damn those blue sidelights look chav

Looks
Lowering would change alot but im sure its next ..

lowering it is on the list, do you think i should get some spacers aswell??

 I would of thought so but cant really say until its lowered ..

There's one problem with lowering my car tho. this is:

There is a little ramp to get onto my driveway and into the garage, Im worried about the front valence scraping every time i pull it in and out. so it's going to have to be a gamble and hopefully it doesn't scrape.

I had to take out the cobbles at the end of my drive or my car just gets stuck

The mother isnt to happy about my great ideas.

Just dig up the road?

Once its lowered and if it scrapes i'l dig up the road...

 is it me or are the valances a different colour?? might just be the light but they look darker not too keen on it tbh has potential to be very nice but loose light cover on third brake light and the eyebrows(spoils the grill work) oh yeah and deck it then reverse on the drive lol

The pictures do make the valances look darker but up close their a little off colour but not by much. At the moment i'm not gunna mess around with the bits the bodyshop done as they did a top job, may consider it later but for now happy with the out come. Ye it looks a bit like a 4x4 at the moment but il sort that out, but budgets always the case on modding cars and cant afford nothing else for now. But when i get some new bits il keep the post alive.....

 id have a look on ebay when you want it lowering get coilies from janspeed for under 200 delivered and the dealer on their is not hard to haggle with i got the delivery off the buy it now price on my shocks and springs only cost think it was 125 delivered always worth looking when you haven't got the cash as you might find a set going cheap meaning you dont need as much cash!! looking good tho as i said it has potential will keep watching

Got rid of the golf badge on the rear... Might get sharan badge?????

 nice car mate . . .

 I have a colour coded standard mk4 rear vw badge which looks good

How did you do that mate, looks much better???

I bought a rear badge off another member and then split the badge. Around the outside diameter of the vw badge its rubber so you cant spray that. You just use the same method as spraying the Sharan badge and then glue the badge back together and fit it on the car.

Took about 3 days in total to spray it.

Please get rid of them horrid rear lights and eyebrows at the front, some standard GTi rears would look the part or the US spec rears.

Ye i wunna get sum new lights i was thinking of the hella ones with the white centre and the red surround???

These?????????

 Hey, cars lookin' good. If you like the mods you've done, then you keep them that way.

Thanks dubya, i am thinking about changing the rear lights anyway so u think hella rccr's would look good on silver, like the pic above???

 Yes, they are the RCCR hella rears. They llook alot crisper in my opinion. Even the standard GTi rears would look good.

Ok mate il keep an eye out for sum RCCR's as i do like them.

Lower it before you do any other mods mate, like has been said before, will totally transform it.. it must handle like crap at the moment?

Lowering is one of the next mods but at the moment,little tight on budget so gunna have to wait a bit. But they will be on before christmas.

Went out to a little location just round the corner from me, Had the camera in the car, so perfect moment for some pics... SO here they are:

Comments welcome..
