Right, so Ive had the car since february of this year (2008) and so far (touch wood) its not let me down.

Here is the car how I bought it:

After getting annoyed with carrying loads of CDs in the glovebox it was time to change the CD player: (Also notice the R line gear knob I added)

Added a replica anni kit (JOKO), and fabloned the b pillars:

Then added a B sting aerial... (Also added super brilliance bulbs in the front with SuperLUX 501 LED Sidelights)

Next was a change in wheels...yes there common but my personal favourite other than BBS LM's.

I then black fabloned the front grill to see if I liked the darker front look, and decided it was deffinately for me! So yesterday and today sprayed and fitted a second hand grill I got of ebay. Also got my R line bonnet and UK-MKIVS sticker fitted!

Heres a picture of the rear with the JOKO styling valance fitted...

Last week I receieved my OEM anni rear valance with cut out....couldnt wait to get it on. Having a cut out and exhaust tip on I had to de badge it too....yes its about time

Finally I fitted some coilovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Getting some knocking noises at the moment, so will compliment them with some arbs and spacers soon!

Heres some pics!

Comments welcome! dont be to be to harsh! I like it, you dont have too!

 Looks great Dan,new valance,new exhaust?

 Yep! Cant wait! Hope it comes tomorrow but I doubt it! more likely mid next week!

Will make my own exhaust up, might just completely remove the back box. Other than that Dads got some back box's in stock which im sure he wont miss lol

Cherry bomb style back box on a diesel anyone?

 looking good Dan its a quicker SLOW build thread than mine

looks nice tho man!!

Thanks Alex, only just looked back at the interior pick and it doesnt look like it was ever cleaned Probably should have got a newer photo...

ive seen worse. Usually when i step in mine, it always seems full of crap on the carpets 

Black rear view mirror dan

 Where might I get one of those :O

Been searcing on the web theres a few on ebay.com but i think it may be worth a call to the dealers and see what price they are.

 Cheers mate, ill look into it. Might look a bit odd inside the car though with all frey roof lining and then a black mirror

 good progress mate, nice to see your getting the anni rear valance as the reps just dont look right, the fronts arnt a bad rep though. ive never been a fan of bras but i think yours complimented by the black grill sets it off, ive got a black grill and im getting any lights next week just to blend it all in. keep it up mate!

Thanks very much for that Jacko, wish I had bought a petrol...If only I had known diesel was going to be nearly 15p more expensive...

And yeah, I was never struck on bonnet bras either but they have really grown on me...and the silly things called air deflectors on the front help judge the distance infront of you...

Id love to get anni lights but the price is very expensive, someone I know is possibly doing a joey mod on his so ill wait and see how they turn out.

Hopefully getting the valance tomorrow

Thanks for the comments once again

Dan

 Update, OEM valance on with exhaust tip and debadged. Last 2 pictures on first post.

Dan

 Anyone have any opinions on FK Highsport coilovers? Thinking of getting some.

Dan

 Aero wipers?

 looking sweet with the badgeless rear and anni val'!!

 Looking spot on now Dan Look forward to seeing it at the next meet.

Defo get it dropped and it will be looking sweet.

I think Goody's running the FK's so you will have to have a word with him.

Tom

 Yep i dropped goody a pm, AND YES I need a sharan badge, anyone know which year sharan badge fits? Ive found one but it doesnt look much smaller than my current one! lol

Dan

Dan

a sharan badge would look alot better, a colour coded one would look even better!

PM shaq on here, he does them for about 12 quid i think.

I think you'll find mine is slower !

No worries mate, I went down... few nice guys there...not good with names though! Was speaking to a guy with a silver mk4 with a 1.6 in for awhile. Probably will head down next week too!

Dan

Bloody hell the anni valance really does make it look different.

Nice one!

Cheers for that mate!

Did you head down ricoh tonight? Dont think I saw another derv there!

Dan

 Nice mate i like the anni valance's! Thinking of getting a bra for mine too.. where exactly did u get an rline one from!? How much it set u back??

 Got it from america mate, $27 and $8 postage. (that was when the dollar was good)

My dad has shipments in every couple weeks, so as a 'gift', got it through him

Dan

 Can you get any more 'gifts' ;) lol... as ijust found one on ebay genuine R line one for £55 delivered but ur price sounds alot alot better lol!

 I was thinking about getting a group buy going, but I worked it out and to make it worthwhile they would still be about £45 each mate, especially with the pound/dollar how it is.

Dan

 dude check ebay £49.99 or best offer ....

 lol ok i just saw the $ sign

 Haha yeah the one thats located in england and sells the genuine R ones is £55 delivered.. id rather put that money towards coilovers.. hmm.. decisions decisions decisions.. let me get the car out the garage first sprayed up and nice and then ill decide.. New rims might be in order too first lol..
