Hi All,

Been a member for a bit and finally bought a Golf

I know its a 1.6
and not everyone likes them but its all i can afford and i cant wait
until i can afford a 1.8T.

Its a 1.6se on an 02 plate with 63k on the clock and FSH.

Thoughts please and some cheap mods that aren't going to screw my
insurance over

And before everyone says it, im looking for new
wheels, if anyone has any for sale please let me know

Cheers guys

danpalmer1993 · Apr 15, 2012

THEngland · Apr 15, 2012

Ah sorry the jvc looked like a double stack

I wish!
Was my first mod, gonna get a new one soon [Y]
Heard good things about JVC and Sony Double din's if that helps and believe it or not, Halfords often do good ones

danpalmer1993 · Apr 15, 2012

Yeah will be one of the first things I do

ah I will have to have a look,like most others I tend to stay away from halfords haha

THEngland · Apr 15, 2012

Me too, unless it's my Meguiers detailing haha!
I only glanced but they not bad

What other plans you got pal?

danpalmer1993 · Apr 15, 2012

Yeah there cleaning stuff isn't to bad tbh

probably stubby ariel, wheels, colour bumper strips, debadging and gti lights and steering wheel but it's all time and money as usual

danpalmer1993 · May 15, 2012

I did the following mods a while ago but forgot to update my build thread. I have serviced the car and bought some goodies from the scrapyard to clean up the interior.

New engine cover and cleaned the engine bay whilst i was there.

New wheel to replace the battered faded old one.

New gearnob and gaiter to replace the faded old one.

All this cost 15 or 20 pound, cant remember.

Think im going to debadge the rear this weekend as well and have ordered a stubby aerial

danpalmer1993 · May 21, 2012

I ordered some AG goodies and a stubby aerial as i can only afford small mods before payday. Sorry for the dreadful phone pictures. Im going to debadge this week as well [

danpalmer1993 · May 22, 2012

Well it kindly rained last night after i cleaned the car so I have a beading photo but its not great.

And
i went to debadge it last night and have done a partial debadge and
left GOLF on and it already looks better but im not sure if i wanna
debadge the GOLF part. I think i probably will as it looks much better

Killer93yo · May 22, 2012

Nice start you got there.

what about some gti rear lights?

danpalmer1993 · May 22, 2012

Yeah i think im going to need some to replace the poverty spec lights. Just need to wait until payday

danpalmer1993 · May 25, 2012

I have a wedding later so took the morning off to have some fun with
the car. I fully debadged the wording on the rear after only taking off
the 1.6 before. I have also had a go at carbon wrapping the inside of
the rear badge. And I have finished it off with a wash using AG shampoo
and SRP.

Jansell · May 25, 2012

Looking a nice start bud. Get some wheels, it will look so much better. Oh and SLAM IT!

By the way, how the eff did you carbon wrap the inside bit of your rear badge? [:S]

danpalmer1993 · May 25, 2012

Yeah they are the two main things im saving for, trying to find some decent wheels i like and will then lower it. I stenciled round the cut outs in the badge using a spare badge i have and then cut the wrap using a stanley knife. I then stuck it it and used a cocktail stick to work it into the corners of the badge. It doesnt look great if you look closely but from a distance it looks good

THEngland · May 25, 2012

DP FTL [facepalm]

THEngland · May 25, 2012

badge looks nice mate
Well done [Y]

KiKi_X · May 28, 2012

Bump!!

Really nice colour.. Hope you get some coilys on it and some rims.. then SLAM IT! lol i still need to lower mine..![:S]

danpalmer1993 · May 28, 2012

Cheers Kiki, gutted i couldn't come to homegrown but i think my car would have looked shoot next to the others anyway. Wheels are hopefully on there way soon, nothing special though and then coilovers! [
