Thats a really nice GTI. Looks like you got a minter.

Love the colour and the Santa Monica's. Any pics of the interior.

Hi thanks

Will get pics of the inside up later,

The Santa Monica's broke my heart all four needed a refurb and new Tyers.

That was looking like well over a grand "nuLook" were looking for £120+vat a wheel for diamond cutting...

I sold them on and on with the steele's...

Hi thanks

Ya it was 5L and I have just under 1 left for top ups.

 

UPDATE !!

Walked the NCT in Fonthill and not a back hander in sight !!

With the nct in the bag, it was time to strip a few bits off....

First to go were the Santa Manco i know before you all have a go, they all needed a refurb and at 120+vat each and new rubber... im thinking NEW BBS

Next was the front and rear valance swaped them out for 4motion.

Oh and front gti badge

 

Nice golf, just wondering where did you get that quote for the refurb as i have two sets of the santa monica's and would like to get them reburbed??

 

Nice looking bus there. Well wear

Hi thanks

It was NU Luk up the north there just past Belfast. There number is 00 4428 9336 5000.

They have a very good rep but £120+ vat a wheel they need to be good.

Hope this helps.

The Santa Monica's are the nicest mk4 oem wheel going, best of luck with them.

Peter

There is a few more bits done just need to post the update's

Got a Bargain set of 18" BBs CV.

And next week Milltek/ h & r Arb kit " Keith needs to stop putting ideas in my head"

Peter

 

Ah ya slippery slope now

 

Trying to get this upto date.

Took a trip over with joe as I wanted to know how close to the 180bhp it was after 9 year's.... and see what the bhp was before i start planing what im going to do next...

171bhp but there is something worng its all over the place

Thinking n75 but more investigating will have to be done.

THIS WAS THE PIC I GOT ON THE PHONE FROM ONE OF THE LADS !! I still cant get over why they were so cheep but

Was down picking up my front & rear 4motion valances and got a chance of a few OEM parts Cheap and i mean Cheap....

3 x TT pedals
2 x Golf mk4 mats 5 door
2 x Passet mats
2 x Front & Rear pads
1 x a3 Gear nob

This is what i was left with after the lads had there pick "i did sale a few bits"

Picked up a second hand cloth armrest so sent to be retrimmed in black leather replaced the catch and good as new. This is the cheapest and one of the best mods i think you can do on the interior of a mk4 golf. Find a mate that is selling there bora and swap the vents with the golf one's... Cost 40 minutes and a few bottle's of Corona

There are some more bits that i have done. But next week is a big one.....

 

Some real nice touchs there. Like the addition of the vents and pedals.

Did you fit a rear 4motion splitter?? Did you get an exhaust or tips for the space in the splitter?

Hi thanks

Ya got the rear 4motion splitter. Fitting a cat back Milltek next week, The new one with the GT80 tail pipes so that should sit nicely with the 4motion splitter.

 

Sounds nice. Looking forward to some photos of it then!

 

This is coming together very well in fairness!

 

Nice motor. Nice simple but tasteful mods. Good luck with car.

 

Spent an hour on the 2 of thease...

The cap just would not stay on... had to strip the boot and move the hole wiper motor out about 3mm!! but worth the extra bit of time..

And then mk5 satnav antana just trying it not to sure... have a stubby there,but this was left over from the old mk5 i had so might aswell try it.....

Any vews on it are more than welcome....

Peter

 

Got the wheels on over the weekend had to use 15mm spacers as the 2Omm were giving to much poke at the front...

 

Have to give Keith from Alloy-Wheels a big shout for all his help with the spacers.

Next im going to start an overhall on the suspensino.

-H & R ARB Kit Front and Rear

-H & R Cup kit

-New wishbone

-New s3/tt bushes

-New Droplinks bushes

Its a long way from finnished or anyway near yours.

Its only a 35mm drop with the cup kit, it keeps some of the comfort of the ome setup and with it been in daily use and a new baby, think its the way to go. Changing the wishbones and bushes are just for good maintence there's only 65k on it. but its 9 years old so will probley change the track rods aswell.

Did i see you looking at doing a dsg Air box ?? going to price the parts tomorrow when i pick up my Wishbones. Will post the price tomorrow.
