It's been 35 minutes, i demand updates !

 

Nice looking car. Definetely a good base for a few mods.

You might consider painting the grille like that, Makes a huge difference to silver mk4s Imo

Thanks! that's the plan.

 

Small update.
Bought a set of german style plates of Trevor during the week but hadn't a chance to fit them until today. Decided to get the dashes and the whole lot so as to not draw too much attention to them. Great service from Trevor and he answered all my queries quickly.

Meant to give the car a good wash before sticking them on but the weather has been crap so I went ahead and fitted them today. They're a nice and subtle mod imo.

Fitted:

Also bought a new HU which has a ful RGB colour range so I can match the interior clocks and switches well. Got the wrong aerial adaptor with it so will have to wait to have it fitted properly. Anybody with a golf cubby hole for a DIN space let me know because I will have the CD player taken out now too.

All phone pics so apologies for that but cba trying to find my sisters camera!

Wheels should be coming along soon enough from Keith too

 

I have one as I just fitted a double din radio

Looks a nice clean base to work off from, should get my own thread up

What wheels you going for or is it a surprise? Anything sorted for lowering yet?

 

Little update !
The old aerial was a little worse for wear so decided to get a new one.

Seller reportedly gets these from the oem manufacturer's source. It does feel like a quality one but will have to be tested !

Thinking about de wipering and debadging the car. It has no spoiler to begin with and I think it could look really clean.
Thoughts?

 

definitely delete the rear wiper/de badge, you going grommet or glass insert for wiper hole? nice car lad, good power in the 130

I think I'll get the glass insert

Steep enough for a piece of glass though! Anyone know if I need sealant when doing it?

That's what I'll do. Don't use the rear wiper much anyways and I do a fair bit of driving.

That's what I like to hear.you going for the silver ones or the black ones?

Wasn't bold enough to go for the black ones! Silver ones I went with in the end. Will be sitting like a tractor for a while though :/

I think the silver ones look a bit classier than the black ones.get the ole angle grinder to your springs and that would sort that out for ya

 

Got a nice phone call from the courier this morning.

Da da duuuuuuummmmm!

Some Cades Bern Wheels from Keith in Alloy Wheels

Went straight for the widow-maker to fit them!

It sat down quite a bit more once I took the hand brake off !

Big thanks to Keith, very happy with them.

 

Liking this buddy! Top work so far... How low you going??
H&R Cup Kit would sit it down just nice

That's what I fitted over the weekend (also from Keith

) Amazing ride quality, mostly country roads I'd be on and very happy with them, would definitely recommend them. Good choice not going for cheap budget tyres too

Thanks! Not very low! Just something enough to stop it looking like a tractor! I'm thinking along the same lines as that H&R cup kit too.

Did you go for the comfort set yeah? I don't want to compromise the ride quality too much so I think a H&R cup kit rather than adjustable coilovers are the way to go.

 

I'd say go with coilovers. You'll only wish it was lower if you go for the Cup Kit.
