Nice golf you got there john.. not 100% on the front grille myself but its something different anyway! best of luck with it!

 

Well wax car by the look of those pics! nice colour to,get ur self a Bonet bra till u get the little bage cut out filled in in the bonnet,will look 100 times better! and som German plates and vagdrivers surrounds!!!!!

 

Thanks for the comments lads keep them coming!
The last owner took really good care of this car, there's only 80k miles on it.
He must have polished it every week. I had it spotless all ready to polish myself but then the fog came down and then it started raining when it lifted!! Time to build a garage me thinks!!

mmmm....not sure on those bonnet bra's......

 

nice motor there. i really like the grille. best of luck with anyway

 

Well lads, just a small update here.
Got new wheels on the car at last. Just put these on until I can get the lids together for LM's.
Desperatly needs to be lowered a bit now

 

good work those wheels really suit it... yeah as you said needs a lowering alright but sure all in good time... enjoy the wheels while they're new

 

Lookin gud, just need to lower it nd sort out grill nd your on da right track!

 

Nice colour. My Bora was that colour. it has a good depth when polished well.
Not a huge fan of that grill but each to their own

Loving that MK1 Pajero...I had one in Australia..unstoppable

 

Reckon I'll do an update.
Things are moving at a snail's pace since I'm out of work. But tbh I don't really mind as I'm enjoying changing bits and pieces every now and then.

What's been done to date:
cruise control
arm rest
diy alu trim
anni gear knob and gaitor (cheers declan

)
wired for mfa conversion, waiting on new clocks
illuminated bora vents
k&n panel filter
refurbed a set of old rs4's i had in a graphite grey
new front grille sprayed satin black (some will be very happy to hear this)
helle r/c/c/r rear lights (undecided on these, don't think they suit the green?)

uprated bulbs from powerbulbs.co.uk
led number plate bulbs
aero wipers front and back
New front ebc grooved and dimpled discs wirh red dot fast road pads(wouldn't get these pads again due to the quantity of dust they give off)

New rear brembo discs with pagid fast road pads
Goodrich braided lines, front and mids
Pressed german style plates with vagdrivers.net holders
New coolant temp sensor
Timing belt and water pump done
New maf sensor
New wishbones
New lambda sensor
New oil breather hose
serviced every 5k
also resprayed the calipers silver, didn't like the red from the previous owner.
etc etc

Have a lot more planned to do pending money. Top of the list is coilovers and then some paint to clean up some areas.
I'll also like to get front and rear 4mo valances and miltek cat back and I want to change the boot spoiler too.
All in good time I guess.
Anyway here's some pics, let me know what you think.
John

They're just water marks not a badly sprayed wheel

I'm missing one of these centre caps if anyone can help me out?

 

The dark wheels on the green look the business! Keep it up, not to gone on the RCCR's myself, i like them on red or silver cars, have you the standard GTI lights Red/smoked/smoked/red? The dark in them would tie in well with the wheels?

I had the same discs on the front of my last car, the EBC green stuff are not dusty at all after they bed in initially there is a bit but it clears up after a thousand miles or so?

 

Oh i am liking this! The dark RS4's on green looks the business,lowering will finish it!

I would fit these lights i think the will compliment the Green car and dark RS4's nicely...

US spec tail lights

 

Thanks lads.
@Shaun, went and sold them and i'm sick now!
@Shane, they're pretty sweet. Would they come up much or limited to american ebay?

 

I think the lights come up a bit on ebay.de, i might be wrong though!?

Ah their only a small thing John car looks sweet! Lowering will make a huge difference!

 

Car looks well now.
I'll take them old rear lights off ya if you wanna get rid of them.
Im looking for a set of them or them new ones you have on your car. Whatever i can get my hands on.

 

Cheers, really looking forward to lowering it alright.
It's far from the way I want it but it's getting there.

Shaun did you see that lad selling the anni was looking for centre caps if you still have them?

 

Henrik, the old smoked ones are gone but if I go changing again(more than likely will) then I'll keep you mind.

I was indeed John, sound for sending him my way, appreciated

 

John here are a few sets from ebay.de

dearer,accepts paypal but doesn't list shipping to ireland

Cheaper and lists shipping to Ireland but doesn't take paypal.

I would e mail the second guy and get his Iban details (international bank account number) and snap them up!

No bother, Cheers.

 

No worries Shaun.

Shane thanks for the links, I'll have to get the credit card down to an acceptable level first, I'll be killed! The better half got the rear lights for my birthday!!
