well as i need to travel a bit further to work i decided it was time to go down the old diesel route.
found a couple of nice golf but they were all gttdi's and i couldn't get a decent rate for insurance then i found my mk4 sdi
i know its as slow as growing hair but it suits my needs perfectly and the insurance is next to nothing anyway pics
not very good pics as it was very cloudy and dull.
any way i put some german plates on and some polished face 18"a8's
hopefully some coilies this week
then maybe a new front splitter and get the bumpstrips painted

Looks spankingly clean mate
Was going to suggest the group buy on rep anni bits like colin, i was going to get the splitter from that guy but i found one already in silver pretty cheap. But his ones look really good
What coillies did you go for?

Good job
I suggest fitting new topmounts while your fitting the suspension, there only £15 or so & make a noticable difference if yours are old & tired!! Less harsh ride.

Ive comitted to buying a set of skirts & a rear, there priced very well even without a group buy, just need to wait on them getting made.
