dude! finally found me way onto here!

was amazing fun the road trip! i am glad i said i would go!! lol

i agree that even driving that far was alot better than sending moolah on paypal or whatever and then never having the wheels turn up! would have been gutting! (like the guy on edition38 supposedly bought the same ones?!.....yeh right!)

need to get em on a trial fit asap! ya got the bumper yet?

been a busy week.

Was plannning on putting a new 5slat grill on, hence the picture above, but it didnt fit well at all, including the grill that i purchased the car with.

Found out that my golf came with the 7slat grill as standard not the 5slat. so luckily one popped up... and on it went.

also the front end was lacking orangeness. so orange front indicator units was put on. and the big change was the addition of the red trim GTI bumper.

Also new headlights + inner spot lights were bought: added freshness to the front end.

Exterior now complete. :cool:

Excuse poor quality of pictures. dire fail.

Tyres will be put on the Turbo Compompotives next week. 195/45 all around.

stance is awful at mo... need front dropping down. as you can tell-coilovers were put on in dark. :lol:

and as long as there cared for: they run for ages mate. really do reccomend them. was apprhensive at first coming from my corsa.. but love it more every day i drive it.

and apparently it takes about 80k miles for a mk2 GTI engine to actually run in. 8)
