Alright guys, thanks for taking a look at my car.
I'll try to always have an updated picture here on the first page, here's how she currently looks:
If you don't like reading,
Pictures are here...
Page 1 = Intro & Christmas Day Photos.
Page 2 = Seat Covers & Sunstrip installation (now gone)
Page 6 = Rear valance arrived.
Page 7 = Rear valance installed (finally).
Page 8 = Back Box fitted, debadged front grill fitted and blue LED sidelights fitted.
Page 10 = Facelifted front bumper, GTi Fest, en route to GTi Fest!
Page 11 = Coilovers fitted all round.
Page 12 = Stickers & BBS Split Rims!
It's my first car.
Bought in November 2010 iirc. A 2003 reg, 59k miles on the clock, FSH, excellent condition for it's age.
It's the 1.4, 75bhp model.
I plan to generally upgrade the car over the next couple of years with mods such as:
-G̶e̶t̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶c̶o̶i̶l̶o̶v̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶f̶i̶t̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶+̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶
-Getting a better interior (FR or Cupra seats)
-̶N̶e̶w̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶o̶y̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶e̶l̶s̶ (Need to save for tyres now)
-Cat-back exhaust system
-Induction kit
-C̶o̶l̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶c̶o̶d̶e̶ ̶b̶u̶m̶p̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶i̶p̶s̶/̶d̶o̶o̶r̶ ̶h̶a̶n̶d̶l̶e̶s̶,̶ ̶e̶t̶c̶
-Strut brace
-M̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶c̶k̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶w̶i̶n̶d̶o̶w̶
-Sub & amp
-Spray bits of the car in black (Numberplate backing on front bumper, rear valance, possibly roof)
And I think that's it for now. To all those who will ask 'what's the point, save and buy something better', I plan to get a 1.8 20vt dropped in after my current engine dies. I really like this car and wouldn't want to get rid of it, so I plan on just giving it a new life under a bigger and more powerful engine!
CHRISTMAS DAY - BEFORE ANY MODS.
Beginning with one of my favourite shots of my car...
(apologies for the shadows, pictures were taken quite early.)
