Very nice. Subtle mods are sometimes the best.
Tint them and if you get problems, take them off.
yeah i might do, presume it would just be light tint spray
cheers

really like the headlight protectors do you know if you can get them for mk3's what sort of mpg you getting? thinkig of getting one of these in the next few month
not sure about the mk3 mate....getting roughly 55mpg to a full tank....or about 500 miles to a tank...about 43litres of Derv...
if i really push it and drive like a granny i usually get about 60mpg to a full tank...and well over 500 miles to a tank full
my jouney to work is about 20 miles and i get on average between 53-61 mpg, depending on traffic etc... for that run

mmm sounds good just got my 1.6 petrol today and i'm getting 35mpg which is more than my golf was but i fancy even more 
I got chrome SCN stickers good choice! I like the headlight protectors I never got any as my headlight have big stone chips so bit late now!
I would go with tint film spray looks crap on clear plastic all the spray marks show up!
How hard is it to fit a boost gauge?
You forgot to blur you plate in one pic btw

love ur car mate, really cant express how much i want an FR tdi, especially after todays antics, i have problems and its gonna cost me ££££ thinking of selling up, ideally dont wanna sell it as it stands as i would have likeed the bumprs for the next mk4 BUT it will sell for more modded which means i could maybe get a pre-facelift FR and start from scratch again, i.e. buy the bumpers alloys etc etc.....would take along time tho with my holidays booked too. my bro had a 52 plate mk4 golf and due to the fact it was modified (r32 kit etc...) someone paid over £4000 for it, if i could get someone who just passed there test and wanted a minted looking car then i know its a long shot but try get £4500 and that will get me a pre-facelift FR i think. i cant decided what to do, will fix it first obviously. I love the look of it soo much and dont know if i would be happy with a standard car that i cant affors to kit out but i cant be doing with the low powered engine and the probems im facing, i thnk its time has been served with me, siting at 33300 miles, not bad for a 2002, what u think? sorry for ma wee essay haha
cheers aimez, not gonna tint them i dont think, not sure on legaility of it, plus i like them the way them are...david at sere motots is selling them dirt cheap!
had the scn sticker for a while, was just trying out a macro shot, but i really want a DSLR!
Ill blur the pic now...thanks for the heads up.
Boost gauage was quite difficult, i had help from a local VAG garage...
cheers scott...keep your chin up mate, you car looks ace and you have done so much too it, always pushing the boundaries on it etc...how much will it cost to fix? what the actual problem with it?
I would def try and sell it modified, think there is loads of scope for a 1.2 modded car, especially one that looks good and not tacky...loads of people who have just passsed there test would jump at the chance to own it. Could always do a feeler thread for it?
If you sold it unmodified could you easily swap the bumpers over? Would you leave on eveything else?
nice looking car mate,i am curentley after a red cupra tdi and its proveing quite difficult to get a good 1
cheers mate, i thought about cutting mine in for one..as im doing a lot of stuff already on a cupra tdi...however they hold their value really well and i would astill have to pay a few k plus my car for one!
seen a few good examples for sale...where bouts u based?
went to scrappies today and got fuel injectors and coolent temp sensor, try that too see if it helps fuel, as for wishbone got tht and the joint and things needed today so might not be as costly as first thougt, hopefullly this will sort it out....as for selling, will see how repairs go first, ideally would wan to keep all mods for next beeza but depends on money, cant afford to change car ad keep all mods this year so would prefer to get the 1.2 running good and keep it till i can afford a swap. bit happier today as i feel were getting somewhere now, where as last night i thought i might need new cv joints etc etc......

was from awesome...about 150
the photos before show just how high the ride height is...seriosuly cant wait to lower it a touch
That's good then not too much money you fitting it yourself?
Yes the rear is so high mine. is only down 35mm at the mo but at the end of the month I change insurance and can lower it more if I want. Not sure how low though with the state of the roads, the council patched up the pot holes for the third time this winter only lasts about 2 weeks last 2 times.
