Bought it back in october now just befor my 17th birthday, payed £770 for it as it was not running properly when i bought it, however whilst i was learning to drive i spent my sparetime fixing it, the problem was the headgasket which had blown quite badly. as it happends i dont appear to have any picture of it before i changed a few things on it, so ill upload a few photos of it as it stands now. your comments/ideas for future mods would be much appreciated. thanks :)

Found a photo of it the day after i bought it.

Looks good mate.
Like the sprayed wheels, look far better in black.

I never liked the mk4 shape at first but by seeing all the mk4's on here im really liking them now.
Take it you've got more planned for it?

Good work

cheers mate, yeah wouldnt mind a debagded grill on the front, and a bonnet bra maybes, ive heard the bonnet bra scratches the bonnet over time but would be nice to have one just to stick on for going to car meets or what ever.

Loving the car, i'm running a 1.2 with same colour :D

Wish i'd gone the whole distance and powder coated my wheels, really suits the Flash Red.

Recommend some detailing like colour coding, red front calipers etc, really improves the look without too much effort :D

its funny you should say that about colour coding the callipers lol cause i sprayed mine black and the rear drums black too, but now looking at other peoples red calipers i think i might respray them. cheers mate ;)
