Featured Replies

Always wanted one as a project and finally found one after about a year!!!!!!!!!!

A 1993 Alpine White that had defo seen better days on a driveway just up the road from my gfs house! It was covered in a lovely green algee as sat under a tree with snapped mirrors! i thought i would be cheeky and offer 100 pound and they said yes and i dont know but it still had 2 months T+T so i was well chuffed!

The minute i got it i set the jet wash in it!!

The interior was mouldy and nasty so that went! plus badges and number plates!!

The body work was not good at all on the body work so decided to do a diy job on the body work!!!

Pick these up with decent tyres for £80 pound which was a result i thought!!! Seat Ibiza Sport Alloys.

After a couple of weeks a decided to give them a referb with the help of a mate and was really chuffed with results!

Its different mate! I like it, you've certainly not hung about with this. More pics of the pimping mk4 golf please.......

Edited by dirt_monkey

looks mint that roof like for the back speakers in your back door cards did thye just fit straight in with no bother as i was thinking bout doing some in mine

really like what youve done with everything man, Not a massive fan of the wheels as they are, would look so much better without the polished rim , and maybe some better low pro tyres, Love the roof aswell :thumbsup:

How did you do the roof mate? Vinyl or is it painted with stencils etc? Been looking at doing a camo roof on mine for ages just with my own colours but not sure really of the best way to go about it.

Looks awesome though dude.
