picked up my new car a couple of weeks ago and i am so happy with it. It is a 2000 Golf gti 1.8t with 73,500 miles on the clocks and i only paid £1600 for it

my polo sold today which i am very sad to see go, but cant wait to start modifying my golf now

my old polo


old and new together


and finally my golf


went on a bit of a spending spree when i got back from picking her up

brought some more goodies for my golf recently haha

first up, got a Forge 008 dump valve, gives a much better sound than the original one

Next i brought some headlight eyebrows to make the front look a bit more aggressive

I have also ordered a load of matt black paint to spray the wheels. it will have to do till i can afford to buy new ones

and a couple of random pictures, parked up next to my bosses TT

transporting a door for some filming i have been doing recently

not much of an update, but given her the first clean in ages and finally took a picture of the interior to put up as well

That interior's nice!

cheers, i love the interior feels so much nicer than the polo interior. The Recaro's hold you in place so well when you corner fast as well, there brilliant haha

done a few more jobs today

first up i had a go at seeing what was wrong with the passenger window. I didnt realise how hard it was going to be to find out haha

while i had the door panel off i thought i may as well wrap some of the wood bits as well

And finally took the golf badge of the rear

My dads mate came round the other day in his new 911, so i thought i would get a picture haha

Only recaros I've sat in were when we owned fords, before the scene got too chavy. The wrap looks nice doing the same on my polo door handles but gloss black

Yeah the recaros are really good, hold you in the corners and comfy too. I just couldnt stand the wood had to cover it up

right finally finished uni and moved home, so now i will have a lot more time and money to work on my car.

First up i had to buy a new battery the other day, didnt get a picture but i imagine you all know what a battery looks like haha.

Next i finally got round to painting the vw badges black

and then i set about sanding down and priming the new spoiler. It is now ready for a lick of paint and then i can put it on at some point later in the week

before

After

forgot to put this picture up as well

I had more time than i thought yesterday, so i managed to put the black onto the spoiler.

Just in the process of putting the clear coat on today

while i was waiting for the spoiler to dry i thought i may as well paint the wheels too

rubbed down:

painted:

and some pictures of them finished

good progress man! any other plans?

did you not think of taking the wheels off by any chance?

Got plenty of plans haha just need money to do them. I'm going travelling in the New year so trying to save up for that as well as modify my car. Want to lower it, New exhaust, remap, New wheels, the list goes on

did the same thing with my polo, I find it quicker to mask up and paint on the car instead of taking each wheel off separately

had a couple of deliveries today, nothing big

got a stubby aerial

And some new VW stickers for the wheels as the old ones were ruined

got a replacement boot handle today as my old one was in a terrible state

And the new one fitted, thanks to a DIY guide i found

Only doing small cheap jobs at the moment till i save up a bit of money. Car is getting the cambelt and service done on tuesday as well so that will cost me a fair bit

got some silver indicator bulbs to get rid of the orange in the headlights

before

After

Almost happy with the front of the car for now, just need to invest in a splitter when i get paid in a couple of weeks

While it is nice out, i thought it would be rude not to finally take some nice pictures with my dslr. Car was clean when I left, but managed to get dirty on the way which was a bit annoying

Brought a Flyeye kit yesterday and it got delivered today! nothing like quick service haha. so i fitted them today

before and after

also did the side indicators as well

before

After

Finally a shot of the front after both had been done

found out that i needed 4 new tyres when i got the service done yesterday, so went and got a quote thinking it would be like £30-40 a tyre but no! £240 for a set.

So i had a look on ebay and found these audi TT wheels with two brand new tyres and two with 5mm tread left all for £180. They need a refurb but nothing a bit of sandpaper and paint wont sort out. Gives me something to do tomorrow now

Also the spoiler is finally done had a few problems with the clear coats but got there in the end. will be putting that on tomorrow as well

Got the New wheels sanded down and painted today

And on the car, fill the arches much better than the old ones. However now I want to lower the car which needs money to happen
