Well in the last 12 months i have had 4 golfs so it would take me a while to explain all of them! but the one i have now, (had it since september), my helios blue mark 2 16 valver - i have just lowered it 55 mm, and put a single light de-badged grill and crystal clear head lights. oh and put my stereo from in my other golf (one of them) in my valver. I keep meaning to get pictures up on here, must do it soon!!
