So did all the 2005 shows with her looking like this:

But all I'd done to her was take bits off my old golf, (some of which had been transferred from my golf before that!) so was gradually getting more and more tired of it all. I do love the above pic, and think the wheels are gorgeous, but fancied embarking on something a bit different!
So the wheels went
and she was reduced to wearing some black steelies (expertly sprayed by myself!).
My original plans for the gti had been to go for the stripped out racer look, but as she had turned into my daily driver, this was not so practical, as I'm forever having to give mates lifts etc so need back seats. However I thought I could come to a compromise, and have a bit of a racy feel with a bit of luxury in it too. Wit hthis in mind I picked up a pair of Reclining Cobras, and oh my god they were possibly the comfiest seats ever, could do such long journeys with no aches at all!!
I also started searching out bits and bobs, having saved up a bit of money over summer I went a bit at the end of it, spanking about a grand on bits and bobs. This included a set of FK Konigsports, a bargain from germany at only £350 delivered, with a couple of months use on them!! Also got a nice sub and amp, and sold the ridiculously large system that I did have weighing down my car and deafening me when I turned it up!!
Old sound system
Unfortunately due to a hectic course schedule at uni, I had very little time to actually do anything to my car, so have just been gathering parts whenever I could spare the money, and sometimes when I couldnt!!
