Title: mk4 4motion
Post by: brett on 06 October 2012, 18:42
I've had the car just over a week now so thought i better put a new dub ride thread up ,to be honest not planning on doin to much to this one,but you never know .Only thing i have done so far is fit the mk5 gti gearknob courtesy of MS1COYS for joining the mk4 brigade,cheers mate

Also got my eye on some oem alloys that were an optional extra but that can wait as it only had four new tyres fitted in june,and possibly anni front and rear valance and i think that will do me
I must admit after getting it i kept looking at it thinking its not a mk3 but after a week of driving it i can live with that lol
Anyway heres a pic ,will get some more when its a bit brighter as been looking fior the camera for a week

Wow has it been that long since I updated in here,well not much else to say now lol,other than put a green cotton panel filter in it last week and looking to get another airbox or the bottom half of one to smooth out
Also I finally wrapped all my trim ,only the crabon wrap and i know its been done to death but its loads better than the wood trim
