Looks loads better :afro:

You got yourself a good buy there by the looks of it, what's it like to drive? Why do you think the bonnet is sitting funny? :smiley:

seems heavy compared to mk3 yes, and steering seems heavy too but other than that a very comfortable drive  :smiley:

Bloody lovely to drive I think! Just not enough torque below 3k revs. Any plans for yours? I reckon a change of alloys would make it look loads better.

kinda like the rs4 alloys, subtle and effective. not sure if it will need lowering with 18s on?

Decided the Interior needed a fresh look, the horrid rubber coated centre console thats all peeling away and the Grab handles, VW Reflex silver, A few pics while in progress.





And Now Some silver  :smiley:




Need more Primer so ill do the rest tommorow, thought id scrub the surface scratches out of my glovebox too while it was off, buffed up and polished, Big improvement!
