Cheer JV

Ok bought the car back of January this year as the cost of running my Scooby was getting silly with so I decided to part ex the Scooby and got a mk4 1.8t oceanic green

Pics from when I got the car



Stayed standard for about 2 weeks whilst I looked for parts
And got myself some R32 alloys And fitted the same night in my hotel car park (got some strange looks)




Wasn't a fan of the 4x4 looks so got online and got some Jom coilovers (had these before on my vectra gsi and was happy with the ride)


Left the car to settle for a few days And fitted my pressed plates

More updates :) been looking for leathers for a while and came across a set of cream on eBay from a tdigti so I thought I'll place a silly bid not to much :) and I ended up winning them pics when I got them. Slightly dirty bu nothing a good clean would help with and came with door card and even the arm rest :)

So stripped the car on Tuesday night and just left my drivers seat in and when and picked up the seats
Fitted the seats in the service station before coming back to make my doors





Doors cards where made by stripping the Centre of my black 1s and bounding the cream leather section units in its place ( I didn't want full cream door cards)

How she looks with new combo



And a few taken other day in hotels car park


Oh yea and bonnet bra till I get time to take car back in off the bonnet to be re done :)

Re: balderz - mk4 new alloys

well its been a while since last update so thought i best do something new to the car

was getting bored with the car and put her up for sale then changed my mind and keeping her :)

so time to change a few things
Dazvw was looking for some different alloys and offered me a swap for his nearly refurbed rs6 alloys so we went about having a swap shop session :)


as i had the alloys off and car in the air thought i would paint my calipers yellow think it works with the green and the gunmeatal

and also fitted my seat coupe splitter :) finishes the front end of nicely
