  • Mk4 Golf, DERV FTW!
...Bought this car almost 2 years ago now, and it has spiralled out of control massively, had only planned for it as a 'regular' car, but I discovered this forum  :lipsrsealed:

I should have created a build thread sooner, but I didn't...

Here is a few pics from the beginning to now:


 


Went through a sticker bombing phase  :lipsrsealed: :sick:



I enjoy the whole detail side of modding a car - Nice beading shot  :smiley:



Shot blasted an old set of callipers - Still haven't finished  :sad:



DIY boost gauge




Old porsche's were up until a few weeks ago - Sold them for a few other cosmetic goodies  :smiley:

Full spec :

18 rep CH's yoko paradas
bistein b4's with H&R ~35mm lowering springs
Uprated dog bone mount - Must change, vibrations too much!
R tech custom map - 190/310
312 fronts, red stuff pads all round.
standard sport seat interior
EGR delete
Eibach front & rear ARBs.
Piper X filter, other niff naff and trivia...and an awful lot of detailing hours!  :smiley:

I sold the alloys and managed to get a Anni rear (freshly sprayed), a new tail gate with the mk5 boot handle (done and sprayed less than a year ago) & the CH's! I also have a US front rubstrip with the orange side lights and orange repeaters to go on...




Going to be a busy couple of day, got all of this to fit and a full detail to complete. Will put some pics of it after, will look totally different!  :smiley:

Cheers for reading.

Pics or never darken my door step again... :angry:

 :grin:

How did you do it? I think I am going to have to re do it, the gauge keep moving with the car. I think I will have to plasti solder/super glue it all in place, just finding the patience to do it!
