Hi There!
Im new here and just thought i'd start by putting up a few pictures of my Golf!
I brought it a couple of weeks ago, and im chuffed to bits with how it looks/runs!
So i gave it a quick wash last sunday to get a fewpics while the weather was good!

What do you all think?
im looking for some basic things to do for little expense! such as spray the wood trim, and get rid of the random RS' badge on the rear!
any ideas / suggestions of next things?
It has a dump valve but im unsure what one it is tbh, i will find out!
Very interested in the R32 kit, but unsure on how much it will cost and where to get the kit from, so any advice in that area would be much appreciated! :D
thanks!!
Matt

looks very nice mate! get shot of the dump valve, theyre no good! you need a recirculating one!
-
fair enuf :) not sure what it is will grab a pic this week :)

i like that :wink: trx is what my old cars reg ended in :laugh:
as said would agree on fitting a forge 007p recirc! :smiley:
-
may i ask what the difference is?
and a few people have mentioned TRX :P
cheers

a recirc valve recirculates the air from the turbo, a dump valve dumps it out into the atmosphere, which is where the pshhhhh comes from :)

Nice car but I would take off the RS badge but thats just my own opinion.

best front lights are OEM xenons, then anniversary, then the standard ones
rear lights, for a silver car you'll probably want US R32 lights, which are RCRR (red, clear, red, red) an alternative is the hella RCCRs

For xenons get a second hand set from ebay or the classifieds,
For the rear lights go to the dealers or just matz about £100 :smiley:

hello mate as others have said but your removing it anyway the rear badge :laugh: otherwise looking :cool: and in THE BEST colour to oh and maybe a mkv rear aero wiper thats a popular mod for the std item :wink: and Us spec rear lights :afro: you can see how they look with silver from my sig :drool: :rolleyes:
-
Thanks for the advice! Ill look in to aerials!
Ive recently been playing with the idea of having the wheels sprayed like a graphite kind of colour, unsure tho :S
P.s the badge and rear wiper are history! Will pop pic up soon!

with the badge mate, ive always just used an old card out my wallet and that fits nicly behind badge, it removed badge with no damage to paintwork and it removes alot of the glue at the same time, then i just use a small amount of white spirit to remove the left over glue, give the paint a quick polish after and job done. shame it isnt a 5 door, best colour though :smiley:
