Heres an intro to my current car, a 97 8v GTI, flash red, 115k. Bought it standard in April and have been tootling away with it ever since. I believe I'm finished as far as cosmetic mods are concerned, quite like the OEM+ thing so don't really want to do any more. Car has just been serviced and is as ready as its going to be for whatever our winter throws at it this year. Hope you like.

Very nice :afro:
I'm quite liking the wind deflectors :cool:
Was the Mk4 gear knob and easy switch? Looks so much better than standard!

Absolute dawdle. Just tighten the adjustable collet right up and its fine. The gaitor needed a little fettling, not much though.

Looking good mate very clean only thing im not keen on is having that big fire extinguisher in the footwell.

Love it dude! I'm big fan of OEM+ too. VW got it right the first time so why change it :grin:

Id prefer smoked fogs and indicators up front,butthats just a personal preference.
Good work mate :smiley:

Thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated. This summers plans are either lamin-x on the headlamps and fogs (I've gone RIGHT OFF those crystals LOL) or hella quads and the odd bit of paintwork touching up and thats it really. And yeah, the plan was always OEM+ I don't want to stray to far from the path of righteousness....
