Title: Favourite Mod (Performance/Cosmetic/ANYTHING!)
Post by: VR6_Wherry on 18 November 2010, 14:07
As above, what is your favourite modification you have made to your Mk3

Funnily enough mine isn't the £350 SPAX or the £300 full Scorpion Exhaust. Mine is in fact a £30 lower Glove Box. It's just soo bloody handy! :grin: Anyone who hasn't got one, i advise you too!

Post away, some may come in pretty handy! :cool:

Two cold air feeds to the air box, certainly livens up the lower half of the rev range on the valver!!

cosmetic wise, i love my uv dash lights, they are  :cool:

On the 8v engine it was the camshaft. It felt like a new car.

On the 16v engine I'd say the decat did open up the lower and mid range a bit, but I've yet to experiment with it much.

On the mk3 as a whole? I'd say the coilovers too.

My favourite mod is Toph, he doesn't have much performance as he's always smoking, and isn't great to look at either, but he's got a cracking sense of humour.

Are they easy to fit? Might fancy getting one!

My favourite mod is the exhaust that I bought from deano on here, id never put an aftermarket zaust on a car before and it transforms the look and sound!

Even though iv had probs with my mk3 I still love it n it's the best car I've had yet! I got a new set of crystal black fogs+indicators over the weekend coupled with a DIY joey'd headlights makes my front end look well good!

Lowering on coillies is a close 2nd favourite mod!!

I like the early mk3's. That looks nice.

i do like the VR Splitter, it's cheap and in my opinion makes the car look 10x better from the front!  :smiley:

Also agree with the coilovers, nothing better than a low mk3!

Gotta be for the speakers for me! A car just doesn't feel done until the music plays properly. Nice decent bass and quality is just luvly.
To be honest, this is a bit more essential in my golf at the moment to drown out all the rattles and squeaks and warning lights trying to get my attention :angry:

I have to disagree with the lower glove box. It looks better but is too small and useless really. The best mod for me has to be the lowering. Looks great and improves handling no end. Snifferdog....glad you're happy with the zaust Buddy  :wink:

Jetex, coils, Missano's and the rims.  Always fall for the car again when I swap the rims over, loving the LM's earlier this year and the ML's for winter.  Very happy.  On a side note, Morettes for light over the crap originals all day long.

Do you have any vids by any chance? How much more sound difference does the manifold make? i'm running a Jetex Decat and a cat back Scorpion system and that sounds insane too!! :evil:

Gear box gives it a bit more and lifters help when working on the engine :smiley:
