Cheers Jv
Well took the plunge and bought my first derv!
After the painful few minutes of parting with a few £k's I drove home and wow did it make me smile!
Mk4 Gt Tdi130
53 Plate (2004)
Black Magic 3dr
54,000 miles
Climate control
6 speed
May be a slow progress on a budget!
Any way less of the talk and time for some photos!

So then it was onto the deep clean, change plates and de-wiper:
Jetwash, shampoo, jetwash, shampoo, jetwash, clay bar, jetwash, polish, dodo juice wax :laugh:
Enjoy some black magic shinyness!

After going through all that on the exterior and becoming over strong on my right arm i thought it would be rude not to carry on.
Only an hours work :grin:

Well this got delivered and i was eager to try carbon wrapping out, one bloody finger later and it was done. Also fitted led reg plate bulbs which makes the back end look so much fresher and upgraded to a nice blaupunkt headunit which sounds amazing (cubby hole was in the post still!)

Cheeky mpg on a 44 mile motorway journey, very tempting to boot it though :grin:

Tyres needed changing so the skinnies had to go and were replaced with 225/45/17 Audi TT comps, check out the arch gaps :evil:

Up next were a few tweaks to the exterior in the form of a debadged grill and a colour coded sharan badge.

Won a Miltek decat pipe for £62 so had it fitted sharpish. Makes such a difference to the feel of the car and the turbo whistle has been replaced with an owl noise :laugh:
Also slip streaming a tanker at 50mph on a motorway for 18 miles i got this :nerd:
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll38/Munk3yRac3r/Mk4%20Golf%20GtTdi%20130%20Black%20Magic/build/DSC01524.jpg)
Ps. no i didnt cheat before you think it, decat has made it alot better on mpg but i doubt ill do it again as it was painfull staring at a tankers arse for that long!

Ok so havnt updated in here for quite a while so heres a bit more!
After my little Votex bargain rear splitter at £5 I spent £45 on Vw paint and sprayed it up. No pics at the moment as im on the wrong laptop. Buuuuut! This is where it gets better, on ebay i found a listing for a Vw golf kit so i thought id dig a bit deeper as the photos were rubbish!Turned out to be a full Votex kit (minus spoiler) with a kamei grill :smiley:
They arnt in the best of condition but hey ho im learning to bring trash to treasure quite well lol.
Will upload pictures when i get the chance whilst prepping them for painting.
On the other hand if your interested in a votex rear spoiler 1J0 071 610 in rough condition with flat section for exhaust (Two small cracks, old repair, broken clip, spider cracks in filler skim and a larger missing bit of filler where the car was bumped into a post) drop me a PM! I dont need it as ive just fitted my other one!
