Title: Mattyg127's MK4 SE TDI PD100
Post by: mattyg127 on 04 June 2011, 18:12

well i upgraded from the mk3 to a mk4

its a 2002 mk4 Golf SE TDI 1.9 PD100, planning on keeping it standard untill i save up for decent coilovers, BBS ch's, milltek and a remap  :evil:

very surprised about how quick it is for only being the 100bhp model bags of torque though!

yeh only reason there on is snapped the locking wheel nut on the original alloys and foooked one trying to get it off so chucked these on for the mean time,

i have a set of 16" tt comp  alloys i might just chuck on untill i can afford the new alloys though

Looks alright that.  Nice find. Wheels will really sort it out.

Looks better on them... i'd say get your suspension first then as it would look fine on these while you save up for your wheels, nothing worse than getting your dream wheels and then not being able to sort the ride height out on them.

That was the plan as i'll have changed my mind on which alloys i want by the time i get. I will be getting coilovers either way so makes more sense to get them first.

anyone had any experiences with the Weitec Hicon GT coilovers? seem a decent price at 400

Paint looks great.. will look great when lower, even if you don't change wheels.
