Poly bushes now in rear end  :cool:  No more very loud clonk when going over bumps  :evil:

Decided i wanted to change the look of my boot so i shaved the GOLF GTI badges.. bought a black VW badge and fitted a Boot extension  :cool:

Update time  :cool:

Was unhappy with how the extension looked with the boot handle and small lip  :rolleyes:

So i'v decided i want a clean smooth look  :cool:

And now for the finished boot  :cool:

Then i got decided i wanted to go lower so i bought a set of 35mm sport springs and at the same time i bought a different grille  :evil:

Kamei Front Grille
Lowerd 35mm

I then decided i wanted my bonnet and wings painted as there were to many stone chips and scratches for my liking   :cry:

So i thought if i'm going to do this i might as well fill the bonnet recess also  :cool:
