Stayed standard for about 2 weeks whilst I looked for parts
And got myself some R32 alloys And fitted the same night in my hotel car park (got some strange looks)

was getting bored with the car and put her up for sale then changed my mind and keeping her :)
so time to change a few things
Dazvw was looking for some different alloys and offered me a swap for his nearly refurbed rs6 alloys so we went about having a swap shop session :)
(http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o108/balderz_photos/b1cc9965.jpg)
as i had the alloys off and car in the air thought i would paint my calipers yellow think it works with the green and the gunmeatal
and also fitted my seat coupe splitter :) finishes the front end of nicely
-
Well as i have a week off work i thought it would be best to give the car a wash and get some new pics with the new alloys

Small update
Had the golf booked in for service whilst I was away in Florida but on the day I was taking it in the clutch started to slip so I asked if the garage could replace the clutch and flywheel as well
so returned yesterday and went to pick golf straight after I dropped the girlfriend off
I have had new clutch and flywheel fitted
bottom arms replaced as 1 was knocked
Blow on my exhaust fixed
cambelt and water pump replace
Oil changed and engine flushed
oil filter
pollen filter
So thought wicked car should be sweet to drive so set off with smile on face :)
got 4 miles down road and management light started to flash and car started to limp so drove back to garage and plugged it found no ignition in no1 so pulled the coilpack and spark plugs and there looked like had seen better days so though best check rest of them only to find no4 plug was same and other 2 not the best either so decided to replace all 4 plugs and coil packs at same time No point doing 1/2 a job
Car now runs a dream and I can tell the difference so now I might stop looking at selling lol and enjoy the golf again :)
£800 well spent :( lol

Well time to update
I managed to find a R32 style exhaust that had been custom made on eBay at a good price and not to far away (Blackpool )
So picked it up and tried finding a place in Blackpool to fit it after trying 3 places I gave up the mission :( and headed back to Buxton, and nipped into to see at mate at new mills who fitted it for me :D I was happy with how it sounded but is didn't sit right :o so I took it to Martin at Selcta tyres who made a couple of custom hangers for it and tweaked a few things :D
So today went out on the bike and thought I would the car and bike a quick clean
