Cheers JV :)
Right I have a lot of catching up to as I got this car July 2011 and only just got round to starting a project thread now! :laugh:
It is a 53 plate, GT TDI 150, ARL Engine, LC9Z Black Magic paint code, and had 55000 miles on it when I got it :)
And basically standard.
So here's some pictures of it when I got it! :)

October 1st 2011.
Decided the brakes looked a bit bland so got the red paint out and spent a weekend giving them a good painting! :)

Then some Angel Eye headlights came up on ebay for good money so I grabbed them too!
Replaced all 20 sidelights with camera flash L.E.D's, this was the outcome!

Another Ebay bargain, this time a Simota Induction kit, got it for £40, retails more towards £200!
Got that fitted as soon as it arrived!

Missed this little beaut out! Oops!
Fitted a THS decat pipe, well worth the money!
Gets rid of the horrid cat, louder spool, less lag! Win, Win, Win.

Also fitted a Sportex oval back box, went for oval to be different, still not sure if I was keen.

April 7th 2012.
Got back from Belgium to be greeted with a set of coilovers!
Lows on a Golf is a must in my opinion!
None of this monster truck business anymore ;)

Firm ride, but well worth it!

Some time that I can't remember..haha
Realised I put Wind deflectors on at some point!
Cheap and easy mod, I like them!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img208/6493/20120519180503.jpg)
Then I took it upon myself to put a black suade headliner in!
With a couple of helpers, and three attempts down the line..

Time to change the front end!
Was tempted by an anni kit but in the end I just love the R32 look.
So here we go, the test fit! :)

Thanks to a certain forum member for the gear knob! Top notch! :)

Finally got round to fitting my under driveshaft arb and adjustable droplinks as I was sick of it rubbing!!
Pretty simple to do when your on a lift ;)
(http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9634/20130508142818.jpg)
Then I wondered what I was thinking putting those jap cannons on the back?! So off with the old and on with the new!!
Both fully functioning and a complete straight through system :)

Been a while since I've updated as its not the easiest to do on the iPhone :sick:
But anyways a lot has happened since!
I went down to Gti International with the Border City Vag bunch and had a cracking weekened! But firstly before heading down I got myself some R32 skirts and brand spanker bbs alloys, then sent everything down to the spray shop and this is the result!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img850/534/krml.jpg)
Also went to a photoshoot at some local grounds to take a few pictures, again with the Border City Vag group, heres one of many!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img19/2637/6hhw.jpg)
Bagged some pressed plates whilst at Inters and this is the only picture I have of it kind of:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img6/1410/5dex.jpg)
And finally I've had my engine bay and radio surrounds dipped the same colour as my wheels but with a carbon overlay :)

I have two questions regarding the stealing wheel:
1. Where did you get it from?
2. How much?!?!
-
1. Handmade from Poland.
2. Deep pocket. But so worth it..
