Title: Newbie
Post by: Cliff on 28 October 2006, 17:24: Hi people
I am now the proud owner of a 1999 1.8 Mk4 Golf Gti Turbo. It is Silver with 83k on the clock, full Recaro interior and I have put a nice set of 18" RS4's on already and am planning on lowering it some time soon. It has the be the best car I've owned so far, so compfy to drive and it's glued to the road. I do have some modifications planned, but saving the money is the hard bit. And everytime I save up some money to do something something else happens, like today for instance. I am planning my boot install so have been working out how big the sub boxes have to be for the subs I have. Once I had worked it all out I took a trip to B&Q to get some wood, spent the last little bit that was in my wallet to get the wood, and when I get home I've got a puncture. Not impressed :cry:
Anyway I would like to fit a Neodesign bodykit, and lower it and hopefully that will be it exterior wise. Then maybe a year or so I would like a remap and start on the engine bay properly.
My name is Sam but my Nickname is Cliff, 25 years old from the Isle of Wight, think that's about it really, and below is a pic of my car so far, andne got any suggestions on lowering etc?

Kind regards Cliff :laugh:

Post by: Cliff on 01 November 2006, 12:05: Hi guys, yeah well the Cliff story. It happened a long time ago in Portugal, I managed to slip off the edge of a Cliff and grab onto the edge, I cut my self up a little but I managed to survive to tell the tale. So the nickname has kinda stuck since middle school.

Wazzzzer how's you mate, haven't seen you in a long long time, never knew you were a VDUB man now mate, and Clayton yeah I'm not too bad cheers mate, haven't seen you for a while, you back on the island now then?
Speak to you all soon :laugh:

Post by: Wazzzer on 01 November 2006, 15:18: yes mate I got mine a couple of weeks ago but I still had the Escort so I put it away up the missus mums

Escort is gone now though so I can start afresh on the Golf, just needed something newer and this popped up from a guy at work so I couldn't say no!

Post by: Cliff on 04 November 2006, 08:51: Cool, that's where my old chap lives, nice houses up there mate. I think Coley lives up there now too. Me and Jayne are always looking to move now, but what witht he weddign comming up don't think we can really afford it at the moment. Either of you know any good bodyshop people? I need my passenger door fixed, there is a few scrapes and one dent in it, and it anoys the hell out of me, luckily it's the passenger side so I don't see it too much. The best quote so far was AB Cooke, Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£160. Ideally I need someone to drive into me and get it done on their insurance that would be cool. lol
Anyway off up me dad's now to carry on with my boot install, so peake to you both laters :laugh:
