Title: My Euro'd Golf
Post by: benjgti2 on 19 December 2007, 12:36
I have been wanting this done since i bought the car... I need some wheels though! I need some suggestions on what wheels to buy.  Nothing too big or too  expensive....Also after a bonnet bra........

to be honest I aint really sure how its all done, had all the work done by AUTOWORX in cardiff, i got a 2 year gaurantee so if its going to crack(and i hope it doesnt) it'll do it within two years...

 :shocked:for the front bumper???????????
Title: Re: My Euro'd Golf
Post by: Ashmond on 20 December 2007, 17:07
Well the side strip been removed too, that needs welding and no doubt the back has been done too, the bonnet has also been done, but I do agree that does seem like a large amount. I paid £500 to smooth my rear bumper, blend the bottom splitter in, smooth my tailgate, paint (not remove) my side strips, do my bonnet and paint my wing mirror bases.

But it does look good mate I got to admit!

NO... front splitter merged in to bumper, same with the back... also had all the bumper strips taken off and filled, the aerial smoothed off, spoiler plastic welded to get rid or the gap for the aerial, boot completely smoothed, bonnet welded(gap for the badge) also filled the gap for the badge on the front bumper.....badge-less grille fitted and mk5 mirrors fitted.... Complete re-spray..... all done in 9working days..........

Any pictures of the back mate?

I think if you get yourself some wide wheels and get it slammed you're on to a winner  :smiley:

I'm not a fan of modified cars but it does look rather nice, some black alloys would suit it well. :)

Jesus that seems a bit steep for the bumber, ive seen whole r32 kits for that  :huh:
looking good though, what grill did you get? and does it have the infill bit for the bonnet or did you get
that done properly?
Title: Re: My Euro'd Golf
Post by: benjgti2 on 26 December 2007, 00:26
it wasn't just the front bumper! each individual exterior part has been changed... even the spoiler as been filled...  and the grille is a bonrath one! came with everything! but i suggest getting the bonnet welded! the infill looks a bit :sick:

Title: Re: My Euro'd Golf
Post by: benjgti2 on 27 December 2007, 17:34

like you say mate it defo needs the wheels, its gaggin for a nice set of black bbs's with chrome lips, shame the infill on your boot lid isnt smoothed in dude, very very nice ride though indeed
Title: Re: My Euro'd Golf
Post by: Neaty on 29 December 2007, 01:36
I am seriously loving that front end  :cool:

I defo think that black wheels would work best to sort of go with the grill and slats in the bumpers
