Thanks dude, I saw them on a mk2 golf on a picture on edition38 and just had to get them!

Just got this pm from the deputy editor of golf+ magazine when I logged into edition38

Hi there,

Would you mind if we used a couple of photos of your Mk4 1.8T swap for our IN Progress section of the GOLF+ magazine news pages? Every month we normally run a couple of pictures of someone's project as it's making progress and your 1.4 to 1.8T certainly sounds like an interesting venture. If you're into the idea I can probably pinch a couple of photos from your build thread and use a few of the details you've posted to knock together some words (only around 50 unfortunately) for our readers to have a butchers at.

Let me know what you reckon

Cheers

Pm'd him back and said no problem at all and asked about a full feature when the car is completely done  8)[/quote]

Thanks dude! Got to drop the front though, the lack of stance is getting on my nerves. Shots like these are making all the grief worth it! I love the fact that I joined up whilst the conversion was under way too, you guys have seen it from nothing to this  :smiley:
