Post by: daan on 22 May 2008, 15:18: Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. This is a great forum with lots of great pointers and advice. I bought my second GTi on Tuesday and I love it.

I will upload some pics soon.

Cheers

What difference does having an imageshack account make? Where do you all upload your pics from?

I'm not real flashy when it comes to mods. I hate all the ned cars that have been overdone. I have just paid a fair wack for it so modding will be out of the question for a wee while. I eventually may get a set of s3/s4 wheels and maybe get some bumpers and skirts. Thats probably all I would do. I like the look of a nice single pipe coming out form the bumper but I'm not to keen on noise. I like to attract attention for all the right reasons.

Post by: GTi-Matt on 22 May 2008, 17:34: are you gonna go for anni skirts and bumpers then? id go for the miltek with the anni style exhaust to (miltek arent loud just right) s3 wheels look the nuts to mate, defo look through the mods under Ã‚£100 section mate loadsa bargains in there mate :afro: aero wipers is a must :afro:

most of us use photobucket to upload pics :afro:
Title: Re: Newbie Golf Gti Owner
Post by: daan on 22 May 2008, 21:50: Yeah I do like how the Anni looks, not sure what I will do. These mods cost a fair bit so I will see how it pans out. I'm just enjoying the car at the moment. I had an Alpha 147 which was 120bhp. The Golf really is a great deal more powerful which I'm loving.

Post by: AlanD on 23 May 2008, 08:20: Welcome, looks very tidy :)

Def get a new front spliter and rear valance (or just colour code it), makes the MK4 look a million times better and is a pretty simple mod.

BTW I second that tRopher is a misserable cvnt. :grin:

Post by: daan on 23 May 2008, 11:45: I'm happy with the power the car is putting out to be honest. I fancy the anni skirts and rear and front valances. Can any of you tell me what model my alloys are. I'm gonna sell them with tyres etc to try and raise some cash from a set of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cars-Parts-Vehicles_Car-Wheels-Tyres-Rims__18-ALLOY-WHEELS-AUDI-TT-A3-S3-225-40-18-TYRES_W0QQitemZ120262947312QQddnZCarsQ2cQ20PartsQ20Q26Q20VehiclesQQadnZCarQ20WheelsQ2cQ20TyresQ20Q26Q20RimsQQddiZ3783QQadiZ4936QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item120262947312&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
