induction kit = 0 extra bhp tbh, and some noise.
-
first car aye?
-
I bet you haven't/won't be telling the insurance company about any of these "mods"? :P
-
Noobs eh? :rolleyes:
You could save up all those 50p spends & put them in your little piggy bank at home, then in a years time fork out for a GTi, or at least a car worth 'improving'?
Saying that, go have a look at LazyLunatic's thread, he's made his 1.4 look just as good as a GTi & despite a pretty chavvy start turned out a nice Golf! :afro:
-
I remember the days of paying stupid insurance!! and being vague in what i told them.... :lipsrsealed: (but i would where possible tell them whats being done as sometimes it has little affect on price you pay, but a big difference if anything happens ....in fact I pay less with all my mods declared than when it was standard!!)
try this link for mk3 pictures (not all gti's etc) and get some inspiration...http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=32871.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=32871.0) and have a look in the Classified section on here as theres allways someone breaking a gti/vr6 and swapping most trim over is simple!
-
My first thought would be seats/trim. Well done for buying a Golf and not a Tigra! :cool:
-
haha! u remembered :)
i'll get pics up off it soon (maybe tues)
-
Get a decent VR6 interior or gti. Much better seats :cool:
-
i'm pleased that one of the existing mods is white flashing indicators... would be a bummer if they didn't flash!
disco lights would be good... perhaps some neon strips on the undersills too? :afro:
ps. well done for opting for a golf
-
gti interior off ebay, and if you wait/look carefully you'll get it very cheap.
badgeless grill, slammed and a smart set of bbs 15/16's should do it.
btw, wise choice on the 1.6 instead of 1.4, has little bit extra! lol
i remember the last thread, turned out to be a bit of a mess really, lol!
just make sure you listen and stay dub - no chav! you are kinda starting out like me, small engined golf, with a hint of chav. as eightyeightmph (legend) said check my thread and look at the before and after pics that he posted - :cool: i didnt even realise it had changed that much!
LL ;)
ps lol Guy!!!
-
Or you could bite the bullet and get a GTI like I am next week :D
-
Oooh dint no you were getting a gti shady? You found one then.. will be looking forward to seeing the pics!
-
Yeah man, getting it next weekend :D
I actually can't wait, it looks the shizzle already so there's not much I need to do to it tbh. But you'll all have to wait and see pics and what it is until next weekend after she's been collected and had a good clean :evil:
-
Good man.. i hope its blue and 3 door :wink:
-
All I'm saying is it's a 3 door ;)
-
Good man.. i hope its not another mk3
