My names Tom aged 20 and i have just managed to get my hands on a MK4 1.8T GTI which i am picking up this friday :grin: As i dont no too much about the cars i can see myself spending many hours browsing through the forum, probably on an everyday basis lol!!
I plan on putting together a little porfolio of my golf as she evolves from the stadard car into my personal love :drool: so will have to post it up when i get it finished =)
Anyway ill stop going on now and just say Great site and am very happy to be a part of it!!

What you got planned for it mate?
-
Well its dead standard at the moment but ive got a few thing i am going to do to it over time including some of the following:
Lowered 20 or 40 mm on 18's (what do you guys think as far as how low and what wheels to get? i much prefer stylish to chavy)
Front mounted intercooler, induction kit, panel filter
Im going to take her up to R-tech to have a re-map
Some internal changes, vents, gear / handbrake gaitors, get rid of the wood effect =)
HID's and a badgeless front grill, tint the windows out, maybe put the r32 bumpers / exhaust on , unsure yet.
Once thats all done then have a look and see what else i want doing. I dont want to go over the top, just make it my own kind of thing =)

BBS wheels look the nuts but aint cheap. You can go 40mm on 18's but may need upratted anti roll bars. Miltek are definatly the way to go for exhausts. I had the Forge turbo pipe fitted a couple of weeks ago made a big improvement. :cool:

About £340 for a cat back mate few different tail pipe options. Anniversary single outlet, twin jet which you will either need the 4 motion lower rear valence or trim the rear bumper or discreet which is hidden. Then you can get turbo down pipe or even get a sport cat at a later date. :cool:

cheers mate. ill have to be taking a trip to good old youtube to check out what sound they make :wink: then splash out. i think first off im going to change the wheels as having a standard noisy car just wouldnt look right haha!
Have you got shot of the wooden effect inside yours? I was going to just spray mine black, rekon this is a good idea?

Personally I dont actually mind it at the moment the woods quite dark on mine prob will change it later. You can actually buy the bits to change it over saves spraying it and im not sure how long the paint will look good for. :smiley:

Well a friend of mine owns a bodyshop so could get it sprayed there properly. Where could i get hold of the parts to change it if i go against spraying? depends how brave i am lol!
