Yep, he did that with mine  :sad: thought mine was clean and then he would turn up in his, even the old white one was really clean.

well.... after much thought and if it would look good etc etc i went with a vento front end! a lot of people will hate and alot of people will love! really thought i was gonna regret it up until i picked her up today and love it! really got her how i wanted her and hope pictures do it justice!? you need to see it in the flesh tho as it looks awesome and the paint work is out of this world!!



started off as a mint standard 55k mk3 golf.... and thats ho i was gonna keep her until that is i started going to shows etc..! started off with just few simple things, black badges and fog lights. then managed to get hold of genuine anni smoked fogs, blanks and indicators. after that came FK coilovers with a 45mm drop all round, soooo much better!  :smiley:

After getting the camber sorted it was wheel search! man what a pain and after picking D90's it was two trips to Manchester, the TNT from Manchester, a trip to Nottingham and 2 VR6 splitters later i had a set of D90's sat in front of me! lots of phone calls later i was told refurb £55 + vat a wheel! but could increase!  :sick: so a mate of a mate said he could do it £30 a wheel job done! mint, i'll go for that.......



two months later and still not a great job i get them back and fitted to car with £185 spacers £100 centre caps and £252 195 45 r16 tyres for a tiny bit of stretch....



then the vento front end. . early spec grill redone in black. . meatal strip redone in flash red, dark blue bonnet with a few nasty dings redone in flash red! plus brand new headlights!! also scuff tanken out of front bumper. . perfect now!



enjoy!
