Here she is................mk4 gti
« on: 11 December 2009, 17:34 »
Here she is the mk4 Gti I bought for my wife to use for work last Sunday, unfortunately after driving it home I decided to keep it for myself, she’s now got a ford focus diesel to go to work in.........

It’s my 4th Gti but the first one for about 17 years.............
It’s a 2001 on a Y plate with 120,000 miles on the clock.........It had a full service and mot in August this year then parked up, before I picked it up on Sunday it had done just over 20 miles since the mot........
6000 miles ago it had an engine rebuild costing just under £1000 plus new turbo, starter motor, coil packs, titanium plugs, clutch and re-mapped to 200+bhp.

The plan is to keep it looking like a standard Golf Gti, I personally like the alloys that are on it so will not be changing them, the only thing I would like to do on the exterior is possibly add one of those small tail gate spoilers....

The interior is also in pretty good condition so not much to do other that give it a good clean, in time if one came up I could be very tempted with a black leather interior........













The engine looks and is standard apart from the re-map, would love to get some suggestions on what I could do with it..........







Here are the few minor body work issues that I need to get sorted in the new year........







I found this in the boot and have no idea where it goes...lol

That bit is for the front part or the undertray. Thats should just clip on but its not essential. Just keeps the engine that bit cleaner and helps air flow.
Love the fact you got it for the other hafe and kept it  :grin:. Classic  :cool:
Congratulations mate and welcome the the MK4 Golf club  :smiley:

Looks nice.  Keep it subtle.

Plastic panel (in the boot) fits under engine to stop road guff and reduce noise coming up.  Clips to back of bumper below radiators.  Just needs a few screws to fit back on: N90775001

Ended up paying £1900..... I looked at some pretty terrible ones that were up for a lot more than I paid for this..

Yes, the previous owners wife scraped the gate reversing off the drive......its a little duller than the rest but I think with a bit of effort I can get it something like.......failing that when I have the knocks on the bumper done i`ll have it sprayed again...
