Well went a wee bit down the chav route here and got some red interior lights for the footwell
My mate handed them to me for free so thought may as well put them on

 
Gonna be selling this golf after winter as driving an automatics driving me INSANE!!!
its brutal, i initially just grabbed it as it was in good shape, but i now remember why i hate automatics
It doesnt change gears at the right times at all has no power cause when it downshifts its like it goes down 2 gears instead of one ! but anyways for now im only gonna do the little bits and bobs til i pick up a manual  :grin:

Well got my new exhaust, some stickers and my roof racks on the car AND a set of aftermarket fog lights too as the first update..
second we got some bad news, the 1.8 blew itself to pieces on the weekend, because the previous owner didnt change the oil often enough and the compression was bad the headgasket went, but i get the car back tommoorw with a new ""tweaked" 1.8L. It has new cams,new belts, new filters, new downpipes, which makes it a weee bitty nippier than the stock 1.8 but not by much.
Other than that, anyone know what bulb to put in behind the heater dials and stuff cause mine died and duno which bulb it is i need to buy, PM me if ya know  :grin:
