Maybe a part leather re-trim of the seat bolsters

After the LED's my next change is the sound system, i am very disapointed with the standard sound quality.  I will look through the forums for some ideas soon I think

Am still not sure, I always crave more power but not sure what else I can really do as I am kind of maxed out as it is without going and changing the turbo whick means ££££  :sick: and she wouldnt be happy about that  :rolleyes:

Maybe new wheels for me? Anyone want to sell me a set of 19" BBS Cks, Golf R Talladega or even the 19" VWR Alloys that they dont sell anymore!  :sad:

1. Well these arrived last night.... so Golf R LED tail lights are next for me :cool:



2. Upgrade the front headlight bulbs

3. Somehow retro-fit some LED DRL's.... i.e. as pic below



4. LED Number plate light

5. New tyres for spring ( not exactly a mod )

6. Set of BBS CH alloys 18" in anthracite ( only if I can find a reasonably priced second hand set ) or twist Exonian's arm to sell me his BBS CK's

7. Private Number Plates

8. Divorce ( as the wifes getting pee'd off with the amount of money I'm spending on the car )   :tongue::evil:

9. Buy a Ford  :evil:

I will put petrol in it, check the oil...and put the VWR wheels back on in a few months. That's it.

Pointless chasing more power...just buy a faster car.

I shall probably spend plenty on the Mk3 though...

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.
