Cheers Jv

Well took the plunge and bought my first derv!
After the painful few minutes of parting with a few £k's I drove home and wow did it make me smile!
 
Mk4 Gt Tdi130
53 Plate (2004)
Black Magic 3dr
54,000 miles
Climate control
6 speed

May be a slow progress on a budget!
Any way less of the talk and time for some photos!

So then it was onto the deep clean, change plates and de-wiper:
Jetwash, shampoo, jetwash, shampoo, jetwash, clay bar, jetwash, polish, dodo juice wax  :laugh:
Enjoy some black magic shinyness!










Reflection  :cool:

Well this got delivered and i was eager to try carbon wrapping out, one bloody finger later and it was done. Also fitted led reg plate bulbs which makes the back end look so much fresher and upgraded to a nice blaupunkt headunit which sounds amazing (cubby hole was in the post still!)




Cheeky mpg on a 44 mile motorway journey, very tempting to boot it though  :grin:

Tyres needed changing so the skinnies had to go and were replaced with 225/45/17 Audi TT comps, check out the arch gaps  :evil:

Up next were a few tweaks to the exterior in the form of a debadged grill and a colour coded sharan badge.
