I'm a newbie and just wanna say hi...
« on: 25 July 2011, 11:30 »
Hi all...
I recently purchased a MK4 1,4 VW and i', in love  :laugh: I wanted a GTI but because of my age and because i,ve only been driving for 2 years insurance companies didn't wanna know so i,ve started small but i'm thinking of bigger things for the future... I deceided it would be a good idea to become a member on here because i've already started to do little jobs on my girl to make her look sweet... She has TTRS alloys that previously belonged to my fella who drives a very fast and highly modified Mk1 TT I sanded and resprayed them and they look fab... I also bought some Recaro seats 2 weeks ago and i'm about to attempt to fit them today as its the first free day i've had... Just read up on a post on here and it mostly sounds simple apart from the disconnecting of the airbag but i'm sure it won't present me with too many problems... Anyway i look forward to having a good nosey at some of the mods and write ups on here and hope i'll get some good ideas on what else i can spend my hard earned cash on :grin: :grin: :grin:

Well this is my girl......



She isn't the GTI i wanted originally but i totally fell in love with her especially once i'd fitted her new shoes  :wink:

And the seats are now fitted and i must say they are incredably comfortable...



The job turnrd out to be quite tricky as the connection for the airbag under the seat is a little different to the one on my old seats and therefore i'm gonna have to wire the old connection upto the new seat but thats a job for tomorrow i think... I may even let the brains in the house handle that one, I wouldn't wanna break anything  :rolleyes:

I'll have a go when making any future alterations... I'm really starting to get the bug for tinkering  :smiley:
