decided to vinyl wrap the mirrors white as a friend does vinyl wrapping, also fitted a cd player, will be seeing if the steelies that came with it look good, then giving it a clean and vinyl wrap the back bumper where paint is missing, may consider chopping the back springs to get it lower as it's 60mm front 40mm back

As a Golf3 TDI owner I feel I can look down on you.

And it's lowered, so I actually can.

Sorry about your engine.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

It's not that you're getting old, it's that it won't pass an MOT that's the issue.  :grin:
