Looks sweet mate. Pity about the throttle. I would paint it :evil:

Black would hide it as it stands out. Looks good and clean. Shame it was not smoothed properly .

Also you could have got a gas flowing / porting kit. I loved making the inlet mainifold match the head and gas flow it, only cheap just need a drimmel and a extension and smooth the inlet ports out.

you can take away some of the metal so the gasses flow from manifold to head freely rather than hitting a step. You've got to be careful not to make the ports too shiny though as the fuel can stick to the sides and also the rough casting creates a bit of turbulence which helps the mix

Looks brilliant mate, I'm more than a little jealous!

Every time I consider spending money on treating the golf to something nice, the damn thing breaks down and drains all the money I had saved up.
I thought Volkswagens were supposed to be reliable?
