Finally got it!
« on: 16 February 2008, 13:32 »
Finally after loads of messing about.

1994 Volkswagen Golf MK3 1.4 - Maroon

Im focusing on cosmetic at the minute.

With it being a 1994 its got greyish bumpers front and back. need some advice between getting them Kiwi'd haha or Colour coded and if anyone can give me some tips on colour coding.

Iv decided im going to get a De-badged grill and maybe some Coilovers if i have the money and a VR6 spoiler on the back.

Can anyone think of anything else i can add?

Ill add pics to this post later on.

Thanks.

Milage is a shame the old beauty has coverd 122K  :tongue:

Yea only downside to Coilovers is the price but yea prob will in the very near future.

Mods anywhere to be honest, inside, out front or back.

All suggestions welcome.

yeah 122k isnt much..the engines will last at least 200k with proper servicing
and coilover will be about £180 and thats as cheap as a suspension kit

if you want to keep the bumpers black use the kiwi... if you really want coded bumpers give painting ago.. but use some plastic primer or the paint will peel fast!!
