New MK4 Owner! :D
« on: 18 February 2008, 13:35 »
Howday!

My name is Andy and I've just signed the papers for a black 5 door 1.4 Golf MK4! Picking her up at 10am tomorrow and I canny wait. 51 plate and only 29k on the clock as well. In amazing condition! I'll try get some pics up tomorrow but might be wednesday hehe.

Not really planning any mods but I do fancy some Audi RS8 or MK5 R32 wheels (or at least replicas im not made of money :D) and perhaps some form of connecting the ipod to the car stereo? I've seen that an official VW connector can be bought but how good is it? Shall I just get a different head-unit?

Thanks

Andy

welcome to dodgy windows, random trim rattles, leaky washer jets, and all the other fun stuff that comes along with a mk4 :grin:

Nice one mate, and welcome!  I just bought a mk4 1999 Golf on Sunday, 24k on the clock!  How much did you pay?

£4991 which i dont think is that bad really considering the mileage and the year!

Also another question, if I did get some 17-18" wheels would it look tooooo daft if i didnt have it lowered or could I live? Lots of evil speed bumps on my daily drives.
