I've just purchased a rear spoiler for my baby, comes primed too.  So I'll just need to get it sprayed diamond black  :laugh:  Does anyone know how easy it is the bolt one of these one?

Thin thay are bonded on  :huh:
the bloke said you can bond or bolt it onto the car.  I'm happy to bond it on, if someone has a recommendation? :)

Ok guys, I've set myself a target, to try to get as close to 224bhp as I can get.  Is it going to be do-able without spending a huge fortune?

Well you see my dad's Mondeo ST is 224bhp.  I strongly believe that if I can get my Golf close to that, it'll actually be faster due to the extra weight of his car :)

That sounds like a great idea! Your Golf should always beat him on handling regardless of what mods you choose.

Don't forget to possibly upgrade your brakes... I put Black Diamond discs and Track pads on mine... Nice and grippy. Useful for my GTi which doesn't have ASR or ESP  :wink:
