Erm,

Momo gear knob
Leather gaiter with chrome surround
replaced original Sony headunit + disc changer with better ones.

and that's it.

I decided to keep the original tax disc holder, i think it gives a more torque at the bottom end and smoother power delivery. ;D

16v badge for the grill since car didn't come with one..

Smoked Foglights
Smoked front indicators
Smoked blanking plate

already had smoked sides and rears


(pics of the above in  gallery soon..)

Clarion mp3 headunit..  2 x rockford fosgate subs in custom boxes - still have my boot space ;) alpine amp driving them.. (its mounted on rails inbetween)

since we're listing things that aren't mods..  ::)

new starter motor and coil, some oil, and new front disks and pads, a tyre... acorn air freshner in vanilla, magnetic tax disk holder and 1000s worth of optimax..lmao

coming soon.. umm..

trim clip for side trim thats coming away, have this its just not fitted (95p whut!)
fischer cd box thing, chromey gear surround
hunting for a decent gear stick, am fussy.
and a new aerial.. (not that i use the radio ever..)
need to emove some parts of my sub boxes, it came out of my polo and was shaped to fit a lip in the boot, it doesnt notice in the golf, but would sit flatter. also have a chunk of 1inch thick foam keeping it in place need to add a proper 'end' to the box to make it look less 'munged'

am working more on maintaining whats there well at the moment..


black strip across screen will look awful.. and i'm not a fan of smoked headlights (there are two styles.. though.. ones ok) , was tempted by mk4 ones..
