UPDATE TIME! *Audience cheers* So been a while since I have updated been busy doing the one cosmetic mod I think all MK IV owners should do and that is the MK V boot latch mod. I didnt intend on doing this mod the opportunity just became available. Basically my good friend had a rear end shunt...

As said connect to the new computer via USB to SATA and transfer data. Although this is a bit hit and miss as if the hard drive is corrupted Windows will ask you to format it which you don't want.

Get well soon mate! Beauty of buying back is to get it back cheap and with your settlement fee by the next toy and start modding!

Cars not starting now and its the first time I have started it since removing the boot lid (been sent to a body shop for some work) I don't know for sure if its the boot and the likely answer is to just try connecting the boot again and I will when I get it back. Just interested to know if...

Lucky guys my insurance is stupid expensive gone down now after 3 years no claims but still going up as I am moving on in power

Yeah got the 75bhp one so not the worst. Moving to my 240bhp GTi soon so that should be fun. I assume you're still in your first year of driving what was your insurance like? black box? I paid £3k for mine for first year with black box in 2013

I'd love mine more if it had a 1.6 110bhp or something right? deffo need that. A lot of people say you wont notice the difference coming from 1.2 to 1.6 but my god you do. Brembo uprated discs and pads make a huge difference. I went down the coilover route because lows and it allows you to go...

In terms of ICE I am in it for the crisp clean audio. I have been through the 'take your back seats out, put 2 speakers as big as the car and put immense power through them' phase. I have matured onto getting the highest sound quality as possible, the sub box in wheel well was handy because I...

I was practicing some camera techniques using my iPhone and edited together this little clip of the car. Came out pretty good considering I filmed for 30 mins on a friday evening with 6% battery life.

@D4nny unfortunately the insurance of clio 172 and 182 is insanely stupid money in my current situation. 200 is affordable but I'll see later about getting one (after a storm grey one). Will deffo have a 182 track car in the future but for now I to drive something more powerful as I feel the...

(My entry, car: my first car) You can never forget your first.. The learning curve, the experiences, my first trackday, my first accident, my first speeding ticket through the good all the way to the blue flashing lights we had been through it all.. She found me, she was sad, broken, dirty and I...

The cars days as it stands (before it gets put back to stock) are numbered so will be posting the best of, to remember her. My awesome first car :cry: First throwback CS 2015 my first track day: Got one more to follow (my profile pic one) as that's my favourite that was taken on the day...

Thanks guys for the advice/recommendation. I have fibre glass polyester filler to bridge and P38 filler for smoothing.

Can't its to big Process and pics when completed will be on the build thread for my mk4 GTi http://www.cliosport.net/threads/my-mk4-golf-gti.790252/#post-11072170 :)

Thanks! So am I right in thinking (I already have fibre glass) just get some resin, hardener, p40 and then mix them together?

Basically doing a mod on my GTi tailgate with the latching system from the newer MK5+ golfs. In the process of getting it aligned for welding I did cut too far on the left hand side. The welding is complete (welded on backside) although I have a large gap now on the left hand side. How should I...

Carbon fiber completed looks good. I did a fade effect so its glossy at the bottom but not at the top. The picture doesnt do it justice.

Paint protection film PPF is golden. Detail your car to perfection! Apply it and then it doesn't matter how you wash it it will come out like new every time. It also protects against stone chips and key marks although it is fairly expensive but affordable if you do it yourself.

I will be attempting my own refurb and I can say its all in the prep. Alloy filler is good to use for scuffs and gutter rash. My concern with spraying the wheels was baking them. I mean you could easily leave them for a week to dry but baking them makes the paint more durable (less susceptible...

My mate had candy RED on his civic it stood out but it sorta worked. I'd say midnight purple or something with a lot of gloss to it. To light of a purple won't look right. Maybe Cadbury colour? Do the brakes off white would be an interesting colour combo.

Yeah that's what I got TA Technix. Handle pretty well hard as a rock. The ride quality will depend one what type of road your driving on. If its smooth It will feel fine if not then say good bye to your back. It improved cornering so much no body roll at all. Shooting through roundabouts is a...

Nice car mate check my profile (cover photo) out as we have similar colour cars (mines cherry not flame red) Might give you some ideas as I didn't go down the 17 yr old chav route.

Personally I don't think this would sell for anything worth my while hence the giving it to her and her giving it back to me. I got a mk4 golf GTi sitting in the garage waiting to be used. Its time for a change mainly because of power. I'll be going from 75hp to 230bhp or something so should be...

There's no harm improving the steering feel of your car even if its for road use. I'd say get them but I am not to sure on eBay ones

So my mates dad owns a renault shop and is clearing stock. He's had it for 40+ years now Found these today although they are singles not in a full set. Anyone know the names? I forgot to check the boxes but I love the turbine style one and the polished one. They maybe for sale if anyones...

I planned on keeping this car forever.. oh how plans change. Putting it back to stock in July to give to a friend of mine for her to use as her first car. It will eventully return back to me give it a couple years and I will see it some days. Don't want it going to some 17 old boy racer whos...

Having gone with carbon fibre interior accents I also pondered with the idea of spraying the wrap in gloss to give it that gloss carbon mclaren look. Needless to say I failed but it does/doesn't look that bad. Most of the CS lot would not approve of the carbon and would say gloss black well with...

Also decided that the trim might aswell be refurbished: [/URL][/IMG] Where it stands: Because I'am maddeningly in consistent here's a pic of the new dials I picked up for the Golf. Being from 1999 it does feel dated but these bring it up a little bit.
