I’ve recently bought myself another Golf GTi; having owned a DSG previously I’ve gone for a good spec, low owner and good history manual this time. Full leather, Pro Nav, Dynaudio, Climate windscreen and a mere 28k miles.
I’ve then given it a few additions - Racingline springs, door graphics...
So decided to make a few changes to the Liquid... have been hunting high and low for 2118's for months, rare as hen's teeth on the used market so used a contact of ours and got a good deal on them in the end :approve:
Also opted for a bit of strippage - Recaro's made the the rear seats...
So I took the 182 off for a couple of additions yesterday to Fred@BTM... results speak for themselves but top work all round :)
Recaro Trendlines, Trophy Speedlines, Prospeed exhaust, Coilovers and a 197 Steering wheel... couple of final little touches needed to get it finished in our eyes...
Well, after chopping and changing cars a fair bit in the last 3 years, I have ended up pretty much where I began!
182 Trophy to an R27 (via a PH1 172 as an interim car) onto a Golf Anniversary, before seeing sense and getting back into something fun in the form of an S2000 and then into a...
More photo whoring i'm afraid ;)
Nothing new to the car, just a clean and making the most of the start of autumn to take some different pictures :)
Some shots are very similar :o but i liked them and think these were the best of the many i took whilst playing with the...
So, today we set about cleaning my sister's Dooper. 11 months old and shamefully neglected - rarely washed and definitely not seen any polish since it left the dealers.
Full process was Wash, Clay, Meguiars Stage 1 Paint Cleanse, Autoglym Super Resin Polish and finished with Autoglym Extra...
So after nearly 5,000 miles since i've had the car I have effectively made a downgrade and replaced the shiny look at me 18's for a set of 17's. The car might have lost some of it's specialness in the looks department now but it has gained massively in the handling department and made the car so...
So to cut a long story short, I found my work circumstances suddenly changed, my mileage to and from work doubled and i was quickly racking up miles on the S2000. After a cheeky advert on pistonheads, I got an offer that was too good to refuse on the S2000 so I sold it a few months earlier than...
With the sun shining this morning and forecast to shine all weekend, it was enough of an incentive to clean the car and get the hardtop off (even if it is going back on after the weekend).
Awesome afternoon of getting to know the car better around a few of my favourite roads followed by a...
Just a few pictures of my Anniversary... have been driving past this autumn scenery all week and thought it'd make a good backdrop for a few fresh pictures of the car... just fitted US spec rear lights this week, otherwise nothing else has changed, some pictures are very similar but i liked them...
Spotted these two.... first one had a lot of K-Tec gear, almost like one of their old demo cars :
i'd love to live out there.... no road tax now, but fuel prices have gone up so you pay based on what you drive.... i likey that idea! :)
Got these from Adam at Shinyauto's... just a few quick pic's on the drive... will prob take a few more though where the neighbours can't see me and think i'm odd ;)
Check out the fleck pattern in the Recaro's - very funky!!
Sorry but couldn't stop laughing at you struggle with your turning circle as you were coming out the car park... :)
car looked great :approve:
think there was a CS sticker in the side window
Having found out recently that R27 number 286 (ours) and number 287 (mikeclio182's) were a mere 10 mins down the road from each other, we decided to get some pictures of them both together. Separated when they left France but now living almost within the same postal code!
Took...
