Hi all
Not much has happened lately to the car, I'm still enjoying being a mk5 owner. Decided to give her a good clean today and get some nattys wax on and rim wax ready for the winter months.



Tucked up in bed.





Decided to put a mk4 chrome rear badge on also. Back to sleeper mode.

Thanks for looking.

I've put a deposit on the laser blue one I linked in my thread, looks cleaner in real life inside and out and so smooth to drive, went for my clutch a few times though  :doh:, and I got him to put the bbs vz 18s on off another golf, just trying to sort out selling my ST back to the garage I bought it off, saw him Sunday and he wanted to buy it there and then but now I can't get him to answer texts.

I need the cash to buy the golf

Lovely looking car fella.

I will be keeping an eye on this thread for inspiration as i have a 05 so things like the rear badge you've done will be the same on mine  :smiley:
Plus i have been looking for a good vag specialist in essex and had not even heard of sani's motors so i will give them a call on some work i want done  :happy2:

Cheers mate, it's been a fun project. 
There's always things I want, bigger brakes, some nasty rust appearing that needs sorting. Other than that I hope I'm done. But then there's always ko4 !!

Hey Dr.
Is ther a little sensor or meter that sticks out on your AC compressor
that now sits so close to the Radiator that even an electric fan will not fit there?

Thanks for the kind comment mate. I have considered it but not yet got round to it.

Do you have a thread? I'd love to see yours.  :happy2:
