MK5 refresh.
« on: April 22, 2017, 05:23:21 pm »
I've decided to have my golf tidied up and some parts replaced, starting with:

Both front wings, they have the usual corrosion. Where's the cheapest place to buy wings that fit well? Also looking to have the front bumper, Bonnet and front wings painted in tornado red, whats a reasonable price exc any parts to have these painted?

Suspension, there's a knocking noise coming from the front left. It knocks over light bumps, almost sounds like a clicking noise. Possibly ARB drop links?

Also under acceleration the cars pulls to the right, when i come off the gas it steers straight again, possibly a worn front bush? I know alignment needs done as the steering sitting off centre..

Any other parts I should look at repalcing? Currently has WALK, polybushed transmission mount, Eibach Pro, polybushed rear toe adjusters and that's about it!
