Another update for the golf managed to get a few things done ...first of all i have managed to replace some of the headlight bulbs just done the usual ..replaced the sidelights for led bulbs. Also changed the main beams for Lunex super yellow bulbs ..at the moment i have not changed the dipped beam but i have put my old hid kit on their for the moment but want to replace that with some led bulbs soon.  I have managed to replace the fog light bulbs for some  led items which are brilliant.

Last of all i picked a replica Votex front splitter a couple of weeks ago i really wanted a edition 30 one but i was not going to pay £300 for a new one its not the first time i have had a replica splitter i had an edition 30 one on my previous golf and for £130 i can't complain.  I do prefer this one to an edition 30 one.  Also decided i was going to try spray it myself i don't usually spray big items like this but i thought i'd give it a go and if i missed it up i would give it to a professional to sort out ..But to be fair i came out really well considering it came out of a couple of aerosol tins of paint...

So this has happened ....decided to remove my side skirts for painting and in the process remove the 13 years of dirt behind them . To be fair they came off quite easy its just the glue from the tape thats the pain and takes time apart from that its straight forward...

Also.. as you can see in the picture i now have a rear wiper delete .. unfortunately the wiper arm/motor had a split in it and water was going everywhere ..Thought about getting a new wiper motor for a split second. Then thought it would be nice deleting for a cleaner look..
