Here she is:
That's right, she's a beaut - Bought in lockdown when I no longer needed a new car that would certainly get me from A-B every day, whilst I settled into my work from home cave, i explored the mid-00's hot hatches, between this and a CTR, i happened to find this example from a family friend, full VW service history and well loved from a part time brit, 2 months of the year here, 10 in god knows where. Anyway, i feel like it's a good'un.
What have I done in the first 3 months?
- Replaced all brake discs and pads
- Replaced a door lock module
- Just managed to deal with zero A/C whilst the summer died away
- Added some A4 Exhaust Tips
- Broke both transponders in my keys trying to make the cases look good (that was a nice £120 "cheap job")
- Various touch-ups
What's to come?
- Get it a little lower
- Change all the tyres to something a little more, uh premium and stickier.. (sunrise, pingpong, phoenix and scatman on each corner, or names to that effect anyway)
- Then change the headunit for something a little more, bluetooth'y
And no idea what else next, it's basically a second car that i can mess around with a little, but still need to appear like I've got a toddler and turn up to rugby-tots without a loud exhaust.. So we shall see! Probably a remap at some stage.. and maybe some other cool stuff?
You all seem like a decent bunch, i've enjoyed lurking so far - and will add my 2 Pence if i find somewhere to say it, and will absolutely take all the advice out there?
Finally, can anyone guess where I took the photo?
