Hi
my name is shaun actually been on here for about a year so thought it was about time I did a brief readers ride on my golf .
brought the car from my local dealer just under a year ago decent mileage and condition so the price was right and I was happy
took it straight home and gave it a proper wash , the only negative about the last owner his up keep wasn't the best lol
keep it nice and clean for a good few months added a few nice touches to the inside .
only little but just gives it that bit of freshness.
after a few months of saving a came across some practically new coilovers for sale on been on a friend of mines car for 3 months from new
and he was splitting his golf parts for a new project so I snapped the up .
KW V1's
then set about fitting them to the car although it was still on the standard wheels and big tyres I couldn't wait so we fitted them and was much happier with how the car looked .
once we lowered the car the following week I took the car to my brother and dads unit "the spray shop " were he gave the car full job (wash , clay , wash polish , machine and seal )
very happy with what my bro did
Next stop was a exhaust upgrade so I popped up to " exhaust uk " in Sheffield just went for a subtle twin car back vewry impressed sounds awesome but not to loud just right .
after eventually getting the car back to a clean state that I was happy with and it been lowered naturally the standard wheels needed to be replaced so these came along
Mercedes al[phards fronts 8.5 rears 9.5
had all four wheel centers re-polished and sealed and 4 new tyres and fitted to the car oncve the weather improved early this year
this is how it looked .
to say I was happy was a understatement coilovers still had plenty of room to come down front and back but I was happy a the height for now so the car pretty much stayed that way up until recently when me and a load of friends were making the trip to Holland to the car show M.I.V.W so I decided to tidy the brake calipers and lower the car some more ready for the trip .
BEFORE
AFTER
nothing special just a rub down quick primer couple of coats of bright red job done looked 100% better lowered the car on the fronts some more and the rears gave it one last clean before heading off .
Last clean
couple of pics at the show
random petrol sation in Belgium my favourite picture
so that's pretty much where my car is right now and I am loving every min I have a list as long as my arm of things I want to but it just depends which direction I take the car in either watch this space hope you all like ( sorry and the amount of pictures
).
