Liking the new bits especially the smoothed bumper. Something that I've wanted to do to mine for ages. I need to get an ed30 splitter first.

Nice looking motor! How easy was it to fit a GTI shifter?
Looking for some BBS CH/LM Reps to swap for my Classix plus cash your way:

thanks!  It was really easy, just be careful not scratch the ashtray surround when removing

sticking with a normal bumper for now...as the smoothed one requires some work and I have too much on at the mo to sort it.  Thanks for the kind comments though.

Thanks! ☺ I agree it was deffo a good shout to get skirts colour coded and smoothed.  Cant complain for £160 to do them and the bumper!
Will post pics when all fitted up...soon as the weather improves.   MOT soon and then will chuck the H&R sports springs on

Passed the MOT no issues so got the H&R sports springs fitted.  Still settling but happy with the drop considering its still got to be a practical daily.  The ride is great, not bouncy but gets rid of the god awful body roll when cornering enthusiastically!


So I braved the wind and sleet, froze my tits off but fitted my ed30 seats.  Goes with my steering wheel, just got to sought the gaitors out and the arm rest...dont know what to do about the door cards though

Great new mods! Those seats look mint. :grin:

Like many said already your Golf has the best colour! :wink:

I chose mine because it hides better the dust accumulated. :innocent:
