Alright people!!

I am totally new to all of this so this will not be the quickest progress page you'll see at all. But its a means for me to be able to see what gets done slowly.

I welcome any comment or suggestions to a newbie, any tips or advice would be great.

But firstly here she is, totally bog standard. :)

Plans for the car are to:

1) New set of wheels and lower
2) New front and rear lights
3) Front bumper conversion to GTi or GTD

And for now that is it. Unsure on what wheels as of yet, interested in the monza 2s but not sure really where to buy from, bit skeptical buying from ebay.

Looks like a good base to start with and the plans sound good

My brother bought wheels from www.bmautosport.co.uk a couple of times and have always been spot on so if suggest taking a look on there

If you want new headlights I'd suggest getting the projector headlights instead of the black GTI ones there's plenty on eBay

Cheers Jaffa I'll keep a look out on that website! Just looking around the site at the moment for inspiration!

I remember when my car looked like that

. Those wheels are cool, only thing I don't like about black wheels is when they get stone chipped/kerbed and silver appears.

Haha had a look at your thread and car looks great! Bit of inspiration for sure! What front bumper do you have on yours and where did you source it?

Wheels look good, im just not a huge fan of black wheels they seem to blend in too much and the design disappears

Search for 3sdm 0.01 and it'll give you a idea of how they look on a golf

Thanks mate. I have a bumper from a GT. Got it from eBay then smoothed the grille, I was lucky to find one in reflex silver for around £300 iirc.
