anna 0 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 well the golf started life as this in 2005 then underwent a few changes it stayed like this for about 6 months before changing againhow it stands now is like this. After cracking a rallye headlight i had to buy another front end for the time being. Plans for 2009 are new wheels 15s bbs rms hopefullysome chroming under the bonnet, cams and a remap its getting spark plugs and a coilpack tomorrow, and rallye front going back on.

Phat VR6 3 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 was gona try make some out of acrylic and velcro them on or something you could do but it will probably look pants..... i hate stone chips, you should stop tailgating people lol this is prity much how i wanted my mk2, but id change the rear lights and can't make my mind up about smoothed door handles.ever thought about a bmw top fill rad? would really finish off the bay Link to post Share on other sites
anna 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 yeah have thought about those rads cash is tight at the mo so maybe in the future.i have got 3 sets of rear lights so swap between them if i get bored same as front ends.kinda wish i hdnt got smoothed handles can be a pain and i get scared the battery will go flat Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 just add some cables from battery terminals and have em hanging down somewhere you can get jump leads attached to.....obviously need to be insulated tho so dont short out by swinging free Link to post Share on other sites
