Welcome back Martin, Look forward to the new Build Thread!

Supposed to be quite capable at Stage 1 upwards, Still 50/50 on the styling but they are growing on me.

Hope it serves you well though  :smiley: It is in good hands in your ownership that is for sure!

Best Colour too.

Thanks chaps.  :grouphug:

(Once she's  had a proper clean I'll post some pics and start a build thread in the appropriate section.)

Kept looking at the RS3 but kept coming back to the Golf.

My R is Lapiz Blue, 3 dr, DSG and the 18" Cadiz wheels. Doesn't have DCC or Nav but after driving a few with DCC I wasn't blown out of the water so no biggy IMHO. Wanted DSG as I don't want the faff of changing clutches once power is added.

Need to look into mods now.....Stage 1 is a stand alone mod so a given and a no brainer so will look into REVO, APR, GIAC or a nice custom map from MRC and see what each offer.

Stage 2 will follow I imagine along with zorst and cooler etc etc. Not Sold on the Cadiz wheels so they will be changed to something in 19"....either OZ, Vossen, VMR or Neuspeed, can't decide yet on which or what colour....(although quite like Gold).  :pomppomp:

Few cosmetic changes will take place and then we shall see how she looks.


Sure there is lots of other bits I need to do and will end up doing but that's all I can think of for now.

 :happy2:

19" VWR alloys the Pro Race style ones, Unicorn Motorsport for the Remap. He is very good!
