Rob's Black GTI

Hi all, been on the forum for a whilst. Been meaning to write a build thread but haven't got round to doing it till now.
First VW was a MK4 Golf 1.6 which lasted about 8 months -
Bought some cheap 17" alloys of fleabay
Then on my birthday the gear box blew up,
.
After a new gearbox and clutch sold it for a profit (y)
Then saved up the pennies and bought this little beauty for £6k with 51k miles on the clock 1 owner and full dealership history !
17" monza alloys
cloth interior
everything stock
After a few days ownership she was looking neglected with the 100 mile a day round trip to work
Bought a D/A polisher, a ton of polishes, glazes, pads, quick detailers from chemical guys (well worth getting a few things from) a karcher snow foam lance and gave her some much needed tlc.
Soon got used to the 200 ponies, so booked her in down at AMD tuning essex for stage 1 map, miltek catback (non resonated), DV+, and panel filter. This resulted in a complete change in the feel of the car much more responsive and goes like s**t of a shovel. Dyno print out "claims" 250bhp ! after having a couple of runs against my mates stock focus st 230bhp i wouldn't say it was far off.
(Excuse the awful photography)
Bit of beading,
Open fog vents,
Got the windows tinted
Thought about getting the R32 tinted rear lights but for the price i decided to try tinting the original red ones. (Didnt think about taking the light housing out :confused:)
PCV delete plate from the guys at forge
Latest purchase some RS4 reps
Wasn't 100% sure about them, but they're growing on me, next to get some lowered springs on, R32 projectors, R32 brake kit, Twintake, Twintercooler, HPFP internals, Miltec 200 cell sports cat downpipe, stage 2+, clutch, sm flywheel + much, much more.
Another project in the household - VW beetle hot rod

£210.00 by a mobile fitting company, the bloke really took his time making sure it was spot on. http://www.tintacar.co.uk/
