Indeed, shame the owner had basically gone for bare minimum on the inside- not even a decent set of clocks which would tell me my MPG  :sick: but should see that change in time.

Which wheels you going for?

well, so far blew my money on the things mentioned above- though with Christmas a few months away would seem a nice time to save up some pennies and soon next year get hold of whatever i can afford.

to be honest- the alloys seem to be one of the priciest things i can be after, compared to my 106 where i picked up 2 or 3 sets of alloys for ~£50 and were in semi decent condition. VW alloys seem to fetch more like 150-250 in sh!te condition, really baffles me!!! lol!!

impuLz:
Finally sold off all my 106 mods, so purchased a few little bits for the VeeDub!

Cheeky VW crown sticker put in my Rear view, will look out for other suitable stickers which are both nice, neat and amusing... recommendations welcome!

Bonnet bra fitted and came in handy for my drive to cornwall on a late holiday trip, although car certainly needs a good wash/wax/polish!!

another thing i hadn't considered was a badgeless grill expecting them to be £50+ like most things VW, but to my surprise a mere £20 meant i have one of those now,
which is fitted but needs to be taken back off for spraying and finishing off.. and while i am at it, will rub down rear boot badge and work on that with the MK4 Black badge on top


SPAX 40mm springs ready to go on, just need to find time to get her booked in to have it done, cant be bothered with DIY  :indifferent:

De-badge rear if there are no holes behind the letters i assume?


should be at a stage where i am happy with it then, although i am considering 16" steelie wheels rather then alloys, simply due to price and being a poor young man....
will be able to make a small claim to a euroish look with them, although it will never be anything compared to euro- not enough money for that either... :)

updates with pics once springs are on and she has been washed!

Update:

-De-Letter Rear




-Started Stickering Rear Window




-Bonnet Bra & Badgless Grill











Picture of my boot badge.... pure fail that VW can't make them without this kind of thing happening... will rub it down best i can and paint it same colour as car.




comments welcome as always.

cheers

JoeDarKa:
Good start! Where was your sticker from?

Andy:
my rear badge went the same way--i got mine painted.here is a pic when i got it done  a few years ago
