Title: Hi Everyone, Dalco is here !
Post by: dalco on September 05, 2011, 09:06:41 am

Hi All,

This is my first post on this Forum,

I have a 5Dr 1.9D in the most very basic of POVERTY spec models.

I shall be slowly enhancing, Nothing to lairey just subtle this and that making it look like a fake GTi probably.

I had a Merc C-Class (2004 C240) but was far to expensive to run, The Golf is for the misses to ferry the kids about the town so MPG is fairly goo compared to the merc.

I own a Car Audio Company so may hang out in there and offer advise where needed.

Kind Regards

Steve

Thanks guys,

The retro fitting has indeed begun already!!!!

So far I've upgraded to a full leather interior.
Leather door cards with Ali inserts
Apex lowering springs
EBC Drilled & grooved discs
EBC Green stuff pads
Pioneer VW fit Navi
18" BBS CH Reps
GTi Lower bumper
GTi twin pipe (cat back)
Tinted rear glass
Colour coded front bumper inserts
30 Byte CECM

So progressing nicely!!

I also bought a full copy of VCDS and a Ross-Tech cable (Hex+Can)
