Title: My previous Golf's (pic heavy)

My Previous VAG's

Started getting the BUG with my first mk4 Golf 1.8T R32 replica

Then after losing the car in a bad accident, i bought myself a standard but very rare mk4 Golf 1.8T in factory Candy White. I then took about modifying it from standard to 198bhp with a Milltek Exhaust, Pipercross filter, Forge TIP, Forge 007p and R-Tech remap. Later i then upped the power with the addition of a 3" downpipe & De-cat, K03s turbo, Forge Actuator and another remap. This upped the power to 234bhp and 256lb/ft torque. I then changed the wheels to black BBS Anniversary and added an R32 front bumper

Then i made the hard decision to sell the White mk4 but after a few months of not having a car to play with i bought my mk4 Golf R32. Fitted a Milltek cat back system, R-Tech induction Kit and R-Tech remap upping the power to 254bhp. I then fitted some Rotiform NUE 18x8.5 wheels.

I am currently selling the R32 and have just bought my 1st mk5, a MK5 Golf GT TDI 140bhp R32 rep. I will get pictures up of the mk5 soon.

im struggling to sell the r32 for 6k at the moment which is cheap for the spec, mods and mileage. Do miss driving it but i will be able to drive it again tomoz for a few days seeing as ive changed insurance back to it.

mk5 is nice but needs bodywork sorting out and getting rid of the awful r32 rep front bumper on it. Hate it when people put non gen kits on them.

the GT Tdi has 62k on the clock, in Lazer Blue, 3dr, R32 cloth interior, r32 wheels, r32 rear valance, r32 style exhaust. lacks service history but i wasnt too bothered about that. Gonna cost about £700 to get the paint work sorted properly and fit a ED30 front bumper, Valance, Badgeless grill, new foglights. Just spent near £500 getting Clutch Master Cylinder, Slave cylinder and clutch fitted. Bought the car for just over 5k. Mot'd til next Oct
