Nice and simple! Love it!

Thanks, glad you like it! It's a good thing I didn't get a TDI to be honest, the only thing stopping me getting seriously carried away is the voice in my head saying "It's only a 1.6". :signLOL:

"Only"!!!

Yeah, only haha!
Next year, once the MK1 is done, I think I'll probably sell this and get a GTI/TDI.
Only then will I let it loose on my wallet :signLOL:

Nice clean car you got there, my 1.6 has a similar front end but mine has the GT grilles instead. Though it isn't as shiny compared to yours!  :laugh:

Haha thanks very much! :smiley:
I'm not liking the GTI center grilles, I think they look a bit odd with the fogs. So I'm on the lookout for some R-Line fog grilles, and GT Sport centres now! :drinking:
Have you got a thread for yours?

Thanks! :happy2:
Do it haha! It doesn't take much skill at all, especially in a matte finish, but it takes a good few hours, and my hands were in pieces once I was done :signLOL:

I got a pic of my frontend which kinda looks like this at the moment...



R Lines would be awesome for the fogs, I completely understand about lowering since the 1.6's sit way too high but hopefully getting some H&R springs soon. Also thinking of getting the "clean" version of the R32 rear valance as my current one is scuffed to hell unfortunately by the previous owner.

Looks awesome, I'm really liking those front ends ATM.
Yeah it looks, and feels much nicer lower IMO. :laugh:
I'm thinking of going for a smooth R32 lower valance too! :happy2:

Thanks man! It's been much more well recieved than I expected :signLOL:
I did like them, but the offset made them look too aggressive for my taste.. :sad1:
Yeah I hope I can find some soon, it was hard enough finding those. Might have to step up the budget :signLOL:

Thanks guys :smiley:
Yeah, the arch gap just looked stupid, especially on the back.
The guy who bought them off me has a Jetta that's going on air, so shouldn't be a problem for him, the lucky so-and-so! :signLOL:

Thanks man! Me too :scared:

Small update;
I went and picked up a parcel today.


Inside it was this.


To replace... This.. :stupid:


I don't know what went on here, when I bought the car, that was the only problem I found with it, and it's annoyed me ever since..
It's clearly been the focus of abuse for some strange reason, and there seems to be a lot of sand down there :confused:
I'll fit the new one on the weekend and clean it all out.

Should make a bit of a difference :signLOL:


I'm on the lookout for a grey folding cupholder that's missing in the above picture if anyone knows of a spare one?
I don't know why that center armrest has taken such a beating when the rest of the car is perfect condition :signLOL:
