"Will smooth it off before retexturing so it'll look like a deep 1 piece splitter"

How did you re-apply the texture?

Nice work BTW.

With a course texture rattle can mate.

Should be collecting new wheels after the gti international show today so the oz turbos will be for sale. £1000 firm
I'll be in the clubstand area if you want to view them

Update time for those interested

Collected new wheels last weekend after the Gti international show. Compomotive TH mono's 8Jx15in et25. Approx 6 months use so pretty much near mint.
I stripped the tyres off at work the following day


I do have the centre caps too

Yesterday, i collected another set of wheels
Ronal LS's 7.5Jx15in et25. These need a refurb.



Not everyone's cup of tea but who cares, these are being wrapped in Federal RSR's(ordered) for possible track days and my annual nurburgring trips!

Thought i'd try 1 on for size



Tried a TH mono on while i was at it



Today, i went to the stanford hall show where i made arrangements to collect a red stripe interior off sphmk1 on here


Only need the rear bench tbh as i plan to collect my wife and our first child from the hopital in the golf   . Only 2 weeks til due day  8O
I knew they was'nt going to be in the best of conditions for the price so i stripped the front seats down of the red stripe material so i can possibly retrim something at a later date. The frames are already in the car ready to be put in the scrap bin at work.

Also came across 2x brand new yokohama A520's at the show. A cheeky haggle and a bargain was had  :thumbs_up: . Just need 2 more for the monos now.

love the monos, can't wait to see them on the golf, might persuade me to get a set.

Not updated for a while as i've been busy with the birth of my little boy and having numerous visitors

Here he is, just over 6 weeks old at edition38 show


Anyway, ive finally got the ronals painted. Metalic black with matt lacquar.
Tyres are 195/50/15 federal RSR's


Fitted them today





Sadly my favourite back road has been resurfaced so i have'nt tested them out. Feels great driving around at low speeds though

I did raise the front to match the rear but still had some scrubbing. This will be resolved over the winter months though, along with a few other choice upgrades!

Cant wait for the next trip to nurburgring and a few track days next year

Congrats Lee

With April only round the corner(the month i usually tax the car), i thought i'd fire up the beast and clean the dust off


Little wash



Had a cheeky little spin too. My god its weird having been used to driving my T4 daily lol but i like it  excited

Should think it'll be MOT time soon so once ive got a fresh ticket, i'll crack on with a few mods

Well we have a proper spray booth mate. Why, you need bits doing?

Should be fine with 7's mate. I raised the car when I fitted the track tyres that its on now. It'll be dropped back down again once I've played with the front arches

just a few bits of storage damage over the years need some attention, will drop you a line when the car is back on the road and pop up then.

Yeah pop round sometime bud

Update

Taxed my golf for the summer so she's now back out to play 

Put a fresh MOT on it yesterday too

Had to take some pic's for my agreed valuation with insurance so I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning.

I also fitted my new crosshair headlights and my black powder coated eibach strutbrace.

Car looks great   , i've just flicked though your thread, looks like you've had some fun in it too.

She's got her bad bits that the pics hide mate. Hopefully have her repainted this winter before next years road trip to worthersee.
