Around the middle of june
GAA Field somewhere just outside the city
Very good show as the weather does be great
Have a look back at events in vagdrivers and you'll see some pic's
I think it's the best Ireland has to offer in the line of a vw show

Yes should be the that, must get more details off you closer to the date -

I would like to see those cups up close :wink:

Got these back today and must say they are looking pretty nice. Must get them wrapped in rubber now and bolt them to the car. Oh and the coilovers are now fitted

I got them completely refurbed. Centres sprayed the same colour as the car and the lip was given a good old polishing :wink:

Wheels look cracking, get them on the car!

Stunning wheels mate! 8)

Thanks for the comments lads.

Came home from college the other day and found that my uncle the post man dropped these in for me…

They are the centre caps for the MSW wheels. They are super rare, these ones came from Chicago, USA. They were brand new so ye can imagine how happy I was

How chuffed! 8)

Tucked away in the garage while I get some money saved for new tyres



Coilovers in place

It is one of the best golfs I've seen. This is rebuilding as I would love to do. Great car, keep up the good work. Cheers from Macedonia…
