My MRS' birthday present and new daily

Look what turned up on our drive today !!

Yes you all know it well and have seen it a million times before.












Thankfully she really loves it, thank you Mr. Lupton for cleaning it for her.

Road Tax £118.25,
Filling up the tank £70,
The look of embarrasment on her face as she stalled it, Priceless.

Happy birthday babe.

I think I may have seen a page or two about it.


There will be little additions/changes like, getting rid of the non standard trims on the door handles and stereo surround
(now dark wood from my other mk4)

I would really like to change the wheels as they're not really to my liking but Rachel likes them.
The lights want resetting on a beam setter,
The brakes need the fluid changing and the clutch master too as they seem to be a little spongy.
I need to put the Ariel on the stereo (doh)

But It's all good apart from that.
Depending on money, I may treat it to a full stainless system and a decat.

i used one of these in my caddy as i didnt want to drill any holes in my wings, dead easy to fit and really good reception

I like the rims, shame they're not 5x112

The rims are multi fit nelds.

5x100 and 5x112.

hmmmmn interesting

I THINK that they are XL tyres too

Tbh steelies would look better than those alloys, what about some lm or rotiform reps? Cheap enough with tyres if you look around

Lms would be nice, I'm guessing you can get 18's, as I dont want to spring for tyres.

Nelds, that ariels on its way thanks for the link.

XL doesnt mean they'll be any good for mine, they need to be load rated above 97 or 98 i think.

your welcome Guy, hope it does for you want
