This is my current car a 1997 Golf VR6 with 67k on the clock and rare factory fitted Votex kit on it, i have added Audi TT 312mm front brakes and TT comp alloys that have been powdered coated black on the insides and cut out and have the faces polished, it has had a few other bits uprated/changed but all in keeping with the car i think.

When i picked it up







Now

That looks mighty good. Loving the tt wheels, they really suit the car.

I think it looks a lot better now. The TT wheels really suit it.

Have done a few little things to the golf recently, first off I split the headlights and satin blacked the insides, and refitted the standard grill as i snapped some of the clips on the debadged one. Definately prefer it with a debadged grill tho.





Also have had a couple of the wheels off for a tidy up.
The insides after being clayed, polished, 2 coats of sealant and 2 coats of wheel wax!



The faces where sanded with 2000 grit the 4000 grit and various metal polishes followed by 2 coats of sealant and 2 coats of wheel wax. Tyres will be dressed when all 4 are done and the car gets a good going over.





I then taped them up as they will be sat on the car for another few weeks before it gets used again. May leave it on for the south coast run for a laugh! May even do the other side in green tape.

You could always put a set of 'winter' wheels on it?
