Like that bud big thumbs up
Cheers Vw Nut...

I currently have a lot investednin my MK4 , bought bit 2 years ago with 49,000 on the clocks and slowly been doing bits to it... I originally wanted an Anni but couldn't find one with low miles... So went for the one I have now....

I have invested over 3k in suspension, R32 front brakes, vrs rear vented, cast arms, hubs and quick rack...

Also interor I've added all the R32 alloys trim, full display clocks Bora flat vents.... But the best mod is a 30 eBay hobbies automatic headlights switch that turns on when it gets dark...

Exterior had full respray last year smoothed anniversary bumpers and splitters and smooth boot lid

Currently my next project is converting the intercooler, currently have the Standard AUM set up but changing to the BAM Charge pipe, inlet and single pass cooler
Very tasty I also have the ebay 30 pounds auto headlight switch and love it just started on the golf really got loads to do still I really want some porsche brakes but not cheap

I looked at them too, but wanted to look OEM so went with the R32,. Have you looked at the Leon Cupra R brakes? They are brembo and a straight fit to the golf

Yes Pal I have both and it tightens up the front... My next suspension mod is to fit a whiteline rear antiroll bar which is meant to transform the rear of the car...
