My wife had a red one about 10 years ago, 30 k miles on it when she brought it from memory. She brought it from Volkswizard One of the best looking golfs built imho.

Your car looks ver nice

Generally I don’t like red cars, but this really pops, loads more pictures inside/outside/engine bay, needed.

Despite what the jurnos say, I think it’s one of the better looking Golf’s, yours looks very schmick.

Nice list of mods, enjoy sharing and

Was it a 25th anniversary? Sounds nice know Andrew from volkswizard I tend to agree the mk4 is a nice shape thank you for your kind words

I love the look of your car. Perfect stance,wheels and the anniversary kit is just the best look. Although I like the R32 look aswell I would choose anniversary. I had a new Dutch import 3 door Highline ( gt tdi spec) in 1999. I kept it for 10 years and always regretted selling it but then 3 years ago I bought it back before it went to the scrappy.
I have a one lady owner 45'000 mile 1.4S which is going to be the donor shell as my old one now has rot to be proud of. I have been buying goodies such as anniversary side skirts,recaro interior to make a car that looks as good as yours but with the 110 tdi engine. I am always surprised at the lack of mk4's in readers cars apart from the M W Stewart one! These photos have made my day!

I've always liked the Anni, and Mk4s in general.

[daqinggregg]

Personally I’d wouldn’t have the Porsche steering wheel, I think it detracts from what is a fantastic looking car, I’m sure if you don’t like the standard wheel there are plenty of great looking alternatives.

However, as they say “Not my monkey, not my circus”, it’s your car to do with as you please, extra images look great, it looks like a lovely example of what is IMO one of the best looking Golf’s.

thank you for your kind words yes I'm kinda happy with the golf now yes there are some nice steering wheels out there but the Porsche I love had some very positive feedback so far but like you said not everyones choice

That looks lovely, some great mods on it too.. I'd really like that steering wheel in my 911.

I had a PD150 version a few years ago and really loved it, the only downside for me was the high driving position/seat not going low enough. Even as a standard car, it went really well and returned great MPG too.

I had a standard 1.8T GTI around 15 years ago.

I wouldn’t say they are a brilliant drivers car, but more a fun run around. When you look at them like that I think they make more sense. MK5 is the much better car but do think the MK4 looks better.

Yes of course the mk5 golf is a better handling car but not as nice looking as the mk4 I agree with you on that I have had a few golfs also a fan of the mk1 mk2 and mk7
