    As my girlfriend brought it for me, I had to promise that i'd now save abit of cash and NOT spend it on the Golf. Two weeks later the coilovers were purchased and fitted leaving me with this...

    In return I had to promise to start saving some cash and not spend any on the Golf... It didn't go well.

    A couple of weeks later I came across a set of Ronal Teddies. ALWAYS wanted a set and these are original so 6J wide instead of the re-release 5.5J

    The Golf stayed like this for a while until I decided to pull my finger out. Wheel refurb and new tyres meant these were finally ready...

    Week by week the car was going lower and lower. I got to this point and decided enough was enough for the time being...

    Next up was a GTi splitter, GTi clocks and smoked rears.

    At this point I started to get abit idea happy and started hoarding parts. I decided that I wanted a bench seat in the front. Within a week this was sat in my dining room (Where it still sits today)

    At this point, the car stayed like this for a while...

    My spare bedroom currently houses a full UK Jetta front end, a US spec front bumper, several sets of clocks and lights. I also have a set of 25mm spacers to give it a wider look but arch work is required first.

    Come yew years eve, some lovely person wrote it off :( 40mph into the back of me at a red light. They paid out, the car was repaired and I carried on where I left off...

    Next up was a US Westy front end...

    Next I decided that i'd had enough of the Ronals. I wanted to become a scene queen... 14x8J Image 3 piece splits!

    And that brings me up to today. Next up is more camber on the front and rear so that I can hopefully run even lower and close the gap between the lip/dish and arch!
