    ok so my 4mo daily looks a bit:

    [​IMG] [xx(]

    but I'd rather it looked a bit more:

    [​IMG] :thumbup:

    As far as I can see, its the front and rear valance, R32 skirts and the wheels. Are those the only differences? Sometimes the devil is in the detail, like ride height or something.

    So the help I need is

    a bit of spot the difference

    then
    Name that wheel

    followed by
    find a dealer who sells the valance trim and skirts

    And no, I wont be be welding up the back doors to make it a 3door :p
    Thanks ladies and gentlemen,

    oma

    ooh ps my handbrake button rattles, anyone know a clever fix for this?

    Its showing an anniversary now!

    Headlights are different on the anniversary, they are darkened. Do you have xenons on your 4 motion?

    I think the wheels are BBS RC but i could be wrong

    I also have a feeling the mirrors are slightly different on the anniversary and r32, I seem to remember them being smaller but I could of imagined it I suppose!

    You may struggle to get darkened lenses for xenons, dont know if it was an option on anni's but if it was it will more than likely be a rare one

    You may have to modify the rear valence slightly to accomodate the exhaust, the petrol and diesel rear valences are different, the petrol one has a cutout for a single exhaust

    as said above the mirrors are smaller the same as the r32 you can all so make lupo mirrors housing fit the golf base plate
    the drivers one i smaller and if you mix and match euro or jap you can to smaller or two not so small
    the lupo ones are 150mm and 130mm long
    and polo 6n2 mirrors housing shoud work as well

    see hear on how to do it http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/291549.aspx?PageIndex=1

    the anni side skirts will fit both 3 or 5 door if you get r32 side skirts you would have to get 5 door ones as the 3 door one dont fit 5 door cars

    not a big fan for the color coded valances on the anni

    Brilliant, thanks Mushy, just bought the JOM front and found some genuine second hand skirts, I'm up to 150 quid so far, which aint bad.

    I'm on the scour for a rear at the moment, but its a trickier decision because the 4mo has twin tailpipes and the anni has a single round. So I need a plan for the exhaust first. Any suggestions?

    Oh yar, I think that looks proper good :thumbup: You'd really have to know what you were looking at to spot that it isnt OEM.

    There's a mint set of refurbed BBS RC's on ebay - 750 - to bid or not to bid... that is the question [:s]

    I'd go with the single tbh, it looks better compared to the twin. :thumbup:
