adrian13's RS golf TDI Build

[adrian13]

SHIT!!!!! what happened?
worst on fresh painted stuff too

honestly you guys might laugh at me but i accidentally reversed into the pole pillar thingo found at your local shopping centre. I constantly checked my blind spot and my side mirrors but unfortunately i took the turn wrong and buckled the bumper slightly and obviously scraped of the paint (as well as cracking parts of my tail light) I've never been in an accident nor have i wanted to. I can certainly say I am a safe driver but my confidence on the road has gone downhill. Love my car to bits and to see it like this burns me! Just an unfortunate accident that could have been avoided if i had taken more care. idiot

Ah ok... Well don't let it put your confidence down, we've all at least had one accident in our lives; nobody is a perfect driver.
At least with this you can get it fixed, no other parties are involved so no insurance claims and you move on.

I know your pain bro, 4 weeks ago somebody rammed me up the arse, surprisingly my car only sustained rear bumper damage, didn't even touch the hatch.
Her Camry was a real mess, broken headlights/indicators and bent up bonnet.

It got sorted very quickly by my insurance company, it was a bit tricky with the bumper as I too have a GTI valance which isn't standard on my car.

I hope I don't have a frontal smash as the GTI front isn't standard either lol.

Btw the TDI is looking' great mate.

The reason being that the rear steel bar that bolted to the chassis is behind the bumper, but out past the tail gate. Good design imho, for Golf driver that is

[Fatherless One]

Yep, I'm still lovin' my Golf

Added tdi badge to front grille

Havent been on the forum in ages! Well im back and ready to update moar!

So car hasnt been fixed yet but will be next week! Will be using Poyta's inspiration and will be mounting up a r32 rear valance with gloss black insert, already ordered and on its way! New tails as mine are cracked which have also been ordered (completely black,cannot see through at all, and when lit has the Mk6 R lines) and have placed a deposit for a supersprint exhaust system from Ramspeed! They will also be fitting a milltek downpipe to add onto the supersprint!

Next mods will include minor little bits here and there..major mods include either kw coils with fully adjustable ride height OR airbags turbo upgrade with bigger injectors and a new clutch all recommended and purchasing from Darkside Developments (i dont know what each part is called but will be when the time comes to purchase them) VwRacing itg intake kit, RNS510, and looking into custom leather interiors all to come within the next long 6 months

Hey Adrian how much was the rear bar? And where from if you don't mind me asking?

Long story short,
My mate went to the uk for a holiday and found a guy selling this r32 oem bar along with some parts he wanted to purchase for his s3. I agreed to wire the money off to him and got it for $500 with all covers and reflectors. I think it was a good pick up! I know some people have tried the aftermarket versions and some have worked well on ebay so maybe try there? Or if your casually passing through the uk haha hope ive helped mate..

Ahk thanks
