Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      thanks guys, i feel so happy i'm officially a VR6 owner!!
      but previous owner must have hit a curb as i mentioned before and as a result one wheel has a dent and a crack, so i'll be hopefully picking up a set of 17s next week, and wrapping them in some new rubber.

      From there i'll have to get a rwc and get rego, as i'm still a learner it doesn't really concern me that it could be off the road for just abit as i mainly take public transport anyhow... but after i get rego, Let the mods begin!! unless.. ofcourse i can't help myself and i just go on a shopping spreee!!

        the rear drivers window wouldn't stay up all the way , after inspection they had jammed a piece of sunglasses into it to hold it up lol
        the power windows wouldn't work , but you could hear the motor working, so me and the old man opened it up and it was all mangled, decided to check the other golf to see if those were mangled too, the parts golf rear power windows don't work though , but we just swapped over the motor to the other mechanism and chucked it in and bobs your uncle.

        took the spare sound deadening foam from the spare golf


        also didn't like the look of the dusty white rear spoiler, so I got the heat gun out and had a crack, here's half done. look at the difference

            not really keen on the vr6 tails as everyone has them on their mk3s , so decided to diy hella reds.
            masked my Amber reds from the Gl
            and after a few nice light coats of VHT nite-shades red, we went from this..

            to this >>


            I also gave my front Amber indicators a bit of red and the fake fogs a tint, the lighting isn't the best but they're not fullllll black, but they are still abit too dark for how I wanted them
            and also the side indicators

            next cosmetic mod I think I might have a crack at is the joeys mod, just have to get some time to goto Bunnings or something and grab some high heat matt paint I guess .

                            I saw your ad in the WTB section for a duckbill lip, any reason why you want that instead of the VR lip?
                            (mine didn't come with a VR lip when I bought it)
                            Past - '95 VW Golf MK3 VR6
                            Present - '11 Ford Focus LW Diesel (PSA DW10C)

                              I like the style of the duckbill and everyone uses the vr lip, not much of a fan.. also i like to be abit different
