What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[Manaz]

Picked up my Dieselgeek/Sigma short shifter today. And my rotors are in Kentucky!

Kentucky, that's just up the road isn't it?

Well of course the supplier sent the WRONG BILSTEIN SHOCKS!!

Invoice surely says 4Motion, but when we pulled them out of the box... FWD.

Anyway, good news is the rear bar and custom links are in and the right dampers will be here on Monday.

But that's OK, as it just adds to the drama of the last few weeks, when the plumbers managed to flood three rooms of an apartment I was renovating, the insurance assessor (who I took the day off to meet) calls in sick this morning, then the suppliers send the wrong shocks.

Honestly...

Yeah I'm not a big fan of the overbite look. Also makes parking a fair bit easier/less risky. I think you'll also find that the majority of the ones that are sticky outy are not screwed on like mine. They just seem to have it jammed between the splash guard and the bar, or have drilled new holes. Mine match up with the pre-existing holes.



As for the grill. It's a good thing I've still got all the original badges, mirror housings and grill then (plus all the other stock parts) if I get sick of it.

Cheers,
Trent

Edit: And just fit the damn thing already. :p

I agree with fuzion sorry!
Im liking the mirrors! any chance of a black sticker/overlay on the pillar between the drivers and rear passengers window to match the mirrors?

It's ok I new it wouldn't be too everybody's liking.
I don't think the B-Pillar blackening would work as there is no natural finishing line on the B-Pillar like on the MkV.

I like the blacked out look Trent. Looks understated. The mirrors look ace black matching the black plastic trim. Thats is one part of a stock car that lets it down not being colour coded IMO. And as you say when or if you get sick of it return back to stock. Was thinking of doing something similar but i think i'm gonna keep mine OEM and go for a different look.

hmm...interesting trent. but i would leave the front r32 badge and vw badge chrome.

Won't match the rear badges then. Plus the blackness...
