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

[dubster99]

How do you rate the 20% tint ? not too dark ? keeps the car cooler in the sun ? thinking about doing mine ..


Sam

Yea its nice and dark, not too noticable which keeps the boys in blue away. Alot cooler than before when I had no tint! Cost me 250 which I was happy with.

20% sucks in undercover carparks etc when trying to reverse etc at night. other than that, its not too bad.

[Golf-Sam]

Haha where i live .. Bad things happen in undercover car parks

fixed my bumper today ended up having to take it off and realign it, looks good as new now though which is nice

and stan the JB weld worked very well, would recommend it

ahh, brilliant, thanks

[kendog]

forgot to take them didn't really think of it, but which part did you want pics of? the JB weld? because that was just to patch around the screw holes as they got ripped open when it got pulled off

Yeah, just to see what it is, how it works/looks in real life. I've never used it before, just curious..

once mixed its a grey paste kind of thing and very easy to apply, similar to super glue. it takes a few hours to dry (they recommend overnight) and it dries the same grey as when applied. it says on the packaging that it can be sanded and painted if necessary but because you cant see where i put mine on i didn't worry. they also say on the packaging that its as strong as steel once dry, i couldnt test that but it certainly felt very strong to me

[kendog]

Awesome explanation, thanks mate!

[JustCruisn]

So I got the car back last week after getting new diff bolts etc. Still had the knocking noise. It went back in today.
Got a call just now. Teeth missing on the ring gear. $900 + freight for that sucker.
So I thought I got away lightly, nah no chance.

[kendog]

WTF?? Shouldn't that have been picked up in all the repairs?? A fair bit of that $900 would be labor just to get to it right?

[Lito]

ordered new wheels today.
got to customize them to my specs too! 18x8.5 et30. didn't want to go too aggressive but should give it a nice stance can always, space out the rears

[VWindahouse]

Nice mate, should look sweet on.

[Lito]

Nice mate, should look sweet on.

thanks bro, hopefully mine won't have all the holes for the multi-pcd. get to pick them up on saturday with brand new tires how's your new turbo coming???

[dylan8]

What are they...? do I dare say they look a bit like rotas...
8.5et30 is nice. I ran that front and 8.5et25 rear on my flat5s was a nice daily spec
