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

[dylan8]

how do you colour code em? just paint em or they different bumpers all together? i'm confused

Can paint them, Tony with the super charged 4mo has his painted from memory. if you just paint them they look different to the body, but i think if you get them 'filled and smoothed' they can be brought up to the same as the rest of the paint

Just had a new set of Pirelli P-Zero Corsas fitted to the R, and what a difference a good set of tyres make. Can't believe the traction available now.

yeah that's what i was thinking, the grey bumpers are textured so you would think it would look odd.
tazzy, how much it cost you? and you get it smoothed or just painted straight on?

meanwhile my car is in for some diagnostics, so i've been driving a little golf6 the base model basically as its a shared car in the family.
interesting to drive it, completely different to the mkiv. feels tiny or something. chasis and interior feels nice and firm, though obviously being a base model doesn't corner great

Mine were already painted when I bought the car and they are still textured, I wouldn't say it looks wierd, they are matched really well IMO. Here's a pic Ignore the arrow!

ah ok, but you've got an exhuast cut out on the back, don't think that's a standard valance for a local gti?
Maybe from a bora?

Sure is, 4motion valance to make way for the dual exhaust tips.

Replaced my headlight after smashing the previous one a couple of weeks ago.

[Rybky]

Drove it like I stole it.

[JustCruisn]

Washed it - first time this since Jan I think.

[Speed]

Straightened my bonnet hinges.

Replaced the hubbies on my wifes car as some low life pinched em!

[Driven Threads]

Had a small branch fall on it. Just a small dint on the bonnet. Im getting quite a collection of them!

[balkanac]

I started mine up and reversed it out of the garage to the front lawn. I put it back in the garage few hours later. Thats all driving it got in the last few weeks

[Silver dub]

I started restoring the headlights on the bora last weekend ready for someone to buy it.

Never realized how bad they were until I completed one.

I was also told it would take 30min to do both headlights..........HA...... 3hours later I had 1 done, so this weekend I shall tackle the other.
