Welcome Leah. Like William said congrats on the car, they are very nice and with a little modding you can do wonders with them. Post some pics of your car so we can see.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the car! Their very good value for money at the moment with prices dropping. You get quite a bit of car for what you pay.

Don't scare people...

The tyre people will match up the right tyre to the right diameter wheel, and it will be fine!!!

Check here if you're concerned!

Welcome 1eah, Its good to have you here! Hope you enjoy the forum. We are a helpful and enthusiastic bunch.
Great choice of Golf too. The suspension is a much needed mod on them as well.I ran Konis and lowered springs on my old mk4 and it completely transformed the car.
Anyway, once again welcome and dont be shy abou5t asking any questions here, we dont laugh or bite!
Cheers, Andrew

Welcome Leah

Enjoy VW Motoring

Is this your 1st VW ?

[91eah]

Yes you all are a very welcoming bunch! Im sure i will have many questions to ask you all!!

I will get some pics up tomorrow!

Yes this is my first vw! I spent about 8 months tracking down the perfect GTi!! It took so long to find one, but it was so worth the wait!

My first mod was..... a stubby antenna! hehe PLENTY MORE TO COME!

think inmotive.com.au got a whole batch of Forge Motorsport Stubbys.. (would recommend, as they are as good as OEM for reception) where i found a lot others are ****e lol

As GTIMK5 said previously, the suspension is pretty soft on the MK4 GTI, and I would do that first. Eibach springs and koni shocks, or maybe coils if you can afford them.

Many say the chip should be the first mod, but I think the suspension can be just as rewarding if not more! The car is much faster on a better suspension, then add the chip to match it

Yes I am in agreeance, and I only have a MKIV 1.6.

If you have the $ - coilovers may be more your thing.
