    Jed's MKIV .:R32

    I've owned the car for just over a year now. And have loved every second of it!!!! ... Other than finding out the guy before me treated it like rubbish
    This has meant I've had to spend a fair bit on maintenance unfortunately, but it's all worth it for a car like this
    She's done 155,000km ish now and is on the mend.

    I figured since I now have a set of V3's in her that I better start up a build thread for the mods that will follow in due time. She also currently has an HPA Competition Haldex Controller fitted
    Oh, and the flapper mod. Of Course! haha

    I don't own a decent camera so nearly all the photos are from my iPhone, which kinda sucks but oh well. Just more reason for other people to take good photos of her! hahaha

    A photo of when she was 100% stock courtesy of BWoodington Photography




    Now that Coilovers have been fitted Just today in fact, and loving them so far! Unfortunately only a crappy iPhone pic though




    And some track time love




    Cheers guys,
    Jed

      Haha thanks mate. Yeah she needs a bit of love to recover from the previous bloke

      Do you have two or one set of adjustable rear control arms on your beast?

                  Nice to look at and I'm sure It's even better to drive!

                  I might have missed it, but is it your daily drive?

                    Yeah they involved working a lot of 7 day weeks at the same time as full-time uni. But all worth it

                    And yes she is my daily drive, and she does a very good job of the commute and lugging of things around etc.
                    A very impressive all-rounder I must say!

                      May I suggest a vinyl wrap on you "b" pillars to get rid of the silver.
                      Will look cleaner and I suggest vinyl as it can be removed later without damaging your original paint.

                      Maybe black or carbon fibre???

                        Nah, I had a look at it. It looks nice from a far, but up close I think it would look terrible because the B Pillars are quite different depth wise compared to the glass

                            I agree, but I'd just mask it well and spray it with black plasti dip. Bam, done. Peel it off if you don't like it later.

                            Look at how well the 'pillarless' look works on the other golf in the photo...
