    haha sounds good man! must all be around that price lol
    I want to wrap my roof and door pillars black I want to do my mirrors aswel but i think it'll be a bit difficult so i might just grab some black covers off ebay.

    I ended up buying the 25mm spacers tonight ahah
    My mate needed the cash and there were a few other people after them, so i just grabbed them and hope they fit.

        So after my exam today i was determined to get my car looking mint! So the spacers are in and its made huge difference! So happy aha
        Also found a nail in my tire which led to getting it patched up after. 3 Tire shops and i finally got it fixed at the last one haha. 1st one is run/owned by a cop (Should've remembered and the cop car at the front wasn't a good sight lol), 2nd one too busy, 3rd = Lads haha

        Before:


        After:


        Finished:


        Valance was off ebay from the uk and would love to complete the kit but money is the issue haha
        Enjoy

                        CAPUTO9's First Car Build Thread - 1.6L Golf

                        Thanks guys!
                        Not many updates due to lack of funds! So all I've been doing is cruising around and enjoying my little beast haha

                        But since my last update I went out of my way to purchase a set of oem roof racks and I love them haha!

                        I've also installed an Audi A4 Avant Rear Wiper. Imo it's a subtle mod that looks a lot cleaner than the original. As I like my wiper I didn't want to remove it. Required a little trimming around the washer jet as the audi twin jet doesn't work on the vw system without replacing the motor.
                        Before:


                        After:


                        As the weeks went on "Jafs cruise" came up and a few photographers took a few snaps of my car [emoji38]



                        Next is black mirror covers. Purchased mainly to replace a cracked cover from previous owner which vibrated and liked to annoy the **** out of me when the bass dropped aha.
                        Before:


                        After:


                        And today's mod is a muffler delete replaced with a resonator to provide some more grunt when cruising around. I never realised how restrictive the stock muffler is! Also a bit of weight reduction considering it weighs about 5kg aha

                        Don't mind me, just casually 3 wheeling [emoji108]


                        Enjoy and may there be many more mods to come!

                            Thanks blackers! Aha I wanted black mirror covers, they're painted gloss black. I could've bought new silver ones but wanted something a bit different

                            I've had plans on wrapping my roof and b-pillars gloss black and thought they'd go well with it aswel
                            But with my suspected water pump problem atm it's on hold :/
