I got it at the end of October as my last car (a Lexus IS200 Sport) was costing too much to run, So on the hunt for a decent Golf I went. After looking at a few and not liking them i went to one last garage before giving up the hunt for a while. There I seen a 57 plate Golf 2.0 TDI sport with full dealer service history, 49k on the clock, one owner and in near enough as new condition! So I jumped at it!



As soon as I got it home I vowed to keep it standard................That lasted all of a week. After deciding that the wheels I had in the shed that I removed from the lexus going to waste (I got them in a 5x112 fitment and used wobble bolts on them) I decided to see if they would fit the Golf, And they fit perfectly! So ordered a set of spigot rings and VW centre cap badges and put them on.



Then it had a major service consisting of all the filters, belts and fluids along with a water pump for piece of mind. When I replaced the air filter I changed it for a K&N panel filter as I do with all my cars. Also swapped the headlight and main beam bulbs with a set of Osram night breaker plus bulbs and fitted a vw polo aerial.

Then this little lot arrived.



A genuine front center armrest with rear vent pipe, A full set of Bosch wiper blades, New personalized number plates and a Grom Audio I pod connection interface. Fitted all of these over a weekend along with a Parrot ck3100 handsfree kit that I removed from my Lexus when I sold it.

Then this last week I have had it Remapped by Awesome GTI which makes it go like sh1t off a hot shovel and I fitted my powerflex dog bone mount kit in it today (What a difference that has made :grin: ) along with a good wash polish and interior valet.











Just waiting for my Team Heko wind deflectors and lockwood stainless sill plates to arrive along with a new undertray which has gone missing!

Future plans so far are to lower it slightly say about 35mm and have the rear windows tinted something near the style of the OEM tints, and to get another number plate holder for the front as I smashed that putting it on!

Standards wheels looked too small, and also had two bald tyres. They aren't going back on either.

All the engine needs is a new set of glow plugs, Will do them at the weekend if i get the chance, Bit of a pain to do on these. Had a new EGR valve under warranty as it was bringing up fault codes for it.

Why they are up for sale

Im still not 100% sold on the bbs style though, They look good, but not what I want, Want it subtle and looking OEM not part of the vw ScEnE crap.

Well, had a busy day ordering bits off ebay, In no rush for them to turn up as long as they do turn up!

So far ive ordered:
Front centre cupholder with shutter and bottleopener (Genuine)
Electric window seitches, petrol flap release switch, mirror switch and headlight switch off a passat (Chrome trim on them, Genuine)
Upper steering wheel trims in aluminium to match interior
Seat wrench insert trims with Golf logo on them
Climatronic bezels in aluminium
Door warning lights front and rear (Genuine).

All coming from hong kong so should be here mid january!

Also fitted my engine undertray, Team HEKO wind deflectors, LED interior lights, front and rear mudflaps, lockwood door sill covers and had the rear windows tinted with a 40% tint at the weekend. Will get some pictures when I get the chance.

Also, found a pic of some audi ttrs wheels on a car same colour as mine.
