Re: My 1st car
well you couldnt have picked a better car to play with lol, there absolutely s##t loads of stuff out there for golfs, and youve got a million Audi/VW wheels to choose from if your sticking with the VAG look

Re: My 1st car
bought another little thing today
edit:
well after all the crap weather we've had, i finally managed to get it cleaned and tried my 1st ever polish and wax so 2 hours later its looking nice and shiny THEN it rains so thought i would go see how the wax is doing and took a pic:
dont think thats too bad for my first attempt.

Re: My 1st car
Nice job there's nothing more satisfying than a good polish and waxing transforms a car completely i hate the weather changes so fast

Re: My 1st car
these things happen mate, all too often.
As long as the wing mirror itself is okay then you may be able to just buy a replacement cover for a 10 or 20 quid
either way places such as GSF car parts sell new wing mirrors cheap enough, what else is damaged??

Re: My 1st car
That stereo is amazing I like that !
If you ever come to sell your rear lights please let me know I'm after a set of standards
Great base to start modding thoe
