My Mk4 Golf

Its nought special, buts it's my baby!

Owned her since Nov 2007, bought standard.

First came the wheels, then exhaust & spots



then came the tints & rear lights



Would like 2 lower her next, no other major plans!

always been a fan of more doors...lovely colour too, suits mk4's really well oooo, what engine is it?

like it .. it looks like a nice tidy car to start a good project with

i quite like it, looks realy clean aswell withminimul paint damage over the years so its a thumbs up on the bodywork. recon you need to deck it aswell,maby not low enough to rip your bumpers of with pebles but deafinatly lower than stock hight, other than that its a tidy car to start with mate.

haha i was waiting to see how long before some1 mentions the imfamouse words ' lower it '

+1

Lowerin is deffo on the cards if u read da post fully

Never done b4 because up until end of last year it was every day car, now thanks to a zafira its my toy

As for starting with modifing, thats about it, i like it that way and i dont have much in the way of spare readies to throw at it as i now have a 3rd child and they deff come first

wel u can pick up coil-overs relatively cheap nowadays or just a simple set of springs...

third child on the way i feel sorry for u i can hardly afford to pay parents rent let alone children best of luck to you and i'm looking forward to pictures of a slammed mk4 on the forum

Thanks and lol - been there with payin parents rent, a whole £10 a week lol, 3rd child already here, now 8wks old and the reason i took the golf off the road 4 the winter

my bad,shouldnt have read so quick, just so excited with another mk4 on the site lol, good luck with the kids dude. the good thingabout a dub is that if the funds arnet available, its still cool coz its adub lol, but ye loweringit would bea good port of call. as and when you are going to do it will you be going for coilovers or springs and uprated dampers?

every ones been ther lol and £10 a week lucky u it's a hole £15 a week i pay lol

Exactly


Prob just go with springs - not got enough power to worry about it cornering lol

not enuf power then the better excuse for coilies if ya hant got much much on the straights then you've gotta make it up on the bends

u got a very gd point there, a m8 said he brinin me a kit to the meet 2morrow - lets hope its the real deal

yers i love fast cornering ..

cant afford my own car for the road yet so i sometimes get temp cover insurance on my mums motor and its not particularly fast so i have no choice but to make up time in bends

yeah but that doesnt work in it either

just cus urz is like a go-gart but mums motor dint do too bad lol

yeah but if you had anymore body roll you would have taken your mirror off against the road.
not to mention the understeer.

it wasnt too bad though for a standard car.

i dint think it was too bad and yer i could've opend a window and lit a match with that body role

Havin kids is no excuse for riding high I have 3 kids, no job and I can (just about) afford to drive around in a lowered golf

i'd be better off if i didn't have a job lol

i also have morgage and csa 2 pay!

it was never about the money anyway, i have lowered my cars in the past and did not find it very practical with kids when our roads are so shit!

I have to admit I'd never change my set up for coilovers on mine cuz I've been there and done that and its too tempting to go as low as possible, and my tracking gets knocked out if I go over the smallest pothole as it is, Lincolnshire's roads are in a shocking state!

Ooo great another mk4! Looks great!
Paintwork looks immaculate, love the colour
