Default My "blue M&M" coloured commuter car!

I bought this car last weekend, it's a VW Golf GT TDI PD 150.

Only 3 years old with high mileage, but the 18" Audi RS4 alloys, tinted windows and backbox made up for it!

I spoke to Dyney last night, and we (the Tang family) are heading to the Sussex Meet on the 5th February. I just have to decide which car to take!

There's a Golf meet on the 12th February in Walton on Thames! http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forums/90/ShowForum.aspx

Andy, very nice
I was a member on UK-MKIVS.NET when I had my Golf V5, hence my username
Its funny how times change though, cos back then, when I was one of the first to have ever fitted 18" Audi RS4 alloys, I was completely slated for it

Nice one Cliff.

Funnily enough, you are talking to a man who was told that anything over 300bhp in a UK car would blow it up, and to forget about getting it to 350bhp. A few years ago now, but no one bats an eyelid now at that sort of tuning!

Thanks Pat, not my doing though. Apparently the owner before last was a VAG anarok, so everything was done tastefully and correctly.

All it needs now is a little lowering (25-35mm) and a Revo remap to give it 190bhp & 300lbft!

I'm sorry Ira, have we met???

Of course I'm getting it chipped!!

I got the car at a bargain price, due the colour, it being a Euro import and the mileage (68k), so it was well under budget. So much so, that it would be rude not to Revo it I think it will give 190bhp and 300lb/ft.

Not much needs doing to the Golf, but I still need to lower and tint the Forester!
