What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

Also got a wheel alingment last weekend and now time to get my battery tested to see if I should get a newie this weekend.

Next will be a good engine detail and all over detail.

Hopefully after I finish all this someone will buy it and take it to a good home

debadged the gti. looks much nicer imo

So far the invision kit has worked well but the polish they supply is still to abbrasive for the second last step so I had some meguiars plast x polish that I used aswell which made a massive difference to the end product

Forgot to give you a call back about this! Saw this missed call but was at work. I'll note this for when i do it

Left half of the underside of my car on canterbury road drive way yesterday...
Some little old lady had a good laugh at my expense though :(

Also picked up some Oettinger pedals and a set of brand new OEM roof racks... only found out when i got home that the roof racks are for a 2 door golf :emo_baghead:

Anyone want a set?

Bought a replacement centre console armrest for my GTI and a bumper vent. Finally have all the bits,
just need some good weather to paint. Not holding my breath!

Ok, so I bought a replacement centre armrest for the centre console from a wrecker.
Came out of a Bora that had been cut in half.

Surprised me that the armrest is actually shorter on the Bora than my GTI.
Since I only needed the metal reinforment, I went about pulling the Bora unit apart - abeit shabby from being out in the elements
(No glass on the half car)
Even though the reinforment is the same size, the mounting screws were different (torque instead of phillips heads),
the plastic and liner is a better quality on the Bora unit.

Perhaps the Bora was an earlier model and they went cheaper in the later models? (My GTI is an 02)
Also there is no view window on the passenger side to access the the mounting bolt.

Anyways all converted now, just surprised that there could be so many differences.

Ordered a Dieselgeek short shifter today :)

Went for a cold hills run last night and took photos.....here's one I prepared...not 100% but good enough? lol

Awesome pic.

Are those stock headlights. They look mighty bright!!

Stock yes. Exposure for the shot created the brightness.....

I washed and oiled my air filter.
I hate doing this. Being a cylinder makes it a PITA.
I found that you can get a aerosol can for the oil, which I rekon would make life a lot easier as the oil I have is so thick.
