Wanting to smooth my car & get a bora front end, but I put that on hold as I'm changing to a 1.8 Turbo GTI, so I'm on the lookout..

Going to have a look at this tomorrow, would have to change the rear lights & exhaust though!

went to have a look today, wasn't very good. exterior was ok but engine bay was proper manky and loads of interior parts were worn/knackered, insurance was 4000 fyi.

i was thinking today, i'm going to upgrade my engine to the spec of a TDI 150 (mine's a 110) by adding a bigger turbo, bigger injectors, remapping etc.

Looked and okay car but if the engine bay wasn't good, I wouldn't go for it. Was it your car which was the gold golf? That's a nice ride, no need to get a new one. :)

the front plate will be illegal due to spacing and font size laws, plus it's not reflective

I could put a square numberplate in english font and it'd be legal, but I'm putting a square numberplate in german FE font which isn't.. it is reflective though :P

square plates are legal hence why they are on 4x4s, imports etc.
