haha cheers for that mate. I really like the multispokes idea

No, but 17" wheels on silly low profile tyres and cheap suspension will ruin it.

Little visual stuff will get it looking nice - but have a think about the suspension and wheels.

It's a common misconception that big wheels and drastic lowering will improve the car - in most cases, unless you're spending big money and really know what you're doing, it'll do the opposite of what you're trying to achieve.

Find me 3 examples of me having a dig at centos/cinqs and I will not class your post as utter ****......

the VX sei thread, where you didnt even read the thread properly and made stupid comments regarding its handling and power without even reading the facts

And you dug up the thread where you had problems about 6 months - year later after original incident to stir the pot a bit, i commented on that thread asking why you had dug this thread up but got no reply

Thats two

But back on topic now........

you have said that in so many different ways now its actually really boaring :bang:

No. It's not a contradiction at all. Steve or whatever his name is clearly stated that modifying your car "dramatically" lowers the selling on value. I was proving that it doesn't. I never ever once said that I made a profit on the car. Which I didn't, hell not even close! I wasn't stating that you make your money back at all...

Is that not one and the same thing then at the end of the day? You added value, yes, I agree with that, £550 of it. But what was the price you had to pay to get that? A lot more.

Again you're wrong! The E is the base model, not the S with no electric windows, no heated wing mirrors, no central locking, no electric adjustable wing mirrors, no alarm So maybe you should have done a little more research before exclaiming that statement?! flol

OK, so not absolutely base level, my mistake. My mk4 knowledge is Bora based, where the S is the base model. There is no Bora E AFAIK.

And that sir is what it boils down to

Not at all. I was being sincere. I might not agree with everything you said, but I'm a big enough boy to respect other's opinions.

I love 3 door Golfs and Boras, but not the 5 door. Just like I think 5 door mk2 Puntos are awful to look at.

However, it is good advice. You don't have to get the absolutely most expensive suspension setup but you may well regret buying the absolute cheapest.

not saying it isn't

in fact earlier on i said it was good advice and i still think that but its getting a bit repetitive now

OK then, we'll put that bit to bed, shall we?

Technically neither related to cinq's at all but well done you tried.

I'm pretty sure I gave a reply.

Take this to PM if you want to talk

its his car to do what he likes with it

 

[karbineftw]

Update!
De-badged pics in Netto car park FTW
and just a few progress pics as I fitted the RCL today, was fairly easy. Gotta love the build quality of VW's regarding the doors, compared to the Mk1. Proper sturdy buggers.
Dad gave me his Audi keyring that I bought him as one of his Fathers day presents! Lmao. I know it's not VW but it's atleast VAG LOL

 

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

i like the remote central locking and the debadging is a nice touch is there a recess behind the big vw badge?

 

[karbineftw]

Unfortunately yes! Lots of people opt for the smaller "sharan" badge as it fits nicely in the recess left. I'm going to buy one soon, Not sure what colour to do it though!

 

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

ahh thats a shame would look good smoothed fully,but ifs its a smaller badge it should look ok,are u gonna debadge the front and take the side strips off

 

[karbineftw]

I'm not going to debadge the front, but maybe spray the badges and the grill black. Well not me, my Dad gets small things done at a spray shop for free so will take it there most probably

 

[JFL]

do it purple to **** rolf off :devil:

 

[karbineftw]

Bahaha. :'D

I think he would personally come and find me, and that would be very scary :'(
