That is an awesome looking car there Jeff.

It will look smoking with Mods! I think it looks awesome just as it is now.

I want to do a few minor mods on my 03 Golf nothing too drastic seeing as my car isn't a show car and just my daily commuter.

Congrats on the new wheels, all the best.

Re: My New 06 Golf

So went over to the parents place for dinner tonite, Dad wanted to take the car for a spin so we hopped in and went for a tear. Get back and our conversation went a little like this:

Dad: Fun ride, you sure its only got 100 hp?
Me: yep, I'm sure.
Dad: Cool, well I think you did well. Good purchase.
Me: Thanks, I think so too.
Dad: Black though huh? Isn't it gonna show every little nick and scratch?
Me: Yeah, well, I take care of my rides pretty well, not too worried. I mean I've already waxed and polished so it's good through the winter.
Dad: Sounds good, but I mean look here on the fender, it's only dusty and it looks like its got a, wait a sec...
me: what?
Dad: you should look at this....
Me: Oh f***.

Yep, some a** at the safeway parking lot (the only place I've been in the last day and a half, since I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT) must not have been watching what they were going and scraped my rear fender. Nothing too major, it'll take a machine polish to get it out I'm sure (I tried doing it manually today with some good meguiars rubbing compound - helped a lil bit but not much). Right above the mud guard on the drivers side rear fender, right below the seam between fender and bumper. about an inch wide and 3-4 inches long, just a bunch of really fine scratches. S. O. B.

(I'm a little p*ssed off right now, and it totally wrecked my thanksgiving.)

Hope everyone else had a better thanksgiving than I did....

Big Brake Kit
Audi Short Shifter
Strut tower brace
Sway bars (Front, Rear)

Exterior:
Caractere MKIV body kit (Front Euro Bumper, Valance, Skirts, Rear Wing)
18" wheels, either polished or chrome...but I am open to suggestions...
Kamei Badgeless Grille (Aleks...)
Lowered suspension (had H&R CO's on my MK3 Jetta, will probably just do lowered springs this time)

Like I said, if anyone has any suggestions, the only think I am really unsure about right now is wheels. I have little to no idea what I want to do here, or how much I want to spend.

Anyways..just looked at the clock, time to go to bed....

Re: My New 06 Golf

Hey Jeff,
I'm glad you took my advice to join the club. There are a lot of very knowledgable poeple on this board as far as diesel tuning goes. Did your delivery go well? I noticed you decided against doing the suspension prior to picking up your golf. Let me know if I can help you with anything? Glad to see you posting. In case you have no idea who this is, its Derek from the dealership!! Hope to see you at a few meets!
Cheers
Derek

Re: My New 06 Golf

Delivery went ok, suspension parts were in new jersey and byron didn't know how much install would be so i've put that on hold, i'll wait till spring instead for the time being...i'll probably see you this afternoon - i need to pop by anyways...
