Ad's project thread.
Right thought id start a project thread (finally). so here is my car as i picked it up in sept 2010.

It was compleatly standard with 54,000 miles chilli pack and full black leather interior with brushed dash and 3 spoke steering wheel, oh and shitty s-spokes and massive wheel gap! i want to go for a euro/dubbed look but with performance chucked in for gd measure, as i enjoy track days.
A little bit about me im 21 and from oxford. iv not been on the forum too long but been hooked and on the web site everyday since i joined . im a bathroom designer/salesman in oxford (for now) my first car was a mk4 golf that i modded slightly manly superficial stuff like smoothed the bodywork,handles etc respray, bbs wheels, and coil-overs.(will try and find a pic at some point) thats enough boring stuff.
so the first thing i set about doing was putting together a wish list:
Under the Bonnet.
17/15% pully
dave.f fitted
GRS/GP intercooler
440 injectors
Remap
Interior
Alacantra dash top,dash,pillars, etc
Front buckets
sued steringwheel
short shift purchased
possible cage
Exterior
de-chrome partially done
coilovers
wheels and tires
exhaust
rear wiper delete
smoothed front bumper
offset front jap style number plate
To get things started i thought id start to de-chrome everything as it costs very little if you do it yourself.
so i started stripping the chrome off that i wanted painting and rubbed them down with sandpaper. it felt very wrong to be sanding shiny bits from my car id just spent a lot of money on! lol but it was defiantly the right thing to do.
