MattyA Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 A few updates:The Good:The Golf is booked in at Revolution (Gateshead) on the 25th April to have coil overs fitted, went for the Eibach Pro Street Kit.The Bad:Bought a new GTI bumper (which was meant to fit any Golf) but nope, does it f**k, so Ill have to make a trip to the dealership for new front panel etc etcThe Ugly:Bonnet catch has final given up, so had to go Hobo Style and cable tie it shut, did I mention that if the bonnet is not correctly shut, the windscreen wipers don't work!??Starting to think the Golf is unlucky, so far I have broken/replaced:- Front grill- Accelerator pedal- Windscreen- No end of clips both interior/exterior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyA Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 P.S. how did you manage to break the accelerator The sensor failed, bought replacement from dealership for £69 then afterwards realised I could have bought the R Line version from vag parts for less.
