I bought my 2001 reg 1.8T golf in blue anthracite pearl at the beginning of July, after a bit of research i found out that it was quite a good spec with the winter kit and full oem nav with fis clocks even though they were screwed.

i don't have any pictures of the car from when i bought it but it was pretty horrible, I gave it a good polish to see if i could make it a bit prettier and i gave a coat of black paint to the wheels as they were corroding quite a bit.

My main thing to get sorted first was the clocks, so I contacted the guys at Vagwerkes who sorted me out with a set of full FIS Bora sport clocks fully coded but i had to wire my navi into the main socket as the clocks were a newer type.

Much better looking clocks than the standard ones IMO@bigbossw

I replaced the rear beam bushes within a week of owning the car but didn't take any pictures i went for fabia VRS bushes.
