Lent this to my mate and put my golf back on the road for a few months, but today I picked it back up
Gave it a good wash at my mates work, took it for tracking/alignment doing and fitted the boot spoiler going to Danny2009 on Tuesday to get the steelies done white, coilies fitted and beam lowered and then a proper tune on the bosch/T2 setup while I collect the bits for the fmic setup. Then I can put the td04 on that's sat under my bed pissing oil on the floor lol

Danny did his magic today, coilies wound down as far as they'll go on front (helpers still in) and beam adjusted to match
Strut brace didn't fit unfortunately and didn't have enough time to paint the steelies so arranging another day soon
Next steps are fit the 'proper' front bumper and black mask the headlights

Took the lenses off and black masked them today, and fitted the proper front bumper.
