New owner from London! Picked up the beast on saturday, Shame about the british weather as haven't been able to enjoy it due to the rain but heres some pics! Nice to meet you all
Thanks guys for the warm welcome, Plans at the moment are to just enjoy it and keep it looking at its best.
I waited quite a while for the spec on the vehicle and managed to get nearly everything i wanted. Specifically the diamond white paint & contrasting interior.
Future plans may be steady for the moment but this is a vehicle I'm planning on keeping for a very long time now, My R32 Golf may be for sale possibly next year.
Long term plans include,
Eurocharged remap once i get used to the power currently
A few cosmetic enhancements maybe? Carbon Fibre rear diffuser, Seat backings.
So holy thread revival, It has been almost 4 years with the beast! Quite a few changes but i will let you all see the pics. Surprisingly in these few years the only thing i haven't yet done is any exhaust/tuning. Mainly cosmetics but i absolutely love the car as OEM as possible.
Bit of an update of things which i have carried out. Nearly all were done myself on the drive
Front carbon OEM lip insert
Carbon Mirrors
Carbon Roof Spoiler
OEM Carbon Rear Spoilers
OEM style carbon rear diffuser
Gloss black DRLs painted
Gloss black grill surround (Wrapped)
Genuine MB 507 Bonnet with black vents (Insulation swapped)
Looks good! I bet that OEM 507 hood wasn't too cheap...
Thank you man, It wasn't and the worst thing! I actually bought 2 from MB. The first one lasted around 4 weeks! My sister reversed her car knocking my motorbike onto the car. The handlebar of the bike left a horrible dent and i was in no way confident with letting anyone do the paintwork/repair as i didn't want filler in the hood! In the end i sold the bonnet bare and purchased a new one less all the accesories!

Beautiful car!
Thank you man, Im going to write up a thread as over the years i did tons of things on it and i have pictures of everything. I did notice that there are way more guides on the 204s now so i probably won't get detailed but none the less why not!
