my 4 motion r32 golf hybrid with added boost ;)

the car started life as a 2.8l vr6 4motion with every option apart from sat nav. at some point somebody hit a rock and smashed the sump off the motor it got written off as cat d.
the previous owner to me bought it and a scrap r32 golf then proceeded to swap everything mechanical apart from the brakes
ie engine wishbones steering rack suspension arbs etc i bought it from him like that about 12 months ago

iv got some updates iv ordered a set of ecs stage 5 brakes these have 355mm 2 piece disks and porsche cayene 6 pot callipers and are ****** huge!

mods so far are
kw v3 suspension
nuespeed front and rear arbs
3 strut braces
poly bushes thoughout
75% reduced throw gearshift

boost gauge oil temp and oil pressure gauge
dubpower prototype big bore and port matched 6 branch exhaust manifold
full custom 3" exhaust system with big bore custom decat pipe

I agree.

oh it comes up nice when i clean it properly

rear looks lower than it is because the front nearside wheel is on a kurb but no other wheels are iv had to get genuine r32 wheels on because i couldnt get the superleggeras to fit over the brakes

Nice!

Properly would = it looking awesome all the time!

Get a tube of Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel and use that for a few weeks, I promise you it will bring out the blackness and shine in those trim panels.

Nice paint!

il bear that in mind
but trust me round here especially in this weather its filthy within 2 days of cleaning it the shape of the booft creates low pressure which sucks a lot of crap into it (also adds drag but thats another topic lol)
