Ah well that is quite promising. Oh but i love those R32 recaros, although the seats will be the last of my changes. What about an R32 steering wheel? Hmm do you know what happened to the drivers side mirror? I cant make any promises about the R32 badging...

No idea what happened to the mirror. Probably side swiped something unless it got vandalised?? the glass and housing is completely gone the flat bracket where the motor for the glass mounts is all that is left.... If you were serious, get him to have it replaced or knock extra off because of it. The rest of the car seemed fine.

Not sure where you'd source the R seats from. The Mk4's are rare enough as it is. Dare say you'll be paying through the nose for them if you find a set... Leave the steering wheel. Money could be spent better else where.

Ah true, must have done it after he posted up the pics on carsales. Im sure it wont cost that much to repair? Yeah i thought they would be rare. Im actually considering this now haha. Cant afford an R32

This is an awsome MK4, Id love it!

If your after an R32 kit, PM Alex (Intensem1), he will be able to help you out with something Im sure

Please dont try and make it an R32 though, it isnt one.... Its like putting GTR stickers on a non GTR..

I'm going to hold you to that

Hahaha dam you. I don't see how this would hold its value better than an R32, because if you were in the market for a 6 cylinder golf, why would you buy this over and R32?

The R32 seats aren't recaro's, they're made by Konig and I disagree about the wheel. It's much better than the standard MK4 3 spoke.

I agree with you on the wheel. It's a hell of a lot meatier than the standard 3-spoke, it also has some nice shape to it (as an example - scallops on the outside of the rim for just below your hands when you hold it at the correct 9-3 position), both of which combine to make it a much nicer wheel to hold.

You can pick up a good condition 2nd hand R32 wheel for ~$500, or pay about $800 for a newie landed from overseas.
