What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

Tears of joy.... happy tears

excuse the brick under the driver front wheel - i broke it with another brick trying to move it (and almost smashed a newly "painted" rim in the process). Needs to be shot to really judge gaps etc.
Do i spray the black plastic mesh grill inserts another colour? Dark cherry red or something?

Leave them black i reckon, Dark cherry red would look nice, but you would need other things on the car to be cherry red too

Leave them black. If you do them in dark cherry red, I will vomit on your car.

Bora looks good but we need more pictures of that BMW 840(?) in the background I think.

Went for a long drive last night and at one point started getting a noise, went for about 5 minutes then stopped. This morning I went out to check what is was and found this




Any ideas how this is even possible? I checked all possible bits that may have been hitting the wheel and there is nothing with scrapes or dents or marks at all. The wheel was on tight and all other wheels are fine.

Pulled out the original factory radio to fit a deck I've had for ages but saw that the aerial connection was different.
I think I need one of these:
Ryda Car Audio - Aerpro AP3421 Antenna European Adaptor($9.95)
I read somewhere that jaycar had a pin connection for the new deck but can't find the thread, does anyone have a link ?
Or do people just snip off the factory connection

you'll probably end up with rubbish reception without it. I found this link from uk-mkiv's really useful:

and bought it from ebay:

I bought mine from supercheap, was 4.95 i think. It wasnt that whole big thing, just a 3-4cm male end straight to female end. Works brilliant.

Thanks brissy bora, will see if supercheap have them, if not straight to Ryda
