Dubster's Vento

[stephen8512]

I got the Philips Crystal Visions. I believe they are 4300K. THey also come with parkers too so you can swap them out when you do the bulbs. The bulbs are H4. I have them in my Vento and they look great and give great light output

Hoodlift, I bought mine from eBay. If you search "mk3 golf hood struts" or something they should come up. Got mine for around $30 bucks delivered

Cheers mate Ill look into that!

Managed to score a black centre console from a wreckers the other week, got around to cleaning it and installing it. Looks so much better!

Black is always better, beige just reminds me of computer cases from the 90s, shudder.

Been researching diys on vwvortex to do little changes to the vento as my main priority is to get my mk4 back on the road and also going to be buildng a house in the near future so plan is spend as little as possbile until everythings right then I can think about wheels, coils and tint!

Plan is to get grille and mirrors painted
Thinking joey mod on the headlights and replace the bulbs too
Replace the LCA bushing
Wheel bearing
Hood bra.....in no particular order haha

Just a little update, started my joey mod headlights! Looks so much better now! Stuart suggested was to use a brush to paint which I should have done rather than using tape and taking chrome off. But still it does look good!

oh nice!! take a pic when you have it back on the car!

[dubster99]

Not the best pic but they look so good in person and such a big difference from stock!

[stephen8512]

Looks great! Would it be possible to get some better photos?

Looking forward to seeing the end results mate! Good stuff!

[dubster99]

Yea stephen Ill see what I can do!

Cheers mate! Things will be slow and small for a while since the house is more important atm so Im just trying to find small things to change. Tint and sound system needs to happen though!
