Mk3 Mods..whats been done to yours?

[bombsquad21]

I started thinking, whats next for the Golf. Apart from the in-car monitor the mods have been pretty slow. So I decided to make a list for my own benefit. Its sort of in order time wise..have a go! It can be eye opening..

1. Remove dodgy pin stripe fitted by dealer.
2. Replace GL tailights with VR6 ones (thanks TassieGTi).
3. Paint front grill badge black.
4. Install Ipod and fit JVC inch speakers.
5. Replace standard headlights with Angel Eyes.
6. Intall JVC DVD head unit (no monitor). Remove Ipod.
7. Mod standard airbox.
8. Paint rear VW badge black.
9. Remove GOLF and GL badges.
10. Fit 17's with 205x40xr17 Toyo Proxes.
11. Fit eibach lowered springs (with standard shocks).
12. Install VR6 front lip.
13. Fit front and rear seats from VR6.
14. Fit clear front bumper indicators.
15. Fit clear/smoked INPRO side markers.
16. Paint (badly) rear roof spolier, then have it repainted properly by smash repairs after some one bruised my bumper.
17. Remove suitcase muffler.
18. Remove headliner.
19. Install 7inch monitior in drivers sunvisor..
20. Uninstall 7inch monitor and install it above rear vision mirror.
21. ?????? But I guess I should replace the headliner soon..oh and install the lowering caps I bought from RayRay..

Please dont make fun of my lack of engine work...

do u have any pictures of the monitors about rear vision mirror? also the sun visor 1's? i wanna get the sun visor 1's but dunno how to get all d wires down to the headunit.

[bombsquad21]

no, but i'll take some. The monitior should have a loom, so a single yellow rca out of the head unit, plus earth and power and your done. All my wiring is behind the a pillar and under the dash. Do you have the monitor yet?

[BL33SU]

ah k.. but dont u need to go thru the roof to the pilars?

havnt bought them yet but will have maybe 1 sun visor, 1 monitor in d boot and 1 on d dash sumwhere
