My Golf Mk4 R32 in Moonlight Blue

[NickP]

Herrrro!

Thought it was about time i signed up on here as im a regular browser :)

Picked up my R32 just over a year ago from Weymouth (United Kingdom) which was about an 8 hour drive from where i live in North Yorkshire.

It came almost standard apart from the previous owner fitting a Milltek cat-back system and AutoTech induction kit aswell as H+R 20mm lowering springs and 20mm rear wheel spacers, and half leather Konig seats fitted. Oh and rear tie arms, EBC dimpled and grooved discs, baffled sump and de-locked and smoothed door handles.

Hmm guess it aint that standard lol

oh and its in Moonlight Blue, think only 57 were produced in this colour in the UK.

Heres how she looked the day after i got her...

Had quite a few people telling me how nice the car sounds but when your driving it you don't really hear it properly so got a GoPro HD camera and mounted it on the boot lid to make this video, doesn't sound too bad!

Decided to do a bit of colour matching in the engine bay, so sprayed the engine cover and battery box in Moonlight Blue

was getting a little bit bored of the aristo wheels as my car wasn't getting any attention at shows so decided to save up and patiently wait for some alloys to come up that i had wanted since owning my Golf GTI (before the R32).

so last week i finally got some...
