Really like them despite not having the best 'stance' but I don't want any rubbing on track so they'll be fine.

Gloss black, if you don't want them to stand out. 

hammerite direct to metal gloss black would work fine. 

Or halford sell caliper paint, if it any good I don't know I've never used it. 

 

I am tempted by gloss black. As theyre only 312 brakes so nothing really special like porsche brakes which I would want to show off.

I think the discs pretty much filling the wheels is enough.

Made an undertray to protect the piping I used for MAF relocation. Quite pleased with it for a first attempt and should do the job untill I get something made from metal sheet

Added a Speedhunters banner, not to everyone's tastes. It's kinda straight and central.

So I have decided to change up the golf a little over the next few months. Having come to terms with the fact I doubt I will do track days in it I want to use it more and make it a little more comfortable. So I am going for a subtle amp/sub install, false floor and air ride. Then tidy some bits of paint up and drive it.

Made a start on the sub install.

 

Started with a frame.

Made a sub box

In place

Plan is to lay the false floor over the top and carpet it with as close to OEM as possible. Looking to have a hinged section in the middle maybe with some other trick bits.

Then air ride will sit on rear seat base. May find another set of rear carpets as mine went in the skip.
