  1. If your painting it on a budget then just go for 2 pack solid red from the gun if you want it to last then you are better of painting in base coat colour followed by a clear laquer on top better in the long term mind you that's just by opinion some people are still die hard traditional solid red fans which is fair enough if you are painting it your self good luck in what ever you decide

  21. After driveing another members mk4 tennis it made me realise how noisey and rough our ride felt the mk4 felt as smooth silk so spoke to a mechanic at work he said it required the following both lower wish bones ,anti roll bar bushes ,and for good measure a rear wheel bearing and a rocker cover casket it cost £90 for bits and £80 labour the car feels completey different it has totally transformed it a real joy to drive it now feels the same as my mates mk4 the only regret is we didn't get it done sooner we have had her nearly 2 years so money well spent
