🚗✨ New Year 2026 is here – aRd Technik! ✨🚗
Hello all,
As we step into 2026, I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone for your continued support and trust over the years. Your business truly means a lot.
Reflecting on 2025, we’ve been a little quieter on social media—but for a good reason. Behind the scenes, we’ve been focused on some special MK4 platform builds, from clusters and steering wheel conversions to ECU support. It’s been a pleasure working with you to help achieve your individual goals and bring your vehicles to the level you envisioned.
Looking ahead, I’m currently developing and experimenting with new platforms, including clusters, ECUs, and more features aimed at delivering an expanded range of OEM+ solutions for the PQ35 (MK5 / MK6) platform.
I’ve also had many enquiries about a ColorMFA group buy for 2026. I’m happy to move forward with this; however, due to changes in cost of living, customs, and tax costs, pricing may vary. I’ll keep everyone updated with full details in due course.
Progress continues on my MK2 Golf 16v GTI – Project Oakie, with plans to showcase it during 2026. Like the MK4, it’s a true labour-of-love project—a 90s-inspired build with period-correct OEM+ options. As most of you know, nothing ever stays standard.
To all my long-standing and new customers, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you. At aRd Technik, I take pride in delivering high-quality workmanship, products, and service—and I look forward to continuing this journey with you.
If you’ve had work carried out by me, I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a review on the page. Your feedback helps support the business and showcase the work.
Here’s to an exciting 2026 ahead! 🚗✨
Cheers
Ray

Thank you again for the birthday wishes.
I’ve spend my time on a few road trips collecting parts that friends have kept for me. Years seem to fly by.
Big shout to my friend Mark Rother for a few mk2 golf goodies he kept for me. Thank you
Si Ozzy for my Alpine fix. Thank you again for keeping those safe for me.
Thank you Jonny Handley for gearbox swap on the mk2. Few more bits that need his magic
Big shout out to Gas N Gears Ltd. for building me a gearbox
Blown away with the workmanship.
Good catching up with Martin Emment
Long day but worth the drive. I’m still rocking the mk4, love or hate it but still delivers the goods
Anyone interested in the details of the box

Sprinter vents are a familiar sight to many of us, but this one holds a special significance. It was one of the very first modifications I ever made to my build, and it’s more than just an upgrade—it’s a tribute to the history of the mod itself. I had it installed many years ago by a talented guy, back in a time when social media wasn’t a thing, and forums like UK-MKIVs.net were the go-to spaces for MKIV enthusiasts to connect and share their projects.
This vent carries more than just functionality; it’s a piece of my journey. Every time I see it, I’m reminded of the respect I have for both the craftsmanship of the mod and the camaraderie of the community that I inspired back then. Some mods aren’t just about improving your car—they carry memories, stories, and a connection to a shared passion.
Over the years, my approach to mods—blending functionality with an OEM+ aesthetic—has inspired many builds in the community. Through my work on the MKIV, I’ve strived to keep that balance, showing that even small upgrades like this vent can have a lasting impact on both form and function.
