Keep the kit white Sam Like you said, its different from the rest. The black mirors go well, but imo i'd leave the bumpers ect white
cheers rich im going too Might get another set of bumpers see what its like, i striped some paint off the old mirrors today and it took forever to do just the top very messy. i might put the other mk2 bumpers iv got to see what its like but its a lot of work if i hate the look of them
Bit of an update been away in France at le Mans Classic so spent the week before getting ready for that so got some sad man bits done Cleaned my wheel arched up took me a good few hours to do them all sorry no before pics took the petrol neck out and cleaned were you cant see i do that alot looking tidy now New door pins now my doors shut on the first push New wheel nut caps some guy on eBay selling these for 15 claiming they are obsolete form vw?? vw price 4.99 thank you very much. fresh BBS caps off my mk3 New gear gaiter and the golf ball gear knob from my old golf 10million edition (cheers Dave) as i said very sad new rear lights should be here next week
its not sad, its all the littel tounches that make the whole car a great example..or maybe im sad too ha. keep the updates comming
Quick update Got my new lights today 18 posted bargain of the week They give the car the real 80's retro look even more so than the BBS kit Old Lights New ones after a cut and polish with the polisher i think they really make it stand out now comments welcome
Noooooooooooo! they look all kinds of wrong as they didn't come out until way into the nineties, even if they were eighties they still look wrong
OEM rear lights are more 80's IMO Refitting the rear wiper with it parking upright would be a good retro touch too Finally I'd retire the number plates and get some pressed metal plain replacements. Smarter and more retro
yes the number plates are going on the shelf when i can be without the car for a day to get the hole behind it welded up
Dan you do not have a leg to stand on Mr B Reg Big Bumpers and the only thing 80's on your car is the quarter light glass.. the standard lights look all wrong on a GTI And iv had comments all day about how much better they look from the standard ones
Not much to update car passed its M.O.T on Tuesday done a few more bits to it will update with pics soon
dont think the new lights are to bad just think they make a big impact against the white compared to the old ones. still looks a minter though!
Been a while since i updated Not been doing to much just enjoying having a mk2 as a daily Finally got around to getting some new tyres for the old girl, aAs this wet weather i have been skating around the back lanes Got myself some Pirelli P6000 tyres they cost about 45 each which is well over half what i would spent on the old anniversary tyres, so a gave it a full clean today wash wax ect. Really make a big difference Also found a guy that dose the old Das Auto stickers And got some Hella spot light stickers i think they are a nice touch Gave the inside a good going over still need a drive seat and door cards so hard to finde good ones Comments Welcome as always
Noooooo - not dirty P6000's! [:^(] Looking good aside from them though; as Toopay says it's the little things that make it. Still undecided on the rear lights; although they do certainly clean the car up nicely by getting rid of the red. Keep up the good work
whats wrong with them they are the P600 replacements i dont have stupid money to spend on tyres still got to tax the thing next week
