Black GTi, Fresh From The Body Shop

[Luntz90]

where did you buy the front bumper? is it oem or ebay replacement?

loving the moredoor so far. i have one myself

Isn't the wiper motor issue something to do with the Earth connection on the drivers head light? Might be something to look into

Not sure, I did try earthing the wiper direct to battery but still nothing, I will have to have a longer look into it once the car is back from bodyshop

Its an Ebay one, Quite a good fit bud did need a little fettling to sit right.

Car is in Body shop & progress is now underway.

Love those wheels!!! 

What sizes of wheels and tyres did you go for if you don't mind me asking?

Hope all goes well at the bodyshop

Cheers, I wasnt sure of the Black on Black look.

They are 8 front & 9 rear with 225/40/18 Tyre's

[ChrisGT]

Thanks for the reply, they look spot on. Think because they have the polished lip then it helps break up the black so it doesn't look too much.

I recently bought an Xtrons Nav Radio but as the car is still in the bodyshop I have not got round to fitting it yet, Went into work today & we have brought in a Leon with this fitted in it





I asked him very nicely if I could swap it for my Xtrons one & he has said yes

I have bought a few bits this week.

R32 Style rear Valance



R32 Style Exhaust



Hi mate, love your progress so far. Where abouts did you get the r32 style exhaust? Is that also an ebay special? Looks nice
Cheers, Sam

I have been told the car should be back with me later this week (Best get saving up to pay for the work then  )

Goodluck

[chrisr]

Seriously starting to fall out with my golf now, got it back from paint shop today & fitted new wiper motor as it blew from fitting hid kit, the wipers still don't work even with removing hid kit and replacement motor!!

[chrisr]

Got the car back from body shop.

Quick reflection shot



It is still waiting for its final polish once paint has settled a bit, I will go back down on my next day off (As long as I get the wipers sorted & the MOT done before then)

[ChrisGT]

Looks like a very nice finish

Looks like the VW specialist may have found the problem with the wipers, they say it all points to the body control module.
There is a feed from the switch, the car recognises the bonnet is closed, all fuses / relays are ok.
The module is seeing the feed but not sending it to the wipers.

[chrisr]

Well it wasnt the body control module that had gone but the rain / light sensor that was at fault.

It now has working wipers & a fresh 12 Months mot with no advisories after needing 2 cv boots and a bulb
