My Car... Just a couple of things
«

Ok so i know i don't own a Gti, but this forum is so much better than other mk5 golf forums i'm on.
I bought my 1.6SE back in April and as soon as i got it, the modifying bug hit me!
As soon as i got it home I had to detail it (being slightly obsessed and having a friend to help me)
The pictures make the colour look a bit strange its actually Sage Green which is more of a grey colour.
After this i had to start making changes,
1st came the carbon vinyl
I Covered all the dash and door parts and around the gearstick,
Next came the Gti Headlights
I then had more carbon so i decided to experiment with covering the b-posts which came out quite well i thought.
And then yesterday I picked up my new wheels, They are BBS CH Reps which i got of ebay for a cracking price of £255, for replicas they are incredibly good quality,
Mods to follow are VW Racing springs and i'm quite tempted to get a set of german pressed plates, I've also got a pair of door handles which i need to get sprayed when my sprayer gets back from his holiday.
Comments welcome!

The car looks much better with the GTI halogens.
Definitely want to see pics with the BBS reps fitted!

i know i don't own a Gti
There are some people here who don't own a VW! We don't discriminate so don't worry

I have one more plan up my sleeve which i'm not going to mention incase it turns out to be a ball ache and doesn't happen
this is the seller i bought them from
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/tipu786/
He doesn't have any advertised on there but from his garage he has some sets left.

The other smaller touches are cool too. Look forward to seeing it finished
