My Golf
« on: April 12, 2011, 10:24:29 pm »
Just bought my first golf a 1.9 tdi se so thought id show you all as the changes start happening  :happy2:

Here are the advert pictures when i got it





When i got it home i took off the rear wiper, de-badged it and gave it a good machine polish to get some of the swirls out  :smiley:




Its now at my local bodyshop having the GTI front bumper fitted so should hopefully have some updates soon



Cheers

Looks nice mate.
Mind me asking how much you paid for the US GTI front, is it genuine?

Thanks everybody for the kind words :happy2:
Yes it is a genuine us spec front bumper with a Uk spec grill :laugh:
I managed to get the bumper for £75 from a bumper place in Walsall so a bit of a bargain

Ive just bought a scirocco steering wheel so will post some pictures when it's fitted  :rolleye:

Looks good mate, good paint match.
Sorry to keep harping on about the bumper, was it a retail place, or a one off? Does it fit OK? Is it genuine part?

Few more updates  :smiley:

Finally got round to fitting my GTI sideskirts the other day big improvement IMO



Also had some other bits and bobs done to it this weekend

Carbon wrapped roof, pillars and also sills







Not to everyones taste I know but I think it looks quite good against the black and mainly did it to hide a few imperfections

Cheers :happy2:
