New GTI Owner

[janus909GTI]

thats pretty good, cost me £320 for complete rear valance and side skirts, got it done at a really reputable place tho....! cool post pics when done! will look nice on the silver

[Jonny]

Well that's one side light changed, the other i'll do tomorrow because it was being an arse to get out 

Definitely a difference, now to buy some dipped lamps... I was thinking the Ring 120% looking at the prices on ebay

Pic of the difference:

Haha Cheers mate :D

Well I taken the car in yesterday morning for the spray job, just got it back so I thought I'd get some pics before it goes dark. Gotta say it looks 100% better

Looks great Jonny 

Got a good paint job by the looks of it 

So apart from the side skirt next, what other plans have you got mate?

[Jonny]

Cheers monte 

Once I save up some money, for the first 12 months it will be mainly cosmetic changes then maybe performance  ....Next mod will likely to be r32/30 lights and I'd love to get the Xenon headlights, but they are waaay out of my budget for now

I was also thinking of upgrading to a 3rd gen radio, but the battery drain and new canbus is putting me off for now  Is there any way of telling if I will have to change the can bus without having someone with vagcom looking at it?

Thanks

Where are you hoping to get the xenons retrofitted?  I havent found anyone that can get them done as per OEM.  Ive passed up on a few good cars because they dont have xenons. :-(

def get it smoothed, got mine done a couple of months back, looks so much better!! You should consider getting the side skirts done at the same time?!

how much are they charging?

I'd love to get the side skirts and front splitter done, but don't have the cash at the moment after buying the car 

£120 smoothed and coloured, though im leaving the part near the exhaust black

£120 thats the bargain of the year. 

need to sort mine out and i'm looking at £300.00 plus. So good job mate.

Not too sure yet, I'll save the money first then worry about it.   Found a thread where someone has already retrofitted the headlights and installing washers etc, so it shouldn't be that hard... hopefully

Ekkks   Is that quote just for the rear valance?

no thats the quote for side, front lip and rear.

no thats the quote for side, front lip and rear.

Ahh that's not too bad then. I'll eventually get them done, just need to prioritise what i want doing haha

If I had the money I'd get everything done 

[mvb12]

indeed

[Jonny]

Woo and that's the 30 ed lights bought thanks to ni-coilovers.co.uk :D

I'll post pics once they arrive and fitted ;)
