My Blue Graphite Golf GT Sport TDi

[LMJ]

Another little update. Inters was a blast, I'm sure I met a couple of you on Saturday night - and made a tit out of myself too I'm sure! 

This is how it looked for Inters;




GTi Sideskirts fitted. (Undecided on a colour code at the moment, so I went for the textured black ones!);


Fitted the bigger intake? foglight grills;




GTi grill installed. I have the originals, so I can swap over accordingly;


-

Hopefully looking into a GTi / Edition 30 rear valance colour coded next, H&R lowering springs and a GTi front splitter (again colour coded, save the centre piece).

Looks great, graphite blue is certainly my preferred colour although I'm also a fan of shadow blue.

How easy was it to switch your GT front grills for the GTi grills? Is it just a straight swap? As I'm looking to do it the other way i.e. GTi to GT

[LMJ]

Thanks Davo.

Not difficult at all. You have two torx screws under the bonnet on the slam panel, two snap clips, and under your numberplate surround - there are two screws also. Pull it towards you and lift slightly. As for the foglight grills and lower grill, there's one screw on each fog grill - and pull towards you. They're quite tough, don't be shy. Hope this helps you buddy!

Looking very nice! 

I love the alloys, what are these called ?

[LMJ]

Cheers!

Theyre 18" Charleston alloys (opt. extra) Theyre also available on the Mk6s. VW have also made shadow versions of these (alongside the Monza II's).

Hey guys, quick (rather mundane) question - my understanding is that this shown in the pic below is the fuel filter right?

Any ideas what to do with the ugly rusting top? Spray it? (Anyone else with a GT done this?)

Hey LMJ

Very nice car. i have the GT 140 and mines has done exactly the same thing. i put a small amount of stainless steel cleaner on mine to get the worst of it off and left it at that.
