I want those alloys!,  they look the dogs danglies. Real bad luck with the scissor jack, you have to take precaution when using it as i too dont have a trolley jack, so brick the other wheels just to be on the safe side.

Are those alloys Reps or Genuine ones?

Looks great and in the words of Joesgti, " GET IT SLAMMED"  :happy2:

Well i would love to say they are genuine.. but they are reps. Although, the guys at vw today where saying the were amazing! Not a thing on them is different! TBh, they are the same wheels, made by the same people. So it doesnt bother me.

And i plan on fitting eilbach springs to it.. think 35mm??

So popped down to Newcastle today to see (Savechip) shaun.. As i couldnt get a courier to pick up the GTi bumper..

So a 400 mile round trip  and im now in posession of my GTi bumper and grills!

So will get down to b&q tomorrow and buy some tools. Will get some pics of my attempt at fitting it.

So im looking for a guide on fitting it if anyone knows one.. or if anyone can beat shaun to it.

Ok as promised, i have some pics of the next stage of my gti body conversion.

I got up at like 12 and set to work on this about 1.. `got finished for 5.. Not bad i think.. as i had to do a little modding to the bumper to make it fit my car. (for some reason i now have screws.. lots of them left over..  :happy2: always a sign of a good job!  :jumping: Just wait till i drive off and it hits the deck!  :driver:

From the Original


Bumper Off


New Bumper On


Looks absolutley mint.. Just got to now colour code the splitter and rub strips on the bumper.

Looks miles better that mate, what are you doing about the fogs? I was thinking that you could thrown the R32 grills in there as they have no fogs. I know they are different but they look quite good against the honeycombe  :happy2:
