Hi
Just purchased my third Golf (two previous Mk4's - a 1.8T and 1.9 GT TDI 130). I now have an 06 Tornado Red GT TDI 140 with FVWSH and 55K on the clock.
Got it for a good price but it does need a little attention to the paintwork:
1) some rust on the rear arch - some bubbing and a little bit of paint flaking off and more inside the arch
2) rear bumpr was replaced a few years back but the colour match compared to the rear quarter panels is not great in certain lights (OK compared to the boot)
Is it worth taking to VW regarding the rust?? Also, should a good bodyshop be able to get a near perfect match on the bumper??
Aside from this im either going to refurb the standard wheels in anthracite or get some 17 Monzas (as the car has four nearly new Michelin tyres, so I want to keep to 17 inch for now).
Also fancy a GTI gear knob and chrome pedals - is the accelarator pedal easy to do?
Thanks in advance.
