My Standard GTI
« on: December 19, 2008, 10:23:44 am »


Only a quick pick i'm afraid chaps, i'll be taking some better ones this weekend if i get chance, with the other 2 Mk2's :confused:

I'm after some Bentley splits at the moment, so if i can get the Monza's sold i'll be able to afford them  :drool:

Other than that, black badges, a bloody good detail, re-map, milltek and probably some V3's.

Looking cool, Red is getting popular on here now.  :happy2:
Is that a scratch on your back arch or just the sun light catching it.  :smiley:

Yeah i wanted a red one really, since it was first launched. I quite like the white but it'd be constantly dirty, i think if you have a white car, for it to look nice it needs to be clean constantly and i just dont get time.

No, must be the light or the way the pic was taken, bodywork is really good actually, its looking a bit sorry for its self there as its dirty, not as dirty as it is now though  :signLOL:

Really need to find a pro detailer in Oxfordshire to sort it out  :sad:

thanks for all your comments chaps,  as of next week it'll be back in the garage for a bit of a rest, i've done 10k in 4months in it now so i think i'll go back to one of the mk2's for a while.  Plus it gives me chance to sort wheels and other bits i want to do :jumping:

Both are in the body shop at the moment, i pick the 20vt up this weekend but to give you an idea of what they are like, here's my 8v which is now dead and stripped thanks to terminal rust  :sad:



My 20vt is a bit chavvy at the moment as its how it was when i bought it, its being put back to the standard 90 spec look but here's an engine pic:


The 16v is having a replacement sill and the bumper is being re painted next week so that should be mint after that and a good machine polish :jumpmove:

Great purchase, Red is one of the two best colours that really make the GTi stand out more at a distance.

Just gotta keep ontop of the red and its notorious soft paint :sad:
