  1. for a bonnet they will probably blend it into the A pillars, Wings and top of bumper if they do it properly. some shops will just spray the bumper.
  2. Sounds like a decent plan. Not Many untouched ones about anymore. Ive done a few things to just update the look on the interior which can be changed back easily. Ive got some BBS to go on and BC coilovers on the way and that is it nothing else happening to mine mods wise.
  3. Looks well nice. im going to head to halford on my way home and get some. thanks for the info. This looks really clean. I love the gti's in blue i have a raven blue one myself. you looking to keep it standard or modified?
  4. I have managed to get this sorted now and the car is back on the road 5 new wheel nuts and it was all ok
  5. Have you done it before on a gti? if so did you get a genuine hub? or aftermarket?
  6. Thank you all for your replies. Ill grab some picks when i can but i paid £4.47 for the new bolt from vw so it deffo the right one. Im planning on a whole refresh but until i can get another axle i wont be doing it. unless you have a complete gti rear axle? haha Only that wheel as they changed the tyre. Tomorrow the car is going up on jack stands and i will check all the wheels. theres only one guy i trust to do work on my gti and thats AUTOSHACK in Suffolk. Bit of a drive for me and hes a VW specialist. Hes worked on Claytons tornado red gti a bit aswell. It is a garage where my mate works so its a touch awkward. I have made him buy new wheel bolts for that wheel. I had a knock at the back end but I found it to be a loose bolt on the rear damper which connects to the rear axle. Thats what me and my other mate think. Would it be worth taping out the threads to clean them up?
  7. i have a complete passenger side electric one in silver?
  8. Looks nice!! how easy were the lotus seats to fit?
  9. I am having an issue with my rear drivers side hub. I was undoing the bolts to take the wheel off and disaster struck, the bolt snapped. The last person to do them up was a garage. C***s. I undid the other three with little success. two more broke. I have managed to get all the bolt threads out. i am now having an issue that i have bought new bolts but in two of the holes the bolt doesn't sit flush against the rim when it is on. I took a wheel bolt from the front of the car and put it in the back. i had the same issue. i then tried to put the wheel bolt back in the front where it belonged and it now doesn't fit... any ideas or advice or help would be appreciated.
  10. im going to pick up a rear beam on sunday. has anyone powercoated it before? if anyone has any photos of them refreshing their beam can you post them.
  11. i had the same issue i ended out getting rid of the CD player and plugging it into the back of the radio. I got mine from ebay might want to make sure its got a ground wire aswell.
  12. There is a company on Ebay who import lupo GTI's all their photos have yellow garages in the back ground. I say this because i cant remember what the company is called.
  13. ive got these wheels aswell ive been trying to get a set of those VW stickers for the centre caps!
  14. battery tray and seats?

    WEBSITE

    Why is it that none of the pictures load on the website anymore? they are either completely missing or comes up with a message?
  18. i have that exact OEM one on my car. been on there for about 6 months no trouble at all.
  19. isnt there some clips that hold the two peices together aswell? i think if you look in the wheel arch there is one? probably not the solution but something i noticed the other day that might help
  20. would you recommend possibly starting with something like a 400/600 grit? would the clear coat idea not work? ive seen people do it on plastic headlights didnt know if they would work on gti headlights
  21. oh right i see mine have alot of stone chips on. i was wondering weather sanding them down. clear coating them, then doing this process would help with those? thoughts? anyone elses opinions are greatful on this idea please.
  22. were yours stone chipped? im thinking about doing this to mine but i have stone chips and am unsure how well this will work
