Philplop Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Very nice, I wouldn't change the wheels just for the sake of making it your own, they're mint. And the red piping round the grill is a must on a black GTI I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigzâ„¢ Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 unsure at the moment but it getting a service soonHey dude, welcome to the club. Car looks stunning, happy to say the car has stayed in the club. Historicly some of the nicest cars which have passed hands and the new owners have joined the forum have got even better than they were. GTI_T springs to mind (if you check out his readers rides thread.)If you check the main forum page at the top of forum there is a "How to" section. There is a thread in there explaining how to do it. If no one has linked it before tommorrow I will post it in the morning, I'm on my iPhone so can't do it tonight. Look forward to seeing the progress.
