How much are you asking for it?

I used to have this on my old gti ordered a stubby passenger mirror from germany and had it fitted. Visibilty was obviously worse

Having not had the use of the car since i bought it i feel its time to maybe move it on to someone who has the time. I now need a family car. Will upload photos this week once its had a clean. It was bought as a bit of a restoration project, and i have rectified a few issues but there is still a small list of things to do. So far i have had some parking dings removed, new rear spoiler and light, small rust bubbles sorted on the wings, front and rear bumpers have been sprayed. Its had a new thermostat, wipers, blocked washer jet fixed. Rear wiper delete, cambridge lights,spacers and a whiteline arb fitted. Things on my to do list were. A full detail Door straps Discs and pads Another small rust bubble on drivers door Wheel refurb New indicator stalk (its sticky/temperamental) I will be straight up and say that i wont be accepting less than what i paid for it. Im not desperate to sell and if it doesnt get what i want i will keep it and get through my list albeit slowly. Its done very few miles since i bought it in february its a 2nd car and i have spent money sorting out a few issues. If anyone is interested my number is 07429278001 please watsapp me and we can talk price/conditon etc. Will be having a valet in the next week or so so can upload pictures then. Regards J

Did you sell your BCs on ? I only had kw v1s and found them good enough for road use so maybe the BCs could do the job for me. Already i feel the whiteline arb has improved things with the standard setup

Thanks clayton will look to recycle my old grille i guess there seems to be enough on there i think. I used to have kws on my old gti but am considering the bc's now how did you find them for general road use and ride height ? Was there much difference in stiffness ?

Been thinking of doing the mesh behind the spotlights and didnt notice you had done the same. May i ask how you did it ? What you used ? Im thinking of buying a new grill and using the old one

I bought it as a project and am having some work done to bring it up to a reasonable standard. May look to sell it on though if i dont get the use of .

Afternoon all Whilst fitting my new spoiler after spraying it i have noticed my 2 spoiler bolts have snapped and the previous owner cut the connector for the 3rd brake light. Does anyone know the part numbers for these and where i can source them ? Also i have a sticky indicator and have heard it could be the relay. What do i need to do to diagniose and then tackle this job ? Regards Josh

Nice one thanks guys im tempted to source a set of rsl cults but very rare in 15 inch also dont want them too wide

Just wondering if anyone has ran 14inch wheels on a Gti or even if its possible with the clearance on the calipers ? If so anyone have any photos ?

You can get one brand new here for around the same price. Is it still for sale, how many miles did it do on the car ?

Yes i agree

Where did you source them from ?

How much are you looking to pay ? Ive just found one after a year of searching, they do come up occasionaly.

I managed to do a deal with a nice guy from this forum and bagged myself a better condition spoiler and an uncracked light that works.. question is how am i going to seal it and try to make it water tight going forward.

Think theres one on ebay at the moment

Afternoon all, My recent purchase requires some new paint, i am concerned that it will be difficult to blend or even match this colour. It has some fantastic hues in certain light. Am i being paranoid and has anyone had any paint and blensing in this colour with good results ? Ive heard pearl cokours are hard to match. Regards Josh

Ressurecting an old thread here but are the anthracite paint codes the same for GTI and non ? Will be booking my car in for some bodywork and worried that it will lose some of that lovely dark grey blue sparkle in the sun..

Unfortunately not, i have contacted VW, TPS and no joy. I was told they sold the last one in Oct Nov 2020

Turns out theres a little more bodywork involved, couple of scabs on front arch so hopefully get the car into a bodyshop this weekend and see what the damage is. May bet the front end and bootlid resprayed. Indicator is also playing up intermittent. And the thermostat issue running cold apart from that drives very well.

I can definately have a look but the brake light lens is cracked which is probabky the root of the problem in the first place

Thanks lupogtiboy.. Hmm looks like it could be more trouble than its worth. The connections look very different

Thanks lupogtiboy. Happy to do a bit of fiddling to try and keep it oem, out of interest are the standard 9n3 and the gti using the same brake light ?

Still after one of these.. have tried almost everywhere now. Car arrives on saturday and keen to get project underway. If i have no joy will be smoothing, any recommendations in the south east for a reputable bodyshop to carry out this work.
