andyloop Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 just thought id put up some pictures of my gti.i bought it from the editior of PVW and it was also used in track and race car magazine as a long term test car. its the car used for the buyers guide they did.ive just washed and polished it so its looking a bit better.so far i have changed the side lights to white leds and bought a new gti badge.ive just taken the rear trim out of the car as the rear washer wasnt working, i did a bit of investigating and found the rear pipe had come apart in the rear quarter so when i was spraying it was filling the rear wing up.but its all fixed and dried out now! future palns arent much as its just a daily drive, (im building a 200+bhp 16v turbo mini track day car in my spare time)i want to fit the standard rear badges and change the black vw badges for chrome onesbuy a set of standard wheelswind the coilovers downfit a bonnet braand get the lower bumper panel re sprayedoh and get to all the shows in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Cool car, i love the black centres against the red paintwork. Is this the one with over 100k miles on it? I never realised the lad who used to have it worked for PVW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyloop Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 ive got to admit ive really caught the bug with this car.it gets so much attension.ive had a bit of a spend up, ive bought a brand new lower front bumper of ebay, never fitted in primer so when the weather gets a bit better i will get that sprayed up and fit it.ive also been to GSF today and bought brand new pagid pads and zimmerman discs all round, im going to take these into my work and mill some grooves into them so i have grooved discs all round.im also trying to source some gti wheels and i think i have found a set.

andyloop Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 all serviced now, didnt go quite as expected as the ht leads broke down after the plugs were changed causing a miss fire, then when i went to change them the ends were corroded into the coil pack, so it now has a new coil pack and leads, genuine of course.im going to take the starter off this weekend and grease it, i will get the part number when its off as the parts guy at VW said there is 9 different ones listed, not sure i belive that but never mind!

Silver! Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 i remember seeing it down there it looked really nice.yeah the turbs stole the show really didnt they!Nice looker!Can you confirm if the front spoiler came with the grilles? The guy at my local VW dealer thinks they are separate peices.I was lead to believe they were moulded I tend to believe the latter as it came from 'here'!R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Cheers for that. The VW dealer thought they were separate parts, but I thought I'd read on here that they were moulded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
