Tigz™ Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Im impressed the body work looks great, thats made my mind up I have got to do something with my rear arches, they look so much better.Id be very happy with the body shop that put that together it must have been extremly tricky to match up those panels.Not sure on the amount of screens mind, dont know whats happening there, one would be enough... Got any spare? lmaoVery cool car.How come you didnt fit GTi Skirts?(Not a dig at the ones you have, just wondering if there was another reason for them..)

carmadaaron Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 what size of tailpipe is that in the 2nd pic? u changed it to letterbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Impressive, exterior looks very impressive, about the only complaint I could level is the exhaust looks a bit fat for my tastes, and a bit too many tv screens for my, looks like a branch of dixons, but these are minor nitpicky things. What are the seats though, they look interesting, got any pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marqs_Loopy Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Mota looks pukka but not too keen on the side skirts... think GTi ones would be better IMO other than that you dun what you said you would all that time ago.. Pukka and good on ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Mark I agree, but the problem is, the GTi skirts are part of the body.As far as I am aware, it would be a huge task to do it.The rest of the body work is fantastic, I really think the Nos out of the bumper idea is no doubt flashy, but not very practical.If you instaled washer jets, then it really would be a GT TDi. I would love the lamps, but without the washers I would have to change the lights come MOT time, or give me bother with the Police if I didnt clean the head lamps almost daily in the winter.Other than that I think its fantastic.When you lose the extra weight with what you have planned its gonna be even cooler.Nice one buddy.

tshirt2k Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 The washers aint that expensive I think they come in three parts. The pressure cannister, the jet and the coloured cover. Around £45 a piece. Not sure if the gti water reservoir.(Under passenger wing) is the same. You also need the pump and the pipe joining all together. Its a shame cos i had a few of them bits. not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldirtybastard Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi,like the interior a lot, it is very nice,not keen on the exterior, as i said on pvw forum about the same car, dont understand spending so much money changing the shelll to gti spec, when it'd probably be cheaper to upgrade to a gti.i think the answer was, he likes the tdi engine. so fair enough.top marks for interiortaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p88bel Posted December 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Ive took some more up to date pics in them theres carbon fibre door pillars and door handle backings, still to fit matching door sills.Ive also colour coded complete dash.Im currently working on making and pod on inner plastic tailgate to house my 12" Ive only just started and its taking shape already just some more hard work and then color coding, the screens all getting done in silver as well for a stealth look. More pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGTI Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I dont normally like it when people go over the top with mods but this car is brilliant....i think its cos its using a lot of GTI parts it keeps it classy not tacky. got any pics of the colour coded dash?

p88bel Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 heres some of the dash while in middle of fitting stereo, im still working of hiding cabling etc and adding cooling fans, but this will give a idea of dash.

p88bel Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I dont do tacky!!! lolIf I do a mod and think its wrong straight back off it comes, I did intentionaly go for gti spec stuff to keep it a quality vw and not some fibre glass kit car like lots of others.Its got to be solid for the way I drive, the install for sounds etc though is going to be a fibreglass install, but thats to be demo use for shows, advertising etc and fact I like my in car entertainment lots!Im modeling some speakers onto the tailgate now as well and its looking nuts, Ive someone else thats going to make a virtual preview of the install, whos also member of clublupo tuffnuts, helps him get advertising as well for the magazine features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p88bel Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 heres some more pics of the boot mounted screen still wokring on it and the silver dash theres lotsa cabling and tape about the now but thats tempoary till I remove seats and other parts of dash so gives a rough idea of how its going though.carbon fibre pillars and door handle backings breaks up the silver a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
