Erik Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Tidy job, very nice work. Obviously spent a good ammount of time and care on it. Bet the ICE kicks as well. Thought putting a GTi badge on it was a bit dodgy though. Couldnt you have just bought a GTi with the money you spent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I bought the car for £7k new, and havnt spent that much on it, all the work has been done by myself and I only ever buy bargins (except the wheels) I think all in ive spent about £1000 on her so far, which is what it would have cost me extra if id bought a SE model instead of the E and how much better does it look than a SE?The GTi badge style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Ive got no excuse.Its coming off, just never got round to it.I'll do it tonight. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Nice car. Nice colour, wish I'd got a silver one. Bit hard to keep clean though.You should have the black bumper parts sprayed the same colour ads the rest of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssexLoop Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 well i think that car has certainly come a long way since u bought it, even though it took my computer about a hour to download all the pics, i think it looks very nice just needs a nice flush exhaust but nothing ott. i like the gti badge by the way style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Ive had a side exit exhaust on order from Erik which still isnt here.

EssexLoop Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 who's erik, the guy at AAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Ya at AATThey are getting imported from Germany, Max ordered one about 8 months back, and I ordered one in November.I havn't heard anything from him for a while, so im assuming hes having problems getting hold of them.Its a shame cos they look wicked, and I havn't seen a nice side exit pipe since the days of the R5GTT.The G/F (im not supposed to know style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ) is getting me a tv for xmas, so the Xbox will be going in aswell.Then it'll be onto the interier.Then coil overs....The list goes on!

EssexLoop Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 o right yeah aat, that's who was meant to be doing my rollcage and cams, but i wanted to change the date and they never came back to me, i wont be going there for any my work, when i want stuff done and paying good money i hate being dicked around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I know what you meen.I was getting it cheap as it was the 1st set in the country so he wanted to use it as a brochure piece, same with Max (we're getting diffrent designs) but every time I call he says a date then doesn't call to let me know it hasn't come.Gets a bit `dis-heartening` style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
