Gti Newbie (Pics)

Afternoon all.

Been browsing the site for a while now and thought i better sign up !

Ive just bought my 2nd car which is a Standard 8v Mk2 Golf Gti. I Love it!
It was a real bargin too and is near enough a mint!

Few plans for it, Big Bumper Conversion, 15 inch BBS RA's Alloys,
Twin Exhaust and Grill Eyebrows.  :smiley:

Heres some photos.





Were a Vw Family  :laugh:


Few Questions.

Im having troubles finding a good Big Bumper Kit that come with fixings, is it still possible to buy a VAG fixing kit or similar?

Also i cant seem to find any BBS RA's, does anybody know of any for sale?

Let me know what you think of my little toy :)

Welcome to the site Ads, car looks sweet, don't see too many in silver. Definately go for some euro style minimilism it will suit it perfectly.

Mmmmmm oak green  :wink:

Welcome to the site mate. As your car was originally a Small bumper like mine (see sig) id suggest just buying the bumpers and fabricating the brackets your self. Its fairly simple. Just use the old ones and tie a zip tie around it and the lower part of the bumper. Sounds a bit bodged. But it works well.

Welcome to the site. Nice car  :wink: What are your plans for it?
