They dont look that bad in life, il have to have a little check tho, il take both your advise and leave then as they are then 

I knew some would bring that up, i took the standard cold air intake of the air box, so i thought drilling some holes would help air flow (but it didnt ) i thought id test before i fitted the new grill, ( which i fitted today, no pics tho)

Couple of things i managed to get done today....

....removed what mud flaps were left  , and removed the side skirts as they had trim missing off them and looked taty so rather than spending money i just got rid!

...sprayed (matt black) and fitted a smooth grill, just need to spray the gti grill badge. (no pic)

Unwanted skirt


The new less is more look ( i know the arch gap is terrible)


Old orginal grill (ignor the mess in the garden havent had a chance to sweep) 



its getting there, amazing what difference a hour or so makes, will get get some more pics up once i sprayed the seals, at the mo they are green(ish)

Have you only removed the top part of the side skirts?

No the bit your on about was already missing thats what prompted me to remove the rest. Theres a thin metal strip/clip still on the seal that the skirt clips into, but i thought id leave that on for the time being just incase i change my mind, once its sprayed i dont think it'l be very noticable, if i 100% decide to keep the skirts off then il remove the strip/clip too.

i think it looks ok, it enhances the wheel arches too, will hope to give it a clean, spray the seals and get some better pics up over the next couple of days.

Clean pics  here she is in all her (working) glory



rear: just need to get the (vw) badge sprayed and refitted and the wiper arm removed



How easy is it to remove the wing mirror covers?? dont want to break them.

not the most exciting project, but its a bit different from when i bought her, perfect for scooting around in!
