Thanks JV :cool:

So then! Got myself a real GTI :cool:

Heres some pics from the advert:















Pic I took on the M25 services: :smiley:



Then my mate took a couple of pics on his phone for me as I still havent taken any:  :shocked:









And when my mate was fitting the front splitter for me yesterday, jacking up the front lifted up the rear :cool:



It took 2 blocks of wood, 1 scissor jack to raise sill 1 inch then a trolley jack :sad:


As alot of people have already done, (Thanks guys!) I have a comments thread here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=102197.0  :smiley:

Right then, so a list of bits that need doing!

Short Term:

Oil change, pretty sharpish!

Rear Bumper - Got a spare with it, which the bodyshop is picking up today! Ready for pickup saturday :cool:
Sill cover
VR6 splitter (Standard GTI Splitter on there for now)
Glovebox Handle :angry: My fault that one!
Tint inside of headlights? Will get a second set of lights before I do this :smiley:

Sell the Mk2 - ASAP as my grans already annoyed with it on her drive :laugh:

Longer term:

New wheels, probs Scmidt Modern Lines - £900ish
Personal Numberplate? (If not, get regular font numberplates) - £490 + plates £30
Heated Seats (need the loom putting in  ) - Got loom, not sure if I will bother this winter now though


Thats basically it really, also want to get a load of decent cleaning gear like wash mitt, drying cloth, polish, the works basically!


I also had the ABS light come on the other day but I think i was where my water pipe got a hole in it and leaked out everywhere :undecided:

The bodyshop guy said that moisture had got behind the filler on the spare bumper I got with the car so that plan went down the pan!

Hopefully though, a couple of my mates will be picking up a front and rear bumper for me, colourcoded vr6 ones, in the right colour, for £50 :smug: Just hope the rear one is good enough for smoothing!


Going to have 3 sets of bumpers now though :rolleyes:


Also going to be ordering the side trim thats missing at the end of the week (no time before hand :undecided:) and if my VR6 splitter turns up this week, my mates going to help fit that on saturday morning :cool:


Alls good, I think!

Just cleaned the car in the rain... not fun :sad:

Got the VR6 splitter on now, but within about 20mins of fitting it, it got cracked on my mates driveway :sad:

Fitting the splitter:
