Title: My Golf GTI
Post by: mrpatterson2008 on 07 March 2009, 18:07

Bought this golf gti 8v back in September 07, it had done 97,000 miles, M Reg, got it for £380, it was a bit of mess. Some lad had put some nasty body kit on it, tail pipe ect.  I stripped it all out, took the body kit off.

Got new rear bumper and painted it to match
Refurbed the alloys
Valeted the interior
Painted the trim/spoiler
repainted the front bumper
removed rear wiper
KNN filter

Basically got it gleemin again and as standard as possible.

So i thought i'd shar some pics. (alloys not done in these pics)

Pretty pleased with it now, it's spottles inside and out and drives real good.




Some of it with my refurbed alloys

it's good to see someone taking care in an previously abused mk3 (does this mean there getting the status of original is better?? :cool:)
Nice work and do you have any pics of before the work (like the kit?)
