Title: Hey all! Bought myself a GTI today :D
Post by: dweb1989 on 21 March 2010, 21:45

Hey guys!

I'm new to the golf forum! I've signed up as I've bought a Mk2 Golf GTI today!

I think the plan for now is to MOT it, enjoy it, then mint it up next year or over the winter :D

Any opinions, or advise would be much appreciated!

Here's a few piccies for you  :laugh:

Haha, I think it's alright for the money i paid for it!

Just got it back to mine now, my dad wants me to spray it before i use it!

Hmmm! Decisions!  :grin:

no real need for a respray, just spend some time polishing it, have a look in the detailing section and see what are the best products  :wink:

Quick update guys! After getting it back to my place yesterday, I decided to try clean it up a bit and it's come up very well  :smiley:

A few pics!

Before

50/50

and after!

I was very happy with the results!  :grin:

I then turned my attention to rear, removed the spoiler, number plate, and the trim around the number plate lights, I then decided I want a new one!

Welcom to the site looks like you've got stuck in.

My only suggestion at this point would be ditch the wing ariel as you've got one on the roof already.
That was one of my first mods on my old 8v, albeit it got a wee bit out of hand after that :grin:

Sure you'll have read all these http://www.matey-matey.com/techtips.shtml

Anyhoo welcome to the site and enjoy the new car.
