Danisdubbin,
Is your car the same colour as this? If so do you know your paint code? I cant find the sticker anywhere in my boot:

********** LK7Y **********
what ya respraying? i have sum scuffs i wanna polish up so let me know how yours goes!!
p.s storm grey is obv the best colour (hardly see any)
-
Yea I love the colour, before seeing this car I didn't even know about it, basically its got a few scuffs on the bumpers and wing mirrors I'd like to sort out.
Heres another picture which might help too clarify it a bit more:

yeh mate thats the same as mine
def storm grey
good looking example too, tidy mate tidy
time to tint those fogs baby :laugh:
-
lol, I quite like the standard look of it tbh, I've only just got the car, its only done 100,000 miles and everything seems in order, its been off the road for nearly a year due to a snapped front spring the owner couldn't be bothered to change. Anyway I've changed that, done a bit of welding to the offside sill and hopefully planning to get it mot'd in the next week. Not sure when I'll be driving it though, I'm not likely to be using it till next April sadly (only Moting it to open up my options and move it from Nottingham back to London legally). I can't believe how fast it is! (just to the garage up the road and back) I know its only an 8v but it's a massive step up from my 1.4 mk3.
Have you got any other pictures of yours? I've not seen any really in this colour before, a few things are colour coded on mine like the spoiler and mirrors. Does yours have the tinted windows too? (I'd never seen these before either, I think they are factory fitted)
Cheers
Adrian

hey man, the only thing i have done to mine is
1) changed the horrific orange side repeaters for black ones
2) smoked my indicators and blanks
3) drilled my airbox to sh!t (sounds insanely better, so much throatier)
4) and fitted a vr6 deep chin splitter at the front (this week)
im skint as hell atm while im at uni, so what with things like MOT and tyres and tax and petrol. i haven't got much spare cash to spend on her
and yeah they have some poke huh? how much did you spend on yours? i bought mine for £1100 with 74k on the clock, but the bodywork is MINT and i mean MINT
nah i dont have tinted windows ........ im not really a big fan!
hope your loving it man, mine is my pride and joy

new splitter on, dammit i need some decent snaps
check out shadypioneer on here, he has a storm grey 16v which looks pimp
-
Looks really good :afro:
-
Mine has cost me £460 so far and is just about ready for an mot, the body work isn't too bad, got some slight bubbling under the rear windows I'm not sure what to do about, and the drivers side sill needed patching when I got it (which I've now had done), its done 100,000 miles and came with good tyres,quite a lot of recent servicing and a pretty good stereo. The rear wiper arm has been snapped off and the passenger side arm doesn't wipe properly, I've still got a spare motor mechanism and arms etc from a 1.4 golf I scrapped 2 years ago that will go on though.
I'm not normally a fan of tinted windows either, but the tinting of the windows is so light on mine I didn't actually realise they were till about the 5th time I saw it whilst fixing various things.
Atm I love the look of it how it is, my side repeaters are already smoked and having clear indicators and front fogs on a Golf for the first time is pleasing enough not to want to tint them. I cant really think of anything else to do cosmetically that goes with this colour, The VR6 splitter is on the list though.
Your 2nd picture down is my favourite, when the sun catches the colour it looks so good.
I have a mystic blue (purple) 1.4 golf that has the gti lights and trim and bbs ra's that I'm using till next year some time which makes sense with insurance and tax.
Non cosmetic plans for mine are coilovers and a full polybush kit next summer when I start to use it.
Gunna see what shadypioneers looks like now.
Cheers
Adrian

Shady's is pearl grey, not storm grey like i thought previously.
-
oh rite, so still unsure what mine is then? it looks more like the pearl grey (shady's) tbh, but I'm not sure....
-
hmm right, i dunno then mate, i thought shady's was storm grey like mine, man photos can be deceiving
cheers wayne, im happy with how she's looking now, thing is tho, ive been offered a 16v engine ....... but not sure if i can afford to get the changeover done (dammit)
but adrian man, your golf is looking spot on ...... hope the MOT goes good so you can get driving her
with the paint bubbling, give the forum search a go, there is bound to be something on here. may involve stripping it down to the metal and respraying though
i got a vr6 splitter spare in the garage if you want it, £15 delivered, or u can get one on eurowagens.com for £20+ p&p
-
Hey that would be awesome, is it original be or aftermarket? I'm not to worried as long as it fits well.
Cheers,
Adrian
-
its a replica of a original vr6 part ..... its not made by vw tho
fits perfect mate, mines on my car now, no probs at all. no screws. literally old one unclips and this one clips in piece of piss
