Title: My new vr6 project
Post by: rossbarry1 on 31 May 2011, 19:01

Hi, let me know what you all think of this, picked it up for a bargain £440, spent £50 on service bits today and £40 on a bootlit. Getting the rust and dent sorted out end of the week. Any ideas of what i can do to it. Thanks

Looks awesome, the bootlid is a slightly different shade which is a shame, my gti is the same colour as this, the best colour!
I agree with the above, the wings are easy to change, just get another to replace it, you'll never straighten that dent out 100% I wouldnt think. Get a wing and matt black it until a storm grey one shows up on ebay or breaking

Front one yes, back one is stuck on so will need new trim tape afterwards

For the money that looks like a nice project, is that a scorpion backbox?, got one on my 8v and i can't get it to sit back as far as that.

Is the paint code LK7Y (storm grey)  or LA7U (pearl grey)?

If it's Storm grey then tap this guy up for body parts.  http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=192763.0
