looks good mate but lose the cone filter as it will cause heat soak on the map as mine did when i had a similar setup  :wink:

Post by: Sketcha009 on 10 July 2011, 01:10

i mite be selling the full spax coil overs aswell.

As for the tinted windows.. they are the film fitted by professionals. if they were removed would it leave the windows looking tacky and stick, or should it be ok?

Title: Re: New Member...Another Golf GTI. Pictures inside :)
Post by: Granta Gti on 10 July 2011, 10:59

Ya I'll swap  :smiley:
As for the window tints if you peel them off I think u should be alright and if it does leave some stickyness u can use acetone or a solvent and wipe it off.

Car looks like a good un to start with mate. With a few changes and your own personal touch it will look really good. Dependant on the make them bonnet bra's seem to sell quite well mate. Check ebay for current prices that they are selling for.

I thought it was 03 plates that were AUQ :undecided:

Easiest way to tell is if it is a 5 or 6 speed and if it has vented rear discs or not :wink:
