Pics are fine, only if your posting loads its better to scale them down a bit so the page doesn't take three weeks to load up.

Kind of mleage is on that? Whats your plans for mods then?

Post by: brett on 27 June 2012, 11:53
cheers mate ,its alrite but slowly starting to show its age,got the dreaded rust at the bottom of the drivers wing just havent removed the arch yet ,but one of the jobs for the weekend
Title: Re: mystic blue more door
Post by: DanChave on 27 June 2012, 21:58
I picked up my new 16v the other week, and the first thing I did was strip off all the arches and sill trims to check for rust! Pleased to say I found hardly any :) which is very rare for mk3's nowadays. I also had the arch liners out and cleaned out all the crap that collects at the bottom of the wings. Definately worth doing sooner rather than later!
Title: Re: mystic blue more door
Post by: brett on 29 June 2012, 09:54
cheers dan been toying with getting rid and getting a 16v myself,one near me same coulour 5 door still and 2 owners from new ,but hmmmm decisions decisions,whats the difference insurance wise mate ?
Title: Re: mystic blue more door
Post by: thai-wronghorse on 29 June 2012, 15:47
Shop around and you'll find little or no  difference in insurance costs. I've even heard of people swapping from an 8v and paying less!

My vr6 is cheaper to insure than both GTi's for some reason... but lets face it, its more expensive on the long (and short) run  :laugh: :evil:

Post by: brett on 25 July 2012, 16:33
Thought it was time for a bit of an update ,not a great deal done lately as been on hols but the car got a nice service before we left,oil and filter ,coolant .All the usual stuff,been building up some bits over last month or so and it would be rude not to put some pics up lol

Got hold of some colour coded bump strips a month or so ago but they wont be goin on till i get some subtle lows as its completely standard atm
(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r555/gtinovice/SAM_1073.jpg)
Also got another grill as mines got plenty of stone chips ,and the black abc pillars are still wrapped up as been deciding if i want to go all out and do the headlining

My new centre console
(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r555/gtinovice/SAM_1074.jpg)

And the leather door cards that ive had for ages but never took pics ,they was my bargain.Only cost me a tenner lol
(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r555/gtinovice/SAM_1075.jpg)


Still have my rx2's to refurb and some subtle lows at some point,but hols and other things had to come first 
(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r555/gtinovice/mk36.jpg)

All comments and opinions always welcome ,cheers brett

(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r555/gtinovice/SAM_1086.jpg)
thought it wasnt to bad for £15 and no more cds as it controls my ipod  :smiley:

also managed to get hold of a leather mk3 steering wheel as my standard wheel was wearing at the top
(http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r555/gtinovice/SAM_1085.jpg)
thought i done well on this as only paid £10 ,so i was happy

starting to get the love back slowly so trying to crack on while i've got some motivation lol
