Title: Hello - pics
Post by: vdubit on 13 July 2005, 14:50: Hi, have been a member a while and posted a few times, but never really introduced myself. Been obsessed with golf's for a few years now, have owned loads (lost count, prob 15-20) currently own several mk2 gti's (8v of course), a mk1 clipper in some sort of purple-gold flip paint, an arosa, a metro gti and a cinquecento. Only concerntrating on 1 of the gti's and the cabby at the moment.

Intend to go to a few shows this year, must go E38 as that was amazing last year (went with club lupo when i had my arosa on the road)

Cheers, Andy

Post by: vdubit on 13 July 2005, 14:57: Cheers. Last year was awesome. Unfortunatly we left early on the sunday to go trax, wish i hadnt, it was rubbish! Big chav show. I just loved the chilled out atmosphere that was at e38, everyone spoke to everyone. Will be taking the cabby to show off, along with my mate in his (if its ready) reiger gto wide arch mk2, so you'll know us when you see us!

Post by: Dinky on 14 July 2005, 12:51: not my choice o front bumper..but each to their own...id hav to hav a similar hood cover (can never remember how to spell that stoopid thing)

Dinx :kiss:
Title: Re: Hello - pics
Post by: vdubit on 14 July 2005, 13:16: i dont like the bumper either, nor the tailgate. I'd like a standard clipper one but there impossible to find on there own. I bought the car already sprayed, it was a state when i got it, needs a lot more doing though.

So far i've put the wheels on, done the steering rack, strut tops, seats and got the doors and boot to open (no handles anywhere!). The front bumper's cracked, so if i can get a clipper one i'll fit that. Paint's some silly amount though and chances are it wont match.

I've put mk2 gti seats (front and rear) in it, am going to attempt the door cards at the weekend, want to use the mk2's material so it matches the seats, should be fun!

Post by: Madone_si on 14 July 2005, 13:28: I love it - the bumper is different but then again it nice to see differenct versions of cabs... the colour is mad also... what the engine bay and interior like?
Title: Re: Hello - pics
Post by: vdubit on 14 July 2005, 14:00: engine bay is a state, underside of bonnet is sprayed but inner wings are still red. gonna take the engine out and spray it all satin black. I'll give the engine a good scrub up too.

The interior is getting there, carpets are knackered, need to get some nice black ones (does anyone know anywhere that does them for less then Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£250?) Seats are in and look a lot better than what was in there (burberry style seats with a million and 1 fag holes). Gotta make some door cards to match the seats now. Getting the mk2 bench in the back was a mission, we trimmed it all nicely and it looks factory now though.

Need a black under-dash tray and centre console as well as these are grey and knackered. Trying to locate some but can only find them for silly money.

Its been decked 90mm apparantly, its bloody low. Wheels scrub with anything (not just a person) in the back, but they are 16's.

Post by: gibby on 14 July 2005, 14:40: Try here for your carpet --> http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/index.html I know it doesn't actually say that they have got the mk1 carpets on the webiste but I spoke to a guy from there at VW Action the other month and I'm sure he said that they could do a full carpet for my cabby for about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£140 ishÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :undecided: I'd need beige so might cost me more but black should be a doddle for them to do for you, anyway give them a try.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â :smiley:

P.S. Your cabby looks crazy bonkers matey !Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â :grin: :grin:
