I bought my car off a guy on here, wanted a mk4 gti for a while before getting it.

Can't find the pictures from the ad but this is one of the earliest I have from June 2011 pretty much how I got it..

One of the first mods I did was debadge front grill and de-wiper the back..

Looking back I definitely should have done it with a glass piece but I rushed it.

And from the front...

And this snowy day a few years ago almost made me go for a white bonnet and roof until I decided it would look naff..

Front grill has gone back to standard grill but all sprayed and colour coded to blend in - will get pics soon.

Rear badge been sprayed and colour coded too - pics of that soon too.

Picked up a silver bonnet and been working on it with some sharpie art. Its finished now just waiting to get it either sprayed or plasti dipped. Need to find a way of doing it without making the marker pen run as a little test spray I had made it run.

Just need to find a clear coat now that won't melt it.

Excited to try it on.
