Howdy,
I thought it's about time to get some pictures of my car on here, so, my mate came over (matt16v) and his is the white 16v and mine (obviously!) is the red 8v.
Me and Matt (i'm on the right)

Forgot to add both cars will be at e38 on Sunday..
and there's no rear shots of mine due to the huge DTM 'zaust the previous owner had on, and i can't afford to replace. :sick:

there doesnt appear to be any golfgti.co.uk stickers in the red one .. need to rectify that right away :grin:
-
Very nice photoshoot. The grass shots look good too. Two very tidy mk2s as well :cool:
Tell Matt that im not very impressed with his Strip-Job tho. When he has no carpet, No door cards and no rooflining so he wacks his head on the roof every time he goes to get out of it then ill be impressed.........Ok i admit it, Im just jellious because i removed my entire interiour and now its bloody freezing :laugh:
Both cars are looking quality tho :cool: What have you got planned next for it?
-
Ahh the sticker issue, Matts got one for me but keep forgetting it.
I was pleased with the grass shots too, it was only a cheap/old digi-cam too.
Next plans?
Right:
Get a magnex full system including manifold fitted.
Set of 7x15 ATS cups
16v OEM lights
Smoked bumper indicators and side repeaters.
If i come into some money...
cam + flowed head
But i'm only a student on about 200 a month...
Mine's far from tidy there's a few rust issues that'll need sorting in time.
-
lookin good! see you friday! :smiley:

lookin good! see you friday! :smiley:
We're going on the Sunday!
but yeah, if you spot either of us, we'll be with 1 or 2 girls not sure whos coming yet...give us a shout.
I may even wear the same t-shirt!
Would be good to meet people from here.
We're staying at Northampton Quality Hotel on the Saturday night and being at the show early Sunday.
:cool:
-
hotel - what a load of rubbish! get campin!!
-
Would've loved to camp, but the girls didn't want to, something to do with hair ( :huh:) and this stuff they put on their faces... :wink:
When me and matt camped on the Mini London to Brighton we had fun, but as the girls didnt want to we booked a hotel. And i have to go there otherwise they'll take the money anyway. And i can't afford to lose 90 quid. :sad: Still least we'll be fresh. :rolleyes:
the plan:
Leave home at 5PM
Arrive at hotel at approx 7-7.15 -depending on traffic.
Go to bar...DRINK!
Get drink for our rooms.
DRINK more.
Leave for show 7am in the morning and grab some breakfast there...(donuts and coffee :cool:) apparently the hotel is only 10 mins/3 miles away so shouldn't be too bad. then stay at show till we get bored, hopefully meet some of you people. Buy some goodies for my car (thinking of getting front lights, bumper indicators and side repeaters) then leave at whatever time in the afternoon.
Can't wait, will be my first major 'dub show...after the bay one at Paddock Wood, Kent.

see fielders comments about the strip job lol. yeah he needs to rip more of it out lol
nic one tho u pair of skinny rascals.....
-
looking good the pair of them, ver arty pictures too :laugh:
at least now with no back seats you can fit more beer in!! :wink:
-
that's the plan.
Thanks for the comment guys.
As for 'arty' pictures i just experimented and played around, some came out ace som came out poo poo.
We may try a rolling shoot,but I want to get my new wheels and get rid of the exhaust first.

i just experimented and played around,
I did that once...Almost slept witha tranny :lipsrsealed:

:grin: :grin: :grin:

Oh and by the way, when i bought the car it had the following accessories.
Red sun strip - 'twas huge
chrome wipers
Alloys
Dirty Peco 'zaust system
Bilstein lowering shocks
"Racing" steering wheel
Shopping list down the side
'Ripspeed' gear knob
Quick Shift kit.
Square front number plate
So i've tried to return most to acceptable, the ones in bold now removed.
Think i've done a good job, now to change alloys and exhaust.
