well i have had my white golf off the road a year now
and finally things are looking great nearly achieved what i wanted to do.
i dont have a pc as it gave up few weeks ago not had time to sort it or replace it
so i aint been on the site much
but car comes home tomorrow from bodyshop ill try my best to get some pictures
but its had a full respray still kept it white as inside was really clean and i painted engine bay
before lump went in.
i have had sprinter vent put in the wing and some welding work it needed
the rear vw badge and the tow eye cover on rear bumper has been flushed
had wing welded where the aireal used to be,
mirrors have been colour coded
g60 arches for the front when i pick them up tomorrow, vr6 front splitter
think thats about it
still got crappy wheels on until i can afford some good ones

Looks the t!ts mate! :cool:
Some effort has gone into that Golf and it looks brilliant. Got any pics of what it used to look like?

ah man you got rid of the tow bar! :tongue:
nice work rob :) :afro:
-
what brakes are you running on it now?
-
280mm discs g60
keeping 4 stud
just got power steering to do now because its screaming its t*ts off for some reason
think it needs bleeding and got tiny bit of wiring to do so my lights work as most of them dont
then i can bang it through its mot
i scrapped the vr6 splitter what a chew on that is lots of cutting
so i cleaned the old splitter up and put that back on
-
just got my g60 arches today
after waiting ages for them and they are both snapped
the piece that goes inline with the door trims have snapped off
so hopefully i can piece them back together as i cant return them
as they made me check them over so they must of broke in the car
when i brought them home
-
bugger! Well hope you get them fixed, your motor really is gettin the treatment isnt it! Keep it up rob!
-

:wink:
Gaz
-
would definatly suit you car, nice choice :cool:
-
just done quick photoshop
found a old pic of my car from newark
they are the wheels im definetly goin for
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Rob119/pshopalloys.jpg)
-
that confirms it even more - go for it :wink:
-
looking nice mate. those wheels would set the car off lovely.
-
That would finish it off a treat :cool: I like those.
When i bought my G60 arches they always came with the little wing side moulding broken :angry: they are a nightmare!
-
i have only bought the front 2 as they look wider
are the rear arches any different at all or not as i think they look the same as my 8v ones?
-
I think there is a very slight width difference. Otherwise why would they do them? But looking at them i think there is a slight difference in size :smiley:
-
if they look odd when i fit them i will have to buy rear ones aswell
-
Bloody expensive aren't they! :angry:
Where you buy them from? Got my from German & Swedish.
You bought the sills as well? They are a git to fit! Loads of stupid sticky strips and pads, only for them to come off at the ends a few months down the line :rolleyes: And that's genuine ones too!
-
i paid £49 for front 2
from the the dealership genuine
got clips on them so i think they need cutting off as my wings have no holes in them
-
lol yeah don't mention those clips :rolleyes:
First time i put them on forgot to cut them off. Pop riveted them on only to see these two great lumps! doh! :cry: Had not rivets left over so had to drill 'em out and go buy some new rivets. Stupid kid :grin:
