Title: My GTI
Post by: WhiteGTI on 26 January 2008, 12:59

Hi all,

Thought it was about time that I posted some pictures of my car! Been a member for quite a while now, it has really helped me in getting to know the car a bit better. Had the car about three months now, and loving every minute of it.

Spec is pretty basic, but includes:

18" Monza II
Front centre arm rest
Luxury Package
Highline Computer
Colour coded front splitter, side skirts and rear bumper
Alpine CDA-9887R headunit with the IMPRINT audio processing all set-up

Future plans include:

All the OSIR carbon fibre interior styling
OSIR Carbon Fibre Mirror Covers
R32 tails
Uprate the light bulbs (verrrrrryyyyy annoying going from a Xenon car to non-xenons)

Cheers all, hope you like. Apologies that it's a little bit dirty, but you get the idea.

Chris.

great looking motor.
I would defo change the rear lights. I found them to be too red and not go with the image of the car. I've got R32 smoked ones on mine and the car looks much much better !

Also, get those external wing-mirror plastic vinyl black bits colour-coded also, it looks much better.

Very Nice. Looks good with the colour coding. It really sets off the Monza IIs. :cool:

Sweet looking GTI. :cool:

Colour coding looks fab. If you are going for the OSIR wing mirrors, then I would paint them to keep the OEM+ look :wink:

Oh yeah the coloour coding looks really good, i think i will be getting it done to my Silver GTi once i save up some pennies. How much does it cost on average to get this done?

Cost me around £500 for the whole thing to be done. I had it wet-primed, so that the finish is completely smooth, i.e it has lost the textured plastic feel that it previously had.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I am very pleased with the results!
