Title: MK3 GTi 5 Door in Black, hands up!
Post by: eightyeightmph on 12 February 2008, 17:32
Was thinking, my car's 'look' was inspired by Kells GTi, really like the black & 'tweaked' standard look, clean etc. but with tasteful mods...

Think it would be cool to organise meets at shows etc, have all the like-for-like 5 Door black GTi's lined up, or convoy etc.

Anyways, for now here's a (pretty) recent one of mine, add to the list with a pic & we'll see where we get! :grin:

Now with smoked fogs, Morette headlights...

Black is THE best colour for the GTI, mine is the rarer flat black too, like yours :)

Yep, none of this metallic mullarky! :cool:

Still, for the sake of argument, if it's black we'll accept it. May be even 8V too! :shocked:

My Beetle is suppose to be the money pit, not the Golf! :undecided:

my golf isnt supposed to be the money pit either as my other car is that....but the golf is really cool and in great shape, so im gonna pop in the 20vt and leave it looking standard so joe public will just think its a normal golf gti  :cool:

its a bit of a work horse, i use it to pick international djs up from the airport to the hotel and them to my club events, so it has to be reliable and also look clean

 i love the mk 3 standard looking with only a few tweeks.

think ill be needing a new rad soon too :rolleyes:

this weekend iv just fitted some mintex rear discs, and pads, new american wheel bearings, new rear calipers too (once id managed to remove the siezed one i had!!)

Will defo look good with smoked fogs, how come you have standard indicators & not smoked? :smiley:
Title: Re: MK3 GTi 5 Door in Black, hands up!
Post by: kells on 12 February 2008, 18:09
dunno really, was gonna change them then didnt, i think its because originally the golf was bought as a runner which i was gonna just leave totally standard, but as i said before its too good of a car for that so i thought id go down the OE + route........ but i am deffo gonna swap them for the smoked, needs to be done on the black car

and seen as i have smoked headlights its even more of a must
