hey phil,

I didnt write it up very well but read a few pages back, i didn't get the oettinger special i got the normal gti (which is why i was picking up my car but was a bit unhappy) as i saw the oettinger one after i purchased the gti.

I could post a pic but i dont think anyone wants to see a completely standard gti with small wheels and rusty exhaust  :smiley:
Who know's, after i mod it a bit i'll surely let you guys see it  :wink:

looks like your car used to be a bl00dy under cover 50 car  :grin: :grin:

that or a taxi  :laugh:

Tell me about it, with all the wires i cut out it looks like i can make a new car loom! the aerial has been taken out now and guess what? the previous owner used super rock hard glue (like a glue used to bond concrete blocks together) to stick it to the windscreen!!!!!!!

It took me 1 razor blade, 1 screw driver, some simonizzz soapy wipes and a lot of swear words to get that sh1111t off! its ok now though, lukily it was stuck on the windscreen and not the dash!

what is it with glue eh? feckin previous owner!!!!...

phew glad i got that off my chest, car is looking very tidy now  :smiley:

Get yourself some MEGUIARS NXT All Metal Polish for those "zorst" pipes - works a treat - but bit of elbow grease required but sounds like you used to that now  :grin:.  I must admit I've always been put off with non-OEM fittings like these on motors - because you haven't done it yourself you never know what the hell has gone on - as you are now finding out  :sick:

Forget about the Oettinger - the car you have is already pretty special and once you have sorted out these few bits and bobs you will enjoy it just like everyone else does - just take it out for a blast, Oettinger Specail - whats that  :grin:
