gti body parts

£105 for each arch trim? that's daylight robbery. Breakers all the way or even buy a donor GTI and strip the goodies from it.

I wouldnt bother making it look like a gti, im not a fan of the arches and skirts etc, i think the golf looks better, cleaner, with the colour coded bumpers and clean sill, which in your case will be a hell of a lot easier and cost effective. then concentrate on changing your lights, lowering 40mm, adding fogs is easy, interior (gti seats, electric window conversions) anything is possible, and you can normaly get things at a good price if you look in the right places.

i have been driving 2 years and have finally swapped my 1.4 to a gti (wher the gti is actualy cheaper to insure then the 1.4 was as i swapped companys!) my advice would be to make small suttle and cheap mods until you can afford the model you want.

Spot on, hence why I took all the kit off mine.

To be fair it all comes down to personal preferance, the style you're going for, and sometimes even the colour of your car.

My 1.4 SE was a complete GTI lookalike.. had the arches, skirts, rear spoiler, bumpers, mirrors, interior, electric windows, side mouldings, VR6 splitter, front fogs, rear lights, roof mounted aerial.. in fact the only thing it was missing was the engine lol

And to be fair, I couldn't have imagined it being without all of that stuff. The black and green theme I had going on looked awesome in my opinion.. so many people asked me if it was a GTI.. and so many people loved that car.. perhaps that's why I got 1400 quid for it.

My 1.6 has fully colour coded bumpers, no skirts, and no arches.. and I couldn't imagine it any other way either.

All I can really say is keep your eyes open in local scrapyards cus something might pop up, try ebay, or keep your eye on the classifieds on various forums.

My local scrapyard sells GTI arches for 40 quid a set.. GTI skirts for 20 quid a pair.. GTI rear spoilers for 15-20 quid depending on condition.. GTI rear lights for 30 quid a pair.. and fog lights are pretty hard to come across so normally about 30 quid a pair.

cheers for the advise and oppinion. i think i will just do the more suttle things like fog lights and lower it, then keep eye on scrap yards if anything intresting comes up
