robz' mk3 gti 8v - dusty mauve more door!!

[robz]

Yeah it was then mate
couldn't wait to take the pic so it was only half fitted lol
but it does sit over to the left so need to do a bit of bodgery to the bumper for it to look at home but I'm happy with it!
The bloke who sold it to me had it on his 8v but I think it may be off a 16v
it's a scorpion system!
Will try and get some better pics later!
Agree that it ain't easy to get it sitting straight on these! Lol

Oh and by the way,
that exhaust got rid of the mid box silencer thing
and the difference in how light the revs are is noticable, happyier lower down the rev range! And a bit quicker revving on general really

[kells]

id be tellig a lie if i thought that looked right, i really dont wanna sound negative but id try get a better fit with it, deffo kno what u mean about removing middle box thing tho, i found it the same, much better

also not sure on the wolfsburg/gti combo badge thing i think it would look more clean without them

[robz]

Yeah, but I don't really like the clean de badged look so just a difference in personal preference there i'd say!
agree with the jiggling bit and it is blowing a little now but it is working progress lol
I didn't do that wolfsburg/gti badge and up close it wasn't done well lol
but that's the thing that will change when I respray the back end!!

[robz]

some of the clocks too
nice but a fidelly job!

[chrisford_vw]

Clocks look good mate I would change the needle colour (maybe colour code, black, red or orange) so they stand out. Exhaust looks good, was it hard to fit? Can you weld another bracket on to pull it straight?

[robz]

cheers mate!
really pleased with the dials, not sure on how to change the needles but i do agree would suit nicely!
i did nudge the rev needle and then it took ages spinning it back so it read the right revs, lol.
both jobs were bloody awkward!
the thing with the zorst was that it was for a different motor although the mounting are in the right place, the golfs arent an even hanging position, so its always gonna be slightly on the piss until i can think of something to even it up, without welding cos i cant do that, lol.
needs to be cut a little shorter too!! so it hugs the bumper!
it has started blowing a little too now its settled lol.
bloody golfs!!

I painted the needles on mine Robz 





Just make sure you use some humbrol modelling paint as cellulose could melt the needles 

[robz]

ahhh now thats a good plan!!
i have loads of that too!!!
cheers, plan for the weekend, lol!
