Hey all! Bought myself a GTI today :D
« on: 21 March 2010, 21:45 »
Hey guys!

I'm new to the golf forum! I've signed up as I've bought a Mk2 Golf GTI today!

I think the plan for now is to MOT it, enjoy it, then mint it up next year or over the winter :D

Any opinions, or advise would be much appreciated!

Here's a few piccies for you  :laugh:

no real need for a respray, just spend some time polishing it, have a look in the detailing section and see what are the best products  :wink:

Quick update guys! After getting it back to my place yesterday, I decided to try clean it up a bit and it's come up very well  :smiley:

A few pics!

Before



50/50



and after!



I was very happy with the results!  :grin:

I then turned my attention to rear, removed the spoiler, number plate, and the trim around the number plate lights, I then decided I want a new one!
