My Mk5 (£1800) Gti Project

[IBD4vid]

Hey everyone just a quic update as its been a while

the front grill is now black like the gti is supposed to be
i've also managed to get a door strip for the passengers front door so only need the rear door one
and i've been working on the body damage of the car and almost finished all the damage

after i have done all the body repairs i'm thinking of a respray. Maybe black?

i'm thinking of a respray. Maybe black?

That'll set you back a lot. I'd stick with it as it is personally

[Upperoilcan]

Why bother with a respray ? after all your trying to make the car look like a GTI so surely a new set of wheels would be money well spent cos at the moment the car aint getting away with it on the 15" rims you have...........

[IBD4vid]

ive already got a set of GTI rims (MINT) they came with the car they was removed due to 2 tyres needing changing.

As for the respray my mate owns a garage and he said he would respray the whole car providing i get paint etc for £80. Only reason for respray is i've had to filler a few bits and when i bought the car it had a scratch from front to back and bonnet/wing needs respray anyway. so i thought i might aswell do the whole car?

what u think?

I'd get it sprayed but keep it the same colour. THen the door shuts and engine bay etc will all match and it'll look much much better.

Im after a GTI. Could you let me know where you are..... so i can stay well clear. If a HPI check wont pick up anything are you going to be honest when it comes to selling?

[IBD4vid]

 u have convinced me to keep it silver

i know u only got 4 post but where does it say that my car is up 4 sale... and if u bothered reading u will see my location

[billy2shots]

No offence intended. Earlier you were very keen to ask for value of your finished car but that doesnt suggest you are selling soon. However my post never suggested this either i mearly meant that some time in the near or distant future when you come to sell. You also seemed very happy the fact that the car was not recorded as stolen/dameged or whatever it was.


Oh and a friendly tip the number of posts someone has means diddly squat. I may not be a post whore but you have know idea of what i have owned or driven or my experience.

[IBD4vid]

fair enough. was only asking what the value was after repairs out of curiosity. just like i was about the seats.
i put pictures up and u could c body damage i was just saying the damage was unrecored as people might of asked

anyway it was a cheap car so no plans on sellling soon
