Well ive never really posted pictures up etc on here so thought I would post some up of my latest Gti.After owning in the last 18 months a 16v mk3,VR6 and a 1.8cl wagon Ive gone full circle and ended up with this little gem.Shes a 1996 8v anni covered just over 93,000 with a full service history old mots etc etc.This is only the 8v I know but she really does drive spot on and to be fair is pretty nippy round town and returns pretty good mpg which ticks all the boxes for me.Negative bits on the car usual things really small bit of bubble on the tailgate,some very light surface rust just starting middle of the drivers door and I notice some positive camber on the front wheels and the last owner decided to paint the rocker cover with none heat resistant paint which has kinda bubbled up lol.Also the last owner fitted a de-badged grill,head light brows,K&N induction kit,removed the red pin stripe and removed all the badges on the car.Since ive owned the car ive done the following
Replaced its original badged grill
removed the headlight brows
Re fitted the grill badge and rear badge
Put a new pin stripe on it all round
Had the Camber sorted
Fitted some silver inner door pulls think thats what you would call em lol
Removed the induction kit and re fitted and drilled the airbox along with a piper-x panel filter
Fitted some nice silver dial surrouds on the clocks and fitted silver surrounds on the heater dials.
Future things to do
Paint works booked in for the end of the month sort the boot and the door
Possibly lower the car it has had a 30mm drop but still a little high up front.
Replace the rocker cover
Nice stainless steel system
Thinking of painting the inserts of the head light black
Thats about it for now im trying to keep it pretty standard but theirs always something to do
some picture before and after and any suggestions comments good or bad welcome thanks...
Car when I bought it
How it looks now not to different lol
