MK3 Golf GTi 16v grey - Getting scrapped.

[Mikester]

I think once these TT wheels are polished it'll set it off nicely. 

Agreed.

Im getting quotes at the moment for mirror polishing some ATS cups with a few companies, will let you know who is cheaper and gives a better finish once im completed in my research.

Today has been a very prouctive day indeed. I completely cleaned the interior, taking the seats out and hoovering everywhere, cleaning all the trim so there's not a spec of dust. I followed this up by sorting out the wiring in the boot for the sub and amp.

Then things got a little more 'mechanical' for me, which is new really. I removed the throttle body and cleaned it, as well as clearing up the dizzy. The car has been a little hesitant every now and then lately so thought I'd do these. Also changed the air filter for a pipercross one, all in all the things I've done seem to have improved the way the car is running.

Well done for switching to a 16v. Yea I am a mk2 owner venturing out!

Havent seen ya down Budgens yet.

Where did you take those pics? Yeovil I bet somewhere. Whereabouts?

And I am sorry, but the Pass Door color difference would do my nut in!

[Shady Pioneer]

Cheers pal. The car is great and much better all round than my GL was, the colours will be sorted eventually though, possibly a full respray on the cards.

I don't work at Budgens anymore, I started my new job last week.

nice 16v, never been a fan of hella quads, but suits urs. o and i like the kamei lower grill slates ( probs coz ive just brought a pair  ). suprised no ones said about them. they look nice coz its works well with the virtical slats along the front bumper and works with the horizontal slats of the grill.

[Shady Pioneer]

Thanks man. Yeah I'd say the Hella Twins only work on certain MK3s, thankfully grey is one of them.

As for the grills, I'm not sure I like them, will probably put the originals back on at some point.

If that's the case, can i get first dibs? 

[Shady Pioneer]

I suppose.

I suppose.

Oooohhhh yeah Hang on...having something that previously belonged to Shady...on my car...can only mean bad things with his luck! ...

I broke it today.  Having to catch a lift with a colleague as it won't be moving anywhere right now.

I took it over to Adam's as we were going to inspect a possible gear linkage problem, before doing so however, I was going to take the oil breather hoses off, and stupidly took one of that turned out to be a fuel line. Now this would be a bad, if I hadn't of broken this:




It's the bit that keeps the hose secure in the slot, and the end seal had snapped, along with the outer bracket. With it being a Sunday I was unable to attempt getting a new one, so first chance tomorrow I'll be going to VW to order a couple of bits.

Never trust Shady with a car, that's all I can say.
