got most of the bits i need thanks to a member on here  :cool: , got given a set of shocks n springs which ive fitted, not too bad theyve lowered it alot but have coilovers on order so i can get it how i like, spoiler, jacking point cover and gear knob / gaiter all sorted, have just brought some badges for the side trim for a very reasonable price, so just got to sort these side repeaters (found a set in the boot!!) so might tackle taking arch liners off tomorrow and seeing how these strange round things are fitted! , one more bit im after, there seems to be a small piece of rear quater trim missing on one side, between where there rear quater trim meets the wheel arch?? small bit looks about 8mm wide and looks as though its a stick on job..... so if any one has any of them let me know!!





just got some areas of paint to sort now then shes not in bad shape, i actually enjoy getting up to drive to work in the morning!! , not bad on fuel when driven sensibly, ive got over the rough running / idle issues following a guide, now just have to live with going back to a 20 year old car!! wouldnt mind a bit more poke tbh, and cant remember what to do to the 16v's to liven them up but it will do for now!!, cant see me using it in the winter though as forgot how sh!te the heating / de mister etc is... lol

Might just be the picture but looks like the OS corner of the front bumper is sticking out from the wing, possibly in need of a new bumper bracket? (about £10 on ebay)  :smiley:

I miss my old red GTI  :cry:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

possibly mate, it seems a bit loose on the bit it slides onto, least of my worries though!! id be more worried about shearing a 20 year old bolt taking the bumper off!! so it can stay as it is for now, is just something for me to use for work and the occasional trackday, im not fussed about trying to make it mint, it is a used 20 year old car and as much as i love to see out of the box style cars i also probably look more at the genuine aged cars that have seen a life and can tell a story!! there made to be driven and used in my eyes, ive had show cars etc before and they are a f00kin nightmare as every defect or spec of dust does your head in!! daily driver is where its at :)

Yeh but its a simple repair job and it would (and did) bug the hell out of me hence i replaced my broken one  :laugh:

I do like the look of your car though :afro:
