before and after to be continued..... pic heavy
« on: 08 July 2011, 11:57 »
This is the golf i purchased in march mk3 golf gti 16v it has been a really good car hasn't missed a beat! only problem is the abs dosn't work due to pump or ecu not a biggy though. heres some pics of how i got it and what ive done since too today. Just like to say i wouldn't mind a build thread in dub rides not sure how you get it on there?

sat on previous owners drive.




once i got home i set to work replacing rear bumper, boot lid two front wings and changed the mirrors for original gti parts this was all off my old car which was mint.
pics of changing things.
rusty wing off :


new wing on  :smiley:


while doing the wings i panted the calipers british racing green using ronseal heat proof paint.


i then sprayed the standard wheels black and added a badgeless grill and sprayed fogs and indicators



I have also been tidying the engine bay and changed a few things i intend to get this very shiny in the future show standard nearly


over the last week i have been spraying wheels different colours and ended up white  :laugh: These were originally orange i did try and refurb them orange and decided against it so then i sprayed them black and decided i didn't want that either so ive gone white for now.
before :


after :




also this week i have added some hella quads bought from b8_blu reason for this is i had them on my old car (in sig) and really like them!


ive shown the interior before but here goes anyway




thats it for now comments welcome . next on the list is either s3 engine or supercharged. This is only a thought at the moment though it may never happen especially not this year  :sad:

The orange was a long process to get right if im honest alot of prep work, i did try one to start with but because they where done badly by the previous owner it didn't work so well. So i took the cowards way out and sprayed them all white  :smiley: It actually looks better in the flesh i dont think the pics do it full justice really i feel they suit it till i change my mind again lol. That beach buggy thing was the guys i bought it off was quite a mess not sure he still has it tbh.

Love the white wheels!  :cool: but then i would haha

I did think i might as my old ones were coded in my sig but more i look at them in the flesh the more they tie in with the rest of the black parts i.e fogs inserts etc this is still undecided mind so could all change still cheers for the comment  :smiley:
