My plans for the car, what do you think?
« on: 29 November 2005, 22:17 »





It's jade green and i've got the Ronals on the way, sorting out some 16v half tinted rear lights this week hopefully and no idea what do with the chrome bumpers due to being in 2 minds over getting GSF ones (heard about bad fitment from some but then others have said not a problem whatsoever  :undecided: )

It's an 88 8v and i've got the 90 spec side strips ready to go on apart from some modding to the arches and a missing badge (GTI-Joe is sorting me out with one though)

should look lovely once it's all done... I got given a 2 door Jade Green 16v last week, can't wait to get it home :tongue:. I think the colour looks really good on the mk2 with a few subtle tweeks :smiley:

that's a different car,however since saturday I've come up with a few things which may help bring the car ('91) back to the factory output, not least of all the fact that the car was running the original type panel filter, which when removed on sunday was black!
I only picked up mk 91 16v the night before wrc and noticed that day that it had hardly been used in the last few years, it loosened up a bit on the way to silverstone, and continued to do so whilst there and on the way home, hopefully with some regular use it'll edge closer back to 139bhp :smiley:

The jade green 88 16v is in lovely condition, but needs an engine rebuild so isn't likely to make any bhp at the moment :cry:

(sorry for the hijack!)
