Mk1 Gti, ON THE ROAD.

You should get ones with a warranty.

Also check to see if they're suitable for your car, as I've bought some in the past (they were listed to fit a beetle) and they didn't fit.

Cars back from the bodyshop, so took some new pictures.

Had the front bumper resprayed and splitter colour coded to match.



Rear bumper resprayed, removed the gti badge and changed the rear badge.



New stubby mirror and resprayed bonnet.



Replaced the old aerial surround.



Had some paint left over so resprayed the tweeter covers.



A few more pictures, with a couple of my mates T4....









And after the mix up got my new number plates, will put them on tomorrow.

Looks great!

You should colour the insert of the rear badge now too

[6N2 GTI 00]

Looks really good mate

I agree with Tim it will look even better with the rear badge insert being black.

Colour coded splitter looks quality

[Godderz23]

Thanks guys, i only colour coded the splitter because it was scratched to s**t, doubt it'll stay looking that good for to long!!

Car's now off the road again! Getting the bbs' split and spraying the inner bit a different colour. Should be back on the road by next weekend!!

I really like the black tweeter covers, think they look awesome, especially on a black car.

Cheers man, cant take much credit, saw someone on here do something similar

[6N2 GTI 00]

I had my Splitter colour coded just over a year ago and they do take a bit of beating to be fair.
Mine could do with respraying due to a few stone chips and scuff marks from the car being too low.

How come you havent got the lower honeycombe grill on your GTI? I pressume its been replaced at some point

Colour coded splitter FTW!

Very tidy mate!

I do don't I?! I think its just faded a bit, in need of some back to black i think! Might sound incredibly random, but instead of using back to black you can use smooth peanut butter on your plastics, comes up lovely, plus it smells nice

Yeah they do get smashed constantly driving around on its ass!!

You can buy them separately from the dealers or somewhere here on the net (can't remember)

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yeah mate you can get them from VW as stated above.
There was a guy selling them on ebay too but I think he's sold out at the moment.

It shouldnt cost you anymore than £20-25

[Godderz23]

Just got my car back from the bodyshop (again!) got the wheels split and the insides sprayed (not sure of the exact colour "graphite grey" possibly!!) and the outsides polished up a bit!






Sorry rubbish iphone camera.

Opinions welcome.
