Re: neilGTI's WIP (Work in Progress) Thread
Not that i have seen yet mate
Re: neilGTI's WIP (Work in Progress) Thread
Well i havent posted in here for a while so thought i would give a little update.
The car is off the road at the moment, just SORN'd it this morning due to being out the country for 2 weeks and also because it needs two new tyres as i have bad camber issues at the moment.
I am looking at getting it resprayed as the paintwork is really shabby at the moment.
Will also be changing the audio and possibly the interior so watch this space

Re: neilGTI's WIP (Work in Progress) Thread
Let me know what kind of prices you get quoted for a full respray mate
I am seriously considering getting mine done this summer because its really showing its age now and being a black GTI every defect is visible

Same as mine although mine is silver.
I have budgeted around £1500 to have it done although it will be going a different colour just not sure what yet.

Re: neilGTI's WIP (Work in Progress) Thread
Yeah I was thinking around the £1500 mark too, some people say £3K for a top job but that means going right back down to the bare metal.
Got any colours in mind mate? I think i'll stick to black but I am a big fan of the anthracite grey they used on some of the Lupo GTI's

Re: neilGTI's WIP (Work in Progress) Thread
I too am considering a respray at the minute with the amount of swirls, rust spots and dents in my bodywork. I want it to be perfect so a respray may be my best bet.
Don't really feel like machine polishing will do it too much justice whenever I know it'll still have rust spots and the odd car door dent.

Anthracite grey would look excellent IMO
