Mk1 Gti, ON THE ROAD.

[Godderz23]

Well about £200/250 all in, plus the cambelt is due next april, but i guess to be fair the car is 11 years old, beside these he said its pretty mint. So yeah could be worse.

[6N2 GTI 00]

Nice list dude

Cant think of much else to add really, sounds good to me

[emma_88]

Nice plans

All the above shouldn't really cost alot, bar the cambelt / headunit. Under £200 I'd say. Considering the D2S bulbs cost £50ish and the spacers will be around£40-£50.

[Godderz23]

Thanks guys, have one other thing that i have just ordered that im very excited about but i'll put pics up when its on

Yeah just need to get cracking really. Birthdays in 3 weeks so need to start getting all the bits together to add to my list and make one for santa also

[Godderz23]

A minor update.

Fitted my LED rear numberplate lights and interior bulb today. To sunny to bother with pictures.

Also changed my old skank handbrake cover to a newer polo one, trim really goes well with the seats

Old:



New:



And gave it a quick 2 bucket clean and hovering.

[alexperkins]

nice job on the handbrake. did you just replace the grip or the whole lever?

also what was the cost?

i think you should get a rear passat estate aero wiper lol would modernise the rear end of a very very tidy GTI

[Godderz23]

Thanks Alex. I replaced the whole thing! Got it brand new from ebay.Only cost £18 plus p&p. Very happy with how it looks.

Yeah i did consider one before i got the OEM one's. Will properly change to the passat one and get some aero fronts after winter.

[alexperkins]

can you send me a link to the part

[Godderz23]

PM'd.

Also tried that leather conditioner on the gear know today but didn't do much im guessing it would be near on impossible to replace these?

[alexperkins]

how different is the colour of the plastic compared to the original lever?

cheers for the pm

ah gay umm no they are about, but are expensive from the dealers

[Godderz23]

Its slightly lighter than the original but not a great deal. Its much darker than it looks in my picture.

Ok dude, yeah i bet there loads. Will try something else i think. Cheers though.

[emma_88]

New handbrake cover looks awesome! Nice little mod there

[6N2 GTI 00]

Looking Good Mate looks very Clean.

Either Passat Rear Wiper or De-Wiper
I need to decide too because i'm still running the standard one
