Lol it comes back Wednesday.
Plan is as follows:

Install LED side repeaters
Install remainder of audio wiring inc 3 door speakers and amp/sub combined
Install new HU into GTI for listening pleasure
Fit new rear panels and rear arch liners
Fit new badges to tailgate
And anything else thats needing fitting will be fitted.
Sunday:
Valet GTI and GT1 top to bottom and get it absolutely spotless - treat leather and condition all other internal surfaces
Wednesday: Finish cleaning the GT1 in preparation for the weekend, and switch wheels over.
Saturday: Insured on the GTI
Sunday: Working, then delivering the GT1 to its new owner.
Happy days!!

Why do u have new boot linings dude?
Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 8:38 pm
by alexperkins
Basically, when I took the roof lining down to replace the aerial, the clips that hold the vertical plastic right at the back had snapped, both sides and along the middle of it.
Therefore I had to order a whole new plastic set - its quite cheap, but still hassle i kinda wanted to avoid!
