MK5 GTI seats are beautiful... Would the 9n3 GTI seats fit? They're kind of similar right? May be easier fitted assuming they're a little smaller maybe?

Right! the Gti is now back on the road after 3 months of sleeping...





First to report is the cause of the dreadful knocking-over-large-bumps i'd been experiencing...



Yup, the ARB was knocking against the chassis all along. I only picked up on it because i could see evidence of metal to metal contact on the arb whilst i was adjusting the coilover height. This has only taken me a year to figure out reason i didn't think it was this at first was due to my old gtis being lower than this one, however they had much harder coilovers so the suspension didn't travel as much hence no arb to body contact .


Gave it a good wash and dodo wax today, (in between rain showers...)

Current stance ( raised slightly )


Rainshowers looming...




leads to...


I've always wanted to do something with the windscreen/wiper trim, as the dull , aged grey always bothered me...

So:



carbon vinled it gloss black, was only my second attempt at vinling and was pretty pleased with the result..








more to follow , Joe

Polos looking utterly beautiful!
And really love the Scuttle panel! Looks 100x better!

Nice work mate. I have given mine the works the past 2 days as well. When will the beauty be visiting me in P town?

Yeah love the headlining! lots of TLC for the GTIs at the mo haha, ooooo hopefully soon!

Looks nice n shiny :-p
I just love how well the black gti's come out after a good clean!

Scuttle panel looks sweet too, I've always wanted to do summin to mine but don't know what lol

Cheers man, yep they really do! Highly rate Dodo Purple Haze wax for dark cars.

I considered spraying it, but had some vinyl lying around so thought i'd go for that instead, wasen't too difficult as long as you you cut it out correctly.

I was considering spraying it but your vinyl looks so sweet and I think the gloss will look sweet against my silver

Thanks man Need to get all the local GTI's up on the moors for a picture sesh when your down. Sure Luke will be game?

I'm game for anythin mate
There's a big meet gettin arranged for 27th of may for big BBQ n allsorts that would be a good time if Godderz old gti's runnin by then we could try get micheala up for it aswell

If mine isn't running by then I'll be off crying somewhere..!!

Meet and pictures at some point soon sounds amazing.

We should sort out a gti meet soon then and chris your mk1 should come too I'm sure we're all desperate to see it :-p

Thanks mate, the windscreen wipers didn't need to be removed in order to get the trim off, they just needed lifting up.

Forget to say, your polo's looking great Joe, black 3 doors always look the best when there shining
