Ashcroft's 6n2 GTI: NEW WHEELS!!! P27 Pic heavy!!!

[Ashcroft]

Just a quick update of my front grill

I've had all brand new grills in the garage for a long time waiting for mr bumpers to be smoothed but since denting the sill I've decided to do that when I get a full blow over as silver is a hard colour to match so after much grief from a mate wanting my old GTI grills for his 16v I decided to change them the morning of the rolling road and tbh I think it looks so much better I don't know why I haven't done it sooner

[Endi_GTI]

Looks much better dude, taste infact

[Ashcroft]

It does indeed man!
Just need to sort the rear sharan badge but wanna keep the colour code so gonna find a chrome badge and strip it
And might take the GTI off altogether on the back

Just found out I'm off to bath to pick up some dare reps for my mates new mk2 but we'll more than likely stop off on way back through.
Let me know if you don't go in for show and shine cos I won't go else :-p

[Godderz23]

Ok dude pm me your number.

[Ashcroft]

Pm'd mate

So... Not been on here and updated in a while!

A lot has changed over the last few weeks

Me and a mate went to the VW/Audi track day (not on the track just watching)
Took a cheeky snap as I was intruding in the golf GTI stand



Next was a road trip to Penzance to pick up a mint example of mk2 golf

A tear was brought to my eye on the way there :'(



Was just a loose wire for the sidelight which was fixed there and then



Now to the changes on mine...

Cleaned up the rear light tint to go back all reds
Dont worry the rear VW badge is going back to chrome and possibly oem size but I'll probably take the GTI off as I can't justify the £23 VW want for the rear badge



Next was a bit of vinyl wrapping













And these was offered to me by Phil (P mk4)



So I got all 4 home and waited for time off work to get tyres swapped over



Managed to get half day off work so straight to get tyres swapped











And today I went and tried on some genuine VW roof racks





The roof racks are no longer on there as the noise annoyed me and they sit really high, there so big and chunky

I've also fitted a rear strut brace but have no pictures yet as I'm undecided weather to cut the carpet or not


Over the next few weeks I should be getting the vinyl wrap finished (bootlid and possibly spoiler and door pillars)

And fingers crossed I have enough money to get my Borbet Ts back in time for edition

[Endi_GTI]

Looks good dude. I'm rolling my roof bars at the moment as there has been a spot of surf recently but mine are thule and not gen VW. Don't think mine are that chunky. Where they bucklers?

[Ashcroft]

Yeh mate there saves just borrowed them to see if I wanted to get my own but cos there so big I don't think I will

[rover220]

get some thule aero bars with the thule 753 footpack.

i had them on my 6n2 gti and they were great bars, low profile, good looking and barely no noise.

all for under £80 too.

[Godderz23]

Awesome update dude, wheels look great, colour goes really well with silver gti's.

Whens the next gti meet?

[Ashcroft]

I think I'm gonna give up on the roof racks untill I need some but I might still search around for them dude

Chris there the wheels Phil done for me and they look sweet, I'm in the process of doing my originals and I'll probably get red centres

Unsure when next GTI meet is gonna be, probably after edition now dude.
You should definitely pop down for it tho!

I'm sure we're all keen to gaze at the mk1
