As some of you may have known already, bought a GTi this summer, and it's been giving me a stupid amount of grief. I've finally been getting happy with it so decided to post some pictures of the work done on it.
This is the car that gave way for the GTi...

When I picked the car up..

Then came a very long roughly 3 months period, when the car pretty much sat in the garage having all of the following work done to it..

New engine put in
New Cambelt & Waterpump
New Air-con Compressor
Air-con Regas
Service

Then the BMC came!

Then managed to do black pillars with Sooty's help

Then came a long list of small things been done. The red piping around the grill got changed, as well as pressed UK plates

TT Pedals

Kamei Door Sills

Monkey

New Door Handles

Aero Wipers

Also got a VW black tax disc holder, and Enfig S2000 Aerial

Then came some cabling

With this..

And this..

Then came a 900 mile journey to Aberdeen.. Car looking like this

Someone say wide?

Then these came home and got a real clean

Then look at the stance!

And then they came off for a while to have these on..

It looks great

I still love these GTI's. I'd still have one despite their foibles.

A UK-P sticker wouldn't go a miss though, to balance out the "other" one

lovely mate, best choice of wheels imo as well...such a good stance with the RM's, have fun polishing them when it gets to summer, nothing like the reflection off a well polished lip

It's on coilies, my guess would be about a 50 drop or so. Doesn't scrub until you hit serious potholes/uneven roads at serious speeds. Would say pretty much perfect height, as gets over speed bumps so easily too!
