Re: Jimmy's Gti **Progress Thread**WHEELS/SEATS/DILEMMA :(**
Finally got round to doing this...........
Bought her back in oct and just signed up to forum and get meaning to start thread
bought her standard just some coilies and lupo wing mirrors
few pics
First photo of her just parked at home (well grans house) just got of motorway couldnt wait....
First Clean Inside and Out
Install Day
also a few pics i took through the winter weeks got bored and had these lying around throught why not for a photo opp (just for sh*ts and giggles)
As you can tell just a tad too big and rubbed on arches
After looking at the forum and some of the BIG GUNS ofthe Polo Gti threads thought bout time i pull my finger out and
start work on it
First was led side lights.........
After looking through my phone at the pics thought id have to start on engine bay so off to halfords.....
Sanded down rocker cover as sun was out but didnt want to take it off (yet) so just sprayed were i could and the end result
Quick clean of the HT leads and end result......
think it came out well to say it was my first time.......
thats all for now just bought bumpers for smoothing as didnt want to take car off road oh and looking though some of the threads of some
of the great Gtis had to steal one idea just couldnt resist looked too cool and unique (Sorry Trotta) bought a TRS Tow Strap
What Ya Think????? good/bad comments welcome also suggestions for best method for changing colour of b pillars paint or vinyl

Re: Jimmy's Gti **Progress Thread**
Wrap the b pillars and a pillar and c pillars otherwise It will look odd I reckon, my thread has my interior in and it's worth a look for ideas on retrimming the headlining etc....
The wheels work well the big ones I like em lol...
