Golf GTI Edition 30 ..Stage 2+ journey has began

(1/17) > >>

BigA91:
On the 5th of November, I made a trip to Stockport to purchase a Edition 30 GTi. I wish I had taken pics of it but I was so overly joyful lol, I got carried away and didn't take one.

The very next morning, my friend picked it up before I went to work as I wanted the vehicle slightly tinted to give that OEM look. I told him that I wanted it looking like factory tinted glass and not to go overboard lol.

So at 5:15, I arrive at his house to discover the idiot had tinted the whole car and what looked like, the fronts had also been tintied :stupid: . I didn't think much of it as I didn't want to start an argument and drove off lol. It kinda looks like a drug dealers car :sad1:







I know yes... It needs a wash lol  :grin:

A week after that, I had the car washed (promise) and I discovered a few stone chips and the front lower splitter had some scrapes which were only visible if you were on the floor and looked up lol. I knew it was there, so I booked it into my friends bodyshop who did me a good mates rate and had bits and bobs done on the car.





both wings were also done but I only took these pics whilst I was present with the vehicle.





rear bumper had some small parking scuffs etc so that was also attended to



finished





----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I then did some detective work and realized that VW didn't issue the plaque numbers on these as they did on the MK4s. A couple of phone calls later and this happened



Finally! My ED30 has its identity  :happy2:

BigA91:
Living in the city centre terraced area of Leicester, It means I have no driveway or garage to work on my car...BUT that still doesn't stop me from working in the rain lol :wink:

I didn't have a before but, the paintwork did have some swirls and urgently needed attending to :fighting:

DONE



DOOR DONE, REAR 1/4 NOT



As you can see, the door has a much nicer glossy shine as opposed to the rear 1/4 panel





Quarter done





Looks much nicer than pre polish

I didn't take anymore pictures after that as I got carried away working on the car. It was also raining now and then, so I thought I'd get on with it
