Rippers 'never' finished black gti build
Rippers:
More parts arrived this week:
Vortex VW golf ball gear knob
And a couple of bits from RichardGTI on here, black grill emblem and polo aerial.
Started working on a mk4 tailgate emblem too.
Looking forward to the weekend to get everything on.
lukemk5gti:
Be interested to see how you get on with the mk4 emblem!
As I said, I tried it but couldn't come close to perfection so opted for mk6 in the end!
croak2012:
I completed installing new Grab handle trim / switch panel trim but now the two switches for passanger windows don't work aaaaaaarg!
I don't really want to take it off again haha because the grab handle insert broke when I took the original driver side trim off and I had to buy this:
I didn't have to take the whole door panel off because the grab handle insert part comes off of the whole part if you unclip the easy side first and then the other!.
couple of things I would do next time -
1.remember to take the metal clips off the old part!
2.use a plastic catch bag so the torx 30 does not fall down into the door!
3.wire is a must! I had none! so I used my abus combilock cable - worked a treat haha
best tutorial on yt is this one:
Rippers:
Sounds like you had a bit of a nightmare mate
Rippers:
Got a few cosmetic bits done today.
Pulled the old gear stick out and cut the retaining clip off
Vortex golf ball fitted.
Then installed the black VW emblem. Easy job, 2 screws and it untwisted.
