Dubvrs 2008 GTI restoration and upgrade
Rippers:
Love the white Mk2.
dubvrs:
Got my car back on Friday after having a new thermostat fitted. No overheating now just the fans run all the time. Did a quick vagcom scan and resistance to high on radiator coolant sensor so going back in next week for that but no other fault codes.
Managed to get quite a bit done today.
Firstly replaced the diverted valve. Reg G fitted and old one was a G but fell apart when removed.
Removed a lot of dirt from behind the front arch liners.
Stripped the front and fitted a Ramair intake.
Gave the engine bay a quick clean but finish it off tomorrow.
Tinted my fogs yellow.New open grilles along with upper and lower grille.
Removed my broken sunglasses holder in installed my replacement. Led's fitted in interior lights as well.
New matts fitted along with new wheel centre caps and wheel nut covers.
Ordered a set of H&R springs.
Rippers:
You're not hanging around that's for sure.
How tricky is the ram air to fit? Thinking that's my next upgrade.
Personally I love my H&Rs, a great choice.
dubvrs:
Very easy to fit the Ramair just get some silicone spray on the inside of the hoses as it makes it so much easier to get on.
Got a bit more done today.
Mainly tidying up. Polished a load of fine scratch's out and touched in loads of odd stone chips. Still needs a clay bar and waxing but came up better than I thought it would.
Going to find out if anything can be done with the drivers seat as bit of the leather missing and bit below it has come off the backing. May try to glue it back down.
Still needs a lot of cleaning but for a start its come up very well.
Rippers:
Love the front end. How are you going to attach the plate?
