Dubvrs 2008 GTI restoration and upgrade
dubvrs:
Once I get the logbook back my private plate it going on and it's a 5 digit cut down so just going to attach it on the black section or get some magnets.
Temp sensor on lower radiator hose replaced today and no more fans running constantly.
Mirror indicators are full of green moss so ordered a set of smoked indicators and friend has a set of carbon caps he never fitted so will have them as well :happy2:

The side bolsters of the seat aren't leather they're vinyl. You could try one of those generic vinyl repair kits if you want to tidy up the bits on the drivers seat that have worn away.
I only know this as mine has gone too and I'm having it retrimmed in leather next month - it's a right con as it was an expensive option from new for "full leather"!
Aparently quite a few manufacturers do it, just the bits you sit on are leather with the rest vinyl.
dansmith180:
Quite a few interesting and different projects you've had there in the past, be interesting to see how this one ends up :happy2:
Andy:

Ordered a repair kit that's had good review so will see how it looks just the white backing catch's your eye.
H&R springs arrived today and collected the carbon mirror covers off my mate but will get them fitted once my smoked indicates turn up.
