Dubvrs 2008 GTI restoration and upgrade
dubvrs:
The skirt needed a bit of adjustment and trimming as most aftermarket stuff does.
Managed to get the bumpers fully fitted and removed my spacers so I could test fit one of the Land Rover wheels and adapter.
Should be getting refurbed in 3 weeks and ordered some gloss black paint to do the centre caps.

Good build thread. Like what you have done :congrats:

Love those Landy wheels!
Looking forward to seeing this all buttoned up :happy2:
dubvrs:
Did a couple of bits in preparation for the mondials.
Painted the outside edge of the adapters in the same paint as the discs so you don't notice them behind the wheels once they are gloss black.
Centre caps painted just need a couple more coats of clear so I can polish them up.
Been to the bodyshop this morning to sort out the next phase of work so will be getting done over winter.
Plan is to firstly remove the side strips on the door and rear quarter then weld up the holes left. Repair the rear arch. Paint the side and bonnet and blow it into the front bumper. Will get rear quarter glass removed and replaced with privacy version at the same time.
Will go in at a later date for the drivers side.
Going to get a non GTI boot and get it painted with a privacy glass fitted with a carbon spoiler to go with gloss black roof.
dubvrs:
Gave the golf a wash as it was covered in spiders webs. Thought I might as well fit the side skirts until it goes in the bodyshop.
Couple of pics of the car in its multi colour goodness
For some reason my sub box has destroyed itself.
Will contact the supplier on Monday.
