Dubvrs 2008 GTI restoration and upgrade
dubvrs:
Not got a lot done due to constant rain today but went through my parts bins from previous cars and got a couple of bits I can use.
Found 5 new puddle lights for the doors with looms so will get them done some time.
Found a pair of plastic door latch covers and fitted them.
Test fitted my pioneer amp under the passenger seat and fits spot on so will get that installed for my sub. Just need to order a box as already got a 10" JL sub.
Removed the GTI badge off the boot.
Ordered some more bits as well.
Resin 3D number plates.
OEM led number plate lights.
Pair of lower ball joints as the rubbers are starting to perish.
Mk6 boot handle and gloss black badge. Going to colour code the bit behind the badge.
Gloss black VW grille badge.
Number plate bracket for the front.
Set of new controls for steering wheel as mine have a couple of marks in.
Black coloured leather balm to restore the steering wheel and gear knob.
Set of window switch's and headlight switch with chrome on.

After a week away with work got a couple of deliveries and got kracking.
Oem led number plate lights fitted.
Sorted din pocked for iPod and iPhone in centre arm rest.
Mk6 rear boot handle badge removed and started prep and paint.
Just need to polish it and fit my gloss black VW logo on.
Number plate bracket turned up but paint was poor quality. Cameo off when you touched it so repainted.
May shorten it so it sits closer to the bumper but allows air into the open grille as it is.
Couple of more bits to do over the weekend.
