Dubvrs 2008 GTI restoration and upgrade
dubvrs:
Got a couple of bits delivered this week.
Changed my grille Gti badge for one with black inserts as all my badges are black now.
Chrome headlight switch and window switch's turned up and fitted.
Managed to find a set of tailpipe trims that were for my A4 so tried them on as my tips are looking a bit rough.
Started on my wiper arms as they are past there best. Also got new Bosch blades to go on.
Sub box has turned up so will try to get that fitted over the weekend.
Will be going to VW tomorrow to see about getting my wings done under warranty.
Mitch H:
Where did you get the chrome tipped switches from buddy?
dubvrs:
Got them from eBay. Came from China but quality is ok.
Went to VW about my wings and could not be less interested so went to my local VW approved body shop and they were very helpful. They have taken a load of pictures of the wings and boot lid and will process the claim to VW so have to wait if anything comes from it.
Got my sub box all fitted and sub installed.
Wiper arms were all dry so got them fitted with my new Bosch wiper blades.
Just need to get my brakes and dog bone mount done then will be happy as they are the only bits that need to de done to make it drive better then the mods can begin :happy2:

What did you do to your wiper arms? I'm guessing a spray, what did you use if you don't mind.
I really want a sub in the boot. The amp under the seat is for all? N finally can u take the spare out with this box?
You work fast, your water must be 97 ron round them parts

Just painted the wiper arms as they had faded with a couple of patch's had gone light grey. I used a Matt black graffiti paint from Halfords as it adheres to anything so don't need to do as much prep plus dries very quick.
The amp under the seat just powers the sub as I got it and the sub for the Allroad but was never fitted. Loads of space to get the spare out with the box in.
Couple of pics whilst I was out at my mates doing some vagcom tweaks to get the mk6 golf mirrors working on the caddy.
Exhaust trims look a lot better.
Looks a lot better than when I got it but still need to go over the paintwork to remove some marks.
