Goodbye 1.4, Hello tdi (still not a gti :( )

<< < (2/2)

FrameSet:
Thanks for the replies. I noticed one of the number plate bulbs had gone so ordered two new LED bulbs and fitted them today. I also fancy getting pressed plates, i've had some people tell me these are illegal but surely they are fine as long as they are reflective? Can anyone reccomend any websites or shops to get them made?

I also gave it a very quick wash, dry, polish and wax while i had some time!


Cheers

Just a little update on the TDI, very impressed on the fuel economy so far! Ended up ordering an ebay special r32 style rear valance, was a pain to fit but got it almost spot on in the end. Got it prepped and painted for £150ish with the lower section done with the textured black paint which i think looks much better than gloss! Next plan is gti skirts (if i can find some?!) and probably window tints.

Here's some pictures once i got the bumper on, it needs a polish!.

Needs some wider wheels!

And here it is in 'drift spec'


And lastly, the new badge

I bought it from ebay, theres a few similar ones listed but this one was from birmingham if i remember correctly. I think it cost £160 posted then £150ish for prep and paint.

The valance was generally the right shape but the tabs for the screws didnt line up with anything on the car! It was a two man job to trial fit it, mark and drill holes and then mount it properly again to the car. I ended up using 4 or 5 self tappers and even a nut and bolt to hold it on in once place! I'm probably the only one that notices the slightly off fit because i put it on! But IMO, worth the money
