Garth's GTI build thread
Garth:
My springs are being fitted on Tuesday.
Posty brought me a couple of parcels today. One was a new pair of Bosch front Wipers which I have now fitted. So much better than the cheapos I had before!
Parcel number 2 is this thing:
I'm undecided about whether to fix it up and fit it or send it back though as the quality is rather poor :sad1:

Sorry to hear Garth, that obviously wasn't what you wanted!
Is it an ebay jobby? I assume it's some sort of R32 bumper, surely that's a replica or was it listed as OEM/Gen?
I'd deffo be on the prowl for my money back on that one! :fighting:
Springs might be Sunday if I'm lucky, if not next Sunday so we'll have to post up pics and compare! I'm buzzing :jumpmove: :grin:

Yeah, it's an ebay job and I knew it wasn't genuine. It looked too good to be true as it was described as 'plug and play' and 'perfect fit'. To be honest if I can find the time, I could make it fit and it will still look good after some adjustments.
I'm going to do a trial fitting either tonight or tomorrow and depending on how that goes, I'll either keep it of send it back... fingers crossed! :grin:
My springs are being fitted tomorrow, so am I beating you to it? :P

They'll be photos of a very dirty car I'm afraid!
I went away for the weekend in my other car and on Sat I had builders replacing some lintels. When I got back, the golf was covered (both sides and roof!) in cement splatter. I need to be careful when I wash it that I don't do more harm :sad1:
