Title: Hello Everyone, Advise on a GT conversion maybe?
Post by: KhansGolf on March 29, 2012, 04:29:21 pm
Hello everyone, My name is Umar, im from East London and i just bought a 1.4 2006 silver 3dr golf (sorry its not a GTI but im only 18 and insurance would have been 5 figures)

The car at the moment is bog standard, i have just put on some GT Sport alloys which are these..http://cdn.cbsi.com.au/story_media/339291874/vw-golf-gt-sport-tdi_1.jpg

Im thinking of also converting the front end to that of a GT (like in the pic above). Any advise from someone who has already done this or someone who may know someone around london that can help me getting the bumper and spraying it?

Anyway, once again, Hello everyone.
