Title: New member from Southampton
Post by: Deago on November 28, 2012, 02:11:40 pm
Hi all!

Just picked up my GTI a week or so ago and got some bits and pieces on the way already. R32 bumper sourced from this very forum.

So hopefully i will have a build thread coming along some time soon too! anyone from around the Southampton/Hampshire area?

after much fighting to separate the top from the bottom and the valance it finally went to get painted today so should have all the rear on by next week, lights went on last night and exhaust will go on as soon as the bumper is all painted!
