Title: I think my GTI is finished?!
Post by: winrya on July 13, 2009, 05:54:11 pm: Today I've finally got to the point where I think I've done everything I want to do to my GTI. After my tesco splitter incident I had the edition 30 front splitter fitted today and I have to say I couldn't be happier in any way. It looks superb and the paint match and finish is perfect.

(BEFORE PHOTOS) Firstly here are some pics of my standard gti 3.5 years ago when i first bought it.

Since then I've added;

R32 tinted rear lights,
Edition 30 rear bumper,
Edition 30 front splitter,
Colour coded side skirts,
Black VW badge,
Open fog grills,
Pressed plates,

I will update the inside because I've made a fair few changes in there too. Need photo's first though :wink:

Here are a few pics of my motor today. A great buy for someone when I eventually sell - Touch wood it's still is unmarked, swirl free, no scratches, dents, and very few stone chips. This car very quickly became an expensive obsession and I'm more impressed with it today than the day i picked it up.

He is still on it. He just hasn't realized his shorts have snagged on a splinter near one of the flat spots. Remember PG was there at one stage and now look at his car. :grin:

Post by: winrya on July 13, 2009, 10:04:35 pm: Thanks for the comments guys.

There may be a few things to come. I noticed while waiting for it to be fitted that they do vinyl wraps so may have the grill wrapped in carbon fibre look and maybe the mirrors too. Also been looking at milteks which would the lead to revo stage 2 but watch this space :laugh:

And just noticed, my slr takes a much nicer image than my ixus even when the resolution and quality is cut :happy2:

Post by: snapey on July 13, 2009, 11:16:43 pm: Looks mad as :rolleye:

Think I'll be doing the same to the front badge this weekend. Take it that it's just a matte finish then lacquered?

It's certainly matt finished but I dont think it has a laquer on top? I'm sure this would make the finish glossy :confused:
