Title: My GTi
Post by: liver on September 10, 2009, 02:42:17 pm
orite people

ive only just signed upto the site

here is my gti, pics were taken the morning after i picked it up and  lad had been using it before i picked it up and i also had a 70mile trip home so it looks filthy, i picked it up last thursday night

gave it a good clean on the friday night and gave the leather inside a good clean and got it looking alot lot better than in the pics, also had to spend a good 20/30 minutes jsut on the exhaust as it hadnt been cleaned propperly but got it shinning and gleaming again but this was after these pics aswell

pics after a full detail with my kestral etc will follow but these will do for now

Its a shark fin antenna and you have to under go a lot of work to fit them to a Golf. the early models had them i think and the top spec stereo has various types of these.
Fitting means swapping the base out which means dropping the roof lining. Possible but messy.  :sad1:

Rear bumper + Diffuser looks the dogs mate, I'm going to go for that shortly when I have some spare cash.

Same colour as mine so I'm a big fan  :happy2:
