Title: todays modification
Post by: DubwayDan on December 07, 2008, 11:40:21 pm
well actually i have been workiing on this for the last couple of days, i bought a gti grill from ebay at a bargain £12.50  :happy2: the reason it was so cheap is because some of the honeycomb where the gti badge goes was damaged so i repaired it and sprayed in matt black with a candy white 'bit'?

....I would normally agree with you wholeheartedly about that, but I don't think his car actually is a GTI and so perhaps it's a subtle way of being 'honest', together with leaving off the GTI badges.

Like the look of that mate and if you do go off the look in time it's not like you have paid a fortune to for it  :jumpmove:
