Post by: lady_gti on April 21, 2014, 12:48:34 pm
Hey, newbie from Gatwick area. I have recently purchased my 1st Golf GTI in stunning reflex silver with a few decent specs. I'm hunting for inspiration on what to do first, keeping it OEM looking. I've started with the basic service bits (oil service, pcv, diverter valve, airflow metre, discs and pads, tyres) but what next?! If anyone can drop me some pointers that would be brilliant thank you  :smiley:

So these are the pics of my gti. The spec is 18" alloys, heated leather seats, high line dash, parking sensors and convenience pack. Will post more pics up soon  :smiley:
Now running amazing after a couple of teething problems but nothing that can't be sorted with a bit of tlc  :wink:.

Thanks for the pic advice  :smiley: loving some of the projects on here.

Looking for some advice on my alloys. The previous owner has sprayed them silver and I'm looking at bringing them back to their OEM glory, they are looking a bit like over sized 17".  I'm not sure on the alloy history and what they look like under the paint I no white worm is always the problem with these. Has anyone attempted black inner scallops with a high shine silver on the face?
