Title: My GT TDI 140 - Progress Thread
Post by: jason2601 on January 21, 2015, 10:28:49 am
Some small changes this week. Smoked the rear lights for the R32/Ed30 look, in the process of fitting the GTI rear bumper and sourcing a back box. Also going to change the rear boot badge and repair a small rust spot.

Silver looks so clean!  :smiley:

Shame about the rust around the boot badge but it will look great once repaired! Keep it up  :happy2:

Thanks Chris, I know it's so annoying. I sourced a complete bootlid removed from an Edition 30 in Silver for £75ono still with the GTI Spoiler and bits on so might buy that, as to get this small patch sorted will probably be twice as much  :sad1:

Get it now! The GTI spoiler makes the rear so much nicer  :happy2: Very happy with mine!
