1990 Mk2 Golf GTi 8v To do (No order) Exterior; - UK Pressed plates - DONE - Coilovers - DONE: But is going lower - 2 headlamp debadged grill - Tint indicators and side reps - Tidy up body work - 15 alloys, currently looking at Modern Lines 15x8 - Heko wind deflectors - Stickers on rear window Interior; - Seat Ibiza GTi leathers - Sony headunit - New parcel shelf - Remote central locking system Engine and other; - Refit standard airbox - General engine bay tidy up - Service - New backbox
Anyone got any comments or suggestions? Is there a way to deresrict the original airbox? Im new to VW
a lovely looking mk2 there pal but does not need stickers in the rear window, they only slow you down, your airbox can be drilled to allow more air in but i had HRH Toyotec optimise my car and he just took the front air funnel off to allow that extra air, debadged grill an absolute winner for me
Nice Mk2 there, cant go wrong with a black one Nice Ra's too The only thing i'd do is put a 4 lamp GTI grille on there.
Hahaha, I'll buy a couple and see if i like them, they suit some cars done in a certain way i think. Just drill below the filter yeah? I have done the same in both my Corsa's. And cheers mate As said below its blue haha, anyone able to tell me the exact colour name? And I got a 4 lamp grill with it, with the spot lights too so I can see which i prefer Cheers bud
Pressed plates are already on Coilovers will be going down lower, not too much though Grill has already been ordered Wind deflectors are a maybe, I'll get them and see what they look like on Stickers, again a maybe - They'll probably be removed if they go on to be honest
it looks like royal blue to me but could be helios what is the paint code in the boot on the sticker? la5u is royal blue
Got back from work today and decided to have a good look over it and see what could do with replacing and took some pictures of body damage that will need sorting at the body shop. Could do with... New D/S headlight New D/S tail light New D/S window mechanism New parcel shelf New P/S boot trim And now it needs a new aeriel... The top cap had some off it, and when I was ****ing about with it, I snapped the inner part, its like a toothed plastic rod that the motor uses to push the aeriel up and down. I also replaced the cone filter with the standard airbox. Grill should be here this week Any comments? Dan
Just got back on my lunch and saw the box sat in the hall way New grill arrived so i've just fitted it, looks much better IMO. Any comments? Dan
hmm, id prefer a later single light grille with a black badge, or a proper gti red stripe grille. why remove the badges? be proud of owning a VW
Prefer the original grille too and why did you drill your pressed plates? Couldn't you just have used fixing tape? Looks a tidy car though, enjoy
New window mechanism arrived today and just been out, in the rain to fit it - Much better, window actually stays closed now
Hi mate, Nice car but think the 7 slat grill looks alot better than de-badged but if we were all the same and all that......lol
