Firstly i started off with me GT. Loved the car to bits and never really thought about getting anything else. Though winter me Brock B2's took a bit of a bashing to i took them to the Wheel Clinic in Northampton to get them refurbished. Instead of getting the dished diamon cut i got them powder coated silver which to me made more sense as imo they look better and are easier to take car of.

When i took the wheels in i noticed a silver GTI in the car park and asked the guy whos it was and funnily enough it was the guy who was doing me wheels lol, i had a poke about and he said he wanted to sell it so i said i would ask about and see if anyone i knew wanted it. When i went back to pick the wheels up i saw it again although this time i swear it had a big sign above it saying buy me!!!!

Over a little pondering and weighing up what would be better i decdied to try and convince the mrs to "lend" me an undisclosed figure. Supprisingly after showing her some pictures it took 4 hours and the deal was done.

Had to wait a bit for him to sort a few bits out and to for me to get the rest of the money together but on friday i picked it up

Piston head pics

With the arrival of the car i now have 2 sets of steelies 1 set of baby G60's 2 sets of teledials and a set of Brock B2's

Specs of the car:

Model: GTI 6N2

Engine: 1.6 16V VVTI (Standard)

Suspension: Standard

Brakes: Standard

Wheels and Tyres: 15" Teledials 165/45/15

Exterior Styling: Red Piping around grille

Interior Styling: Standard with heated leather

ICE and Security: Standard alarm and 6CD/Tape player

Car has done 90k and has had full VW service history and has had clutch, gear box and cambelt done twice.

First thing i did when i got it home was to unscrew the arial as i dont like it and i dont listen to it so no point it being there

Before

After

Also noticed that the splitter was a bit scuffed, will get this sanded down asap

Sneaky one with the GT

Brock B2's Yae or Nae - before reburb on the GT unless you look close they still look near enuf the same now

How they look now

Plans for the car

Basically want to keep it simple. At the moment I'm broke and owe money so it wont be hit with the lowering bat untill i have paid debts off. Hopefully, coil overs, black mirror and visors, clean up tatty roof lining, clean up the engine bay, de badge polo off the back, stubby aerial and sort splitter out.

And at the moment solve this problem lol:GTI Problem

Any help comments or opinions welcome

thanks for looking

A nice pair of motors there mate, especially the wheels on the gti!

However PLEASE for gods sake de badge that rear- having those badges in the wrong place looks sooooooooooooooooooooo rubbish!

i know lol literally i dont have enough money to buy some tar remover atm will be done asap

update time, been doing uni work all morning so brain is a little fried...

Sanded down front splitter and gave it a coat of back to black, its not quite smooth as i want it by at least bits of fur wont get stuck on it anymore

Took front wheel off, in hoping to a test fit on the brocks however i dont have the thing (cant think of name) to get the adaptors off, so that halted that plan, gave all the calipers a good clean and now they look more pink than red so think that a respray will be in order shortly.

Gave the back badge some love, can you spot the tractor hiding in the pic lol

Had a good look and it seems like the polo and GTI badge at the back are stuck on with the sticky pad things so hopefully wont be too much of a problem to get off, will do it when i get some tar remover. Hopefully before i kill me self from this assignment

thanks

quick 15 minute job today - flushed door pins.

Before

During

After

First one took a while as it was mainly trial and error on how much to cut, by the end of it there was about a 1/4 of the thread left on it. got some nice blisters on me fingers from all the screwing lol.

Sneaky one

after breaking me ABS rotor i limped the car to the garage to try and get it fixed. turned out it was what i though it was bent and the seals broken so had it flattened out and re welded for 80£ so although it would have been better if i didnt do it in the first place it didnt cost as much as expected.

Any ways picture whore time with the brocks on (needs lows, dirty car, black berry pics amd still having paint on the tires)

Updates

Got some headlight protectors from eBay

these came

with these in

Brocks went a funny yellow/green colour so they went back to refurbishers. so had to do this

with this

to these

driving on balloons for a bit

Was hoping to fit they before i went on hols on but didnt have time so going to leave them off until i get back. Plus i know for a fact they have some nasty pot holes and speed bumps in wales so probably for the best.

Decided i was getting bored of listening to the same 6 CD's so robbed the CD player from the GT as it has an AUX port to plug me ipod in. However since doing this I've lost the use of the CD changer as the one from the GT doesnt have the slot for it to be plugged into. I dont know if its possible to get the slot for it so it will connect, will have to look into it as I'm no audio specialist.

Done

Hung me hoola to me ninja

Dewipered the rear

All was going good then FML. Basically going down a road wide enough for a car to be parked on the side and two cars able to pass eachother whilst one parked. Car on otherside of the road opens their door as a box lorry is going past it, lorry has to swerve into my lane i have to swerve to avoid it and brushing the kerb with me front passenger wheel causing this.

Me and lorry driver proceed to have a go at stupid person who opened their door who claimed they didnt see the lorry. Person apologises and lorry driver gives me 30£ to try and cover damages which although may be silly i didnt want to take as it wasnt his fault but he insisted so i now have to take the wheel in to be done for the 3rd time lol.

Megs whoring

Am posting this from the cottage we are renting for our holiday in wales :)

Staying at a place called llangenyth (think thats how it is spelt)

Car before we left when it was fully loaded up

Some pics with the car at the cottage

Random caravan lol

Me fav

Really wanted to get the car lowered before we came but am seriously glad i didnt get around to it as there are some nasty speed bumps getting into beach carparks and being pushed off the road by landrovers etc lol. Seriously dont know how people can have lowered cars in the sticks like this, if i put satnav on at the house it says please find the nearest road lol.

Not really seen much in the way of dubs just 1 black Lupo in mumbles with a moody bonnet and a faint view of a 16v corrado

I took pics with me house mates camera which i robbed but forgot to bring the charger lead so its not run out of battery lol

Thats all folks comments etc welcome :)

Its looking nice mate, its funny the exact samething happened to me just after i finished refurbing my wheels! :(

PLEASE debadge it already for the sake of mankind, thats my only criticism!

:p

yeah i know, I'm guessing it was debadged by a previous owner then another one decided they wanted the badges back on and put them on in the wrong place lol

Looking great mate, except those badges haha.

Bit of a bugger about the alloy tho, but it was a least nice of the lorry driver to offer you £30 despite it not being his fault. There are some nice people in the world then :)

badges will be gone when i get home from wales lol. Yeah i know lol i didnt want to take it at first as he shouldnt have really been offering me it lol should of been the other guy, but he insisted.

It's not the end of the world and the picture makes it look allot worse than what it actually is just a bugger having to change the wheels again for a week while the other one get refurbed

Yeah it is a bugger changing the wheels over for that! At least its not that bad as you say then. I'd be fuming at the guy that opened their door. Stupid people!! lol

Glad to hear about the badges coming off

An update that hopefully some of you will like :)

Right as halfrauds are having their BOGOF on car cleaning stuff i decided to treat myself and brought this little lot

Expanding my cleaning stuff to

Luckily for me the VW garage is right near halfords so popped in to treat myself to some mats. Guy didn't know if they were still being made so he is going to get back to me

The bits that you will like, Am armed with this

And done this

Hope u likeee

Am going to attack the car with the rest of the products if the weather holds later

Comments welcome :)

Haha..... Yup I do like! Looks much better :)

I was thinking about treating my car with the BOGOF deal until it decided to break a tensioner!! Bloody thing!

Looks so much better with the badges off, it's surprising what a difference it can make!

Good work mate, keep it up! :)

bloody rain really wanna clean it but cant >.<

needs spacers bigtime!

Looking good now you've got rid of them badges

needs spacers bigtime!

20mm spacers in the boot waiting till i fit coilovers to put em on :p

Well had a good cleaning session. Used a clay bar for the first time and i think it was the first time the car has seen one too lol. I didn't get the standard picture of it filthy as anything as i packed it away lol but it was pretty dirty.

BUGSSSSS

Few before pictures

Some after ones

Long overdue but got me coilovers fitted thanks to some help from a mate. Air guns ftw lol.

Got some 20mm spacers for the rear but the bolts arnt quite long enough for them to take so waiting for payday to get some even longer ones lol hopefully that should sort the stance out a bit. Front coilovers are wound all the way down and backs have a bit left on them. Car is carrying some weight in the boot so the stance aint great lol also I'm not the photographer i just point and click so am waiting for me flat mate to get back to take some proper pics

Also finally got me mats come through from VW so heres some little OE goodness

Comments etc all welcome :)

Hi mate

Stumbed across your GTi here only to realise its my Wifes old one, she sold it over 3 years ago. I just showed it to her and the response i got was "ahhh i kind of miss her" lol

hi mate look sweet shame about the wheel but looks fixable. just a question do you have the part number for the mats please? cheers sam

Very nice. I happen to have a 6n2 in silver and just bought some of these wheels lol But I'm painting my middles red. are they 15x7 ? if so what size tyres are on it. Love the stretch. :)
