GTI bumper
 

.

Well had a go at the bumper today first of all took the grinder to it and chopped out the the top so it will match the bonnet ;)
witch i will fiber glass and filler flat ! need to do some more on each side then make some custom brackets and it wont be far off !!
some picks ( ITS ALL JUST RESTED ON ) ie not bolted on yet so no comments on the shit fit lol :A:





Comments please !!

How do i edit my posts ? and the title of my thread ?

Really interested to see how the front bumper turns out

.


Rite small update : i have made 4 custom brackets out of metal so there nice and strong ! 2 each arch and 2 in the under each headlight , got it sitting nice and sturdy :y:
i fiber glassed the top where the bonnet meets the bumper and started to fill and smooth off . just a small gap at each side of the wing and alot of prep work to do :n:
what do you think should look good when its finished !

Yea me too ! lol i was looking for something different and haven't seen this before ! but i can see y as it takes some customizing. just need to put the time in to get it rite ! not too easy when i work 6 days a weeks and the misses complains when i spend my day off in the garage lol

Some pritty serious work going on here, looking foreward to seeing the finished result :y:

Really liking how the bumper looks. I love seeing things that not everyone does. Keep it up.

i really like the look! cant wait till its finished.

Looks amazing, try get the GTI rear bumper on too it should look very unique :)

Cart believe no one has commented on my cheapo temporary mirrors ! there well gash with reflective plastic instead of mirror lol will be changing those !! of to get the gti 16v striped down and give it a de-grease tomorrow hopefully have picks up soon ( and the bumper finished !! )

Yea looked into this and like the front it can be done with a bit of work ! im getting a pugsport exhaust so it would solve the problem of it not lining up with the vtr rear cut out !
its just alot of work tho and need to get cracking getting the 16v in but i wont rule it out tho maybe one for the future ! :y:

looks different mate liking it :y:

different i did like the kitted pics tho mate, im going to be putting a gti rear bumper on mine so that i can smooth the boot out but wont be doing it for a while will be nice to see this coming along

Engine clean up !
 

.


Took on my engine today with some de greaser and wire brush , took ages but im happy with the result. gave it a lick of paint aswell :p
Also the guy i bought the engine off said it had just under a grand spent on it and i found the l.a.d stamp witch is nice to see, ill get the receipt off him so i know what has been done. What ya think ?

Mines a 1.6 8v vtr and the engine that im putting in is out of 106 gti thats had some head work done so it will be loads faster for me ! :A:

as for you it will feel like a whole new car youll really feel the difference in power even if you put at 8v engine in as there abit cheaper. ive been running a 8v for 3 years and there not exactly slow did me fine! or put a 16v in if your after that bit more baarp lol
hope this helps

it should look good when done pal

love that bumper mate, awesome idea! i'll be keeping an eye on this for when it's all painted up :y:
