My 1.1 Posi blue forte

[Bluck]

So, here it is, my first car
Got plenty of ideas of things to do, but not sure where the funds are gonna come from lol. Anyway, here she is the beauty

The bonnet is a slightly different blue for some reason





As soon as I got it, I frizbeed those crappy hubcaps, and chucked on an old pair of VTR wheels

Heres a list of what i'm planning to do:
Refurb VTR wheels, spray black or dark grey?
Bee sting arial
106 Gti interior
front 13cm comps, amp, eventually a sub
T-cut Badges
mesh colour co-ordinated grill
Angel eyes front, Smoked back lights, side repeaters
Window tinting
VTR spoiler
Lower 35mm front, 40mm back
VTR bodykit

I know theres a few flat arches that look like this tbh, but I don't mind, I haven't seen one in my area and I like the blue/black look

Any more suggestions then feel free to post

Haha, i've been a member for a while now and been looking at some progress threads, and I have stumbled across yours before and got some ideas from it
Imo thought the team dynamics wheels would look better on a vtr bodykit but looks good man

I would get them powdercoated personally, but alot of people have done there wheels themselves Spraying smaller parts like centre consoles and mirrors etc are easy, its just experience i suppose mate.

I bought my wheels for £180 without tyres, but my mate got a quote for £45 per wheel to be powdercoated, so isn't too bad, just got to phone around and see, if not you could practise on a spare wheel and see how you go

Yeah I noticed that aswell
Was gonna get mine resprayed. Guy I brought it off said it popped open when the previous owner had it, and he got a new bonnet and had it resprayed, but it was the wrong colour

[Bluck]

Right, got the interior finally sprayed, and did the grill while I was at it. Looks fairly tidy I thought




Lost the trim on my stereo




I'm now looking for a decent set of GTI leathers
