Diffuser attaches to the orginal GTI bumper. Heres a couple pics of the interior bits

[jeffchiz]

how much would you be looking for the parts each? have you not got a pic of the diffuser or a link to a new one? i do want to do something with the rear bumper but im not sure yet what i want

[deano_123]

ill get a pic tomorow, its sitting in the garage. I've put the car up for sale without these carbon parts but will most likely just fit them unless I get a buyer for them before the weekend

ok cool cheers, let me know tomorrrow prices on bits when you get the pic, i was gonna go r32 rear bumper and back box but i might stick to a colour coded rear valance and the carbon diffuser could look very nice

[deano_123]

Hey Jeff, heres some info on the carbon

Carbon dash inserts £75
Carbon door inserts £75
Carbon centre console grab handles £75
Carbon rear bumper diffuser £150

Buy it all Sam!!!

[jeffchiz]

haha i knew youd comment saying that was just a matter of time

tbh i actually like the brushed aluminum interior trim, i do like the carbon more but not worth me spending over £200 replacing something that i actually like lol

if the diffuser is still around around payday ill be very interested i can see the remap getting pushed back another month so i can sort out the rear end

[deano_123]

The grab handles and door inserts are sold, the rest is still for sale

If you don't, you're a fooooooool

[jeffchiz]

couple bits of tidying up, firstly i replaced my nasty aerial

i also tried to polish the headlights with the meguirs restoration kit, did an ok job but im going to have to get more sand paper and give it another go
before


after


and lastly i went to vw and booked a slot with their warranty manager about my rusty wings, he took pics and paint depth readings and he seems positive ill have a couple wings fitted for free should get a phone call from their bodyshop in 5 working days to book me in

ill also get a quote to c/c the front splitter, sideskirts and rear valance

[jeffchiz]

Got the phone call i was waiting for today! The bodyshop have told me I can book my car in so got it in asap which is this monday 4th august, and even better im getting a courtesy car, there was me thinking id get a mk7 gti/gtd but it turns out its a citoren c1 however she said i can contact the dealership and see if they have a more exciting car to have for the week

If it's from a dealer, i'd chase them up

On the car though, it's nice, not the biggest fan of grey seats, much prefer black if it's cloth.. But apart from that, i like it!

Liking the car a lot,the seats look like ford capri seats(no they're not)

love this bud, im a vw guy at heart tbh, my mk4 gti also had that rubbery coat stuff over not only all the knobs but the center console as well and it all got chipped away as you say by nails and stuff i guess. Also my aerial ended up exactly like that too :/

seems like a good buy for 6k, the carbon would be an interesting move especially to replace the dull plain plastic diffuser lol

[deano_123]

The diffuser is still for sale! So is my golf gti

[jeffchiz]

Dropped my golf off at the bodyshop today and picked up this little beaut!






Its a bag of nails, steering is so vague you get nothing and then it suddenly turns, when it does turn you roll out your seat and get sea sick, it doesn't accelerate, it gradually increases in speed, sounds like a tractor, and the boot is better described as a luggage compartment

[jeffchiz]

Picked my car up yesterday morning and very happy with the results, all in the guy said its about £800 worth of work done I got him to start writing me up a quote to c/c all the plastic bits, refurb the wheels and he said instead of re-painting the rear nearside quarter panel (badly scratched and key'd) he can machine polish it for an hours labour to get it 80% better it guessed

Hologram tastic!

[jeffchiz]

lol ill ask them kindly (if i go back) if they can run the polisher over it when they do the rear panel

[Pricklep]

Shouldn't have any after that tbf. I know when mine got painted it had no holo/swirls

[jeffchiz]

im just glad i didnt get one of the usual bodyshop nightmare stories and bit of paint correction is fine by me considering it didnt cost me a penny
