my mint mk2 8valve gti in silver #update, 17/05/07

as promised, a few shots of my jetta!
the car (although dirty,and not the best pics), is immaculate, covering only 55,000 since 1987, and is the only jetta gti I know of in silver, and even vw's records cant find another!

Ive not strayed too far from standard with it, just fitted fk coilovers, a set of audi A3 pepperpot alloys with a polished rim, and fk hub adapters, a full jetex exhaust, a shchrick cam, changed the lights etc, and put a late spec interior in, and loads of polish!!!

let me know what you think!

Did you put that black winyl on the pillar? Or is it stock? I thought they were put on after the face lift. Or was I wrong?

Car looks nice. Although I would paint the centercaps black as well

And what's that on the front bumper? "ZYW"? What's that?

Welcome buddy
like you say i dont think i have ever seen a GTi in silver having said that ive not seen many jettas in silver (thats never occerd to me ) are you gonna stay with the factory look or do you think you will have a bit of a play with the styling. I tried to stay standard with my mk2 but my enthusiasm has gottn the better of me Sweet lookin Jetta though buddy looks great in silver

p.s. what is that wording about on your driver side front bumper

the writing on the bumper is due to it being a scrapyard bumper, having parked my car outside a mates house whilst I decorated for her, cam out, and someone had ripped the bumper off, so this is a temporary fix until I get all new ones, if I can find a decent rear bumper!

anyone know of a straight rear small bumper going spare?

I keep thinking about the centre caps on the wheels, might have to paint them black seeing as a few of you guys think they would look better black!

cheers for the comments guys, Im keeping the car simple and standard(ish), for now anyway!

This is a great looking car.

And i agree the centre caps'd look better colour coded.

These are stick on side strips? If i had stick ons i'd un-stick em in a flash, i love the smooth look! But that's just me.

as far as Im aware, the vinyl on the pillars is factory, or at least I didnt put it there! could well be wrong though, as my old 90 spec jetta gti had them too!

got a few updates to come:

I have just taken delivery of an immaculate pair of chrome trimmed small bumpers ready to go on
Ive lost the centre caps for the moment, looks good without me thinks!

I am also chasing a couple of grey leather interiors to fit in the near future

are these side trims just stuck on? if so, then I shall be removing them

well, a few updates on the jetta front, Ive added chrome trimmed bumpers, after a hell of a lot of searching, these turned up in yorkshire, and Im in kent!
Ive also fitted a mk2 golf gti greay leather interior, with rear headrests, this was picked up for peanuts, and I have to say, once the fiddling of getting it in was over, it looks the nuts!
Ive also taken to running the audi pepperpots without centre caps, and I have to say, I quite like the look!

what do you all think?

Looks great with that bumer. Now you need a new grille with a chrome stripe around it

Im quite fond of the gti badged grille to tell you the truth!
but I may go for a chrome rimmed grille, as they are in stock at my local VAG scrappie!
I definately need to get rid of the red stripe in the rubbing strips, but as its a daily driver, I want to keep the rubbing strips themselves!

yeah lookin good buddy like you say though you need to loose the red line on the old rub strips i tell you what though the chrome bumpers look the muts on there dont they. How did you get the rear seats to sit in there what was the mod?

i really love this, looks fukin schweet. i would ideally like a jetta in silver you telling me there rare?

They are quite rare now you seem to see plenty of Mk2 golf in the color but i dont think ive seen a jetaa in silver for a year or two
