MY G Reg Jetta GTI 16v mk2.. Well new for me

well doh on the MOT but still. nearly nearly there now, gave it a quick wash today and some back to black, how does it look shame its missed inters, but there will be other shows. a few things to do yet, mainly new rear number bar because its so bent, fit the 90 spec boot cover, the spoiler and the drivers side skirt and front arch (had to oder a new front arch as the one with the car was too damaged to put back on.

here are the pics from this afternoon.

even if i do say so myself i think it looks awesome especially from the front

Sorry you cant make Inters. Maybe you will be at Santa Pod 6/7/08 ?

It will give you more time anyway to things right without rushing it.

Can I have it back now please

just posting a quick update with my heater control pics as there is nothing else to report. cars going in for the mot work tommorow, god knows when ill get it back

give me some time to find a few more bits tho, front arch was the wrong side from vw so should get the replacment this week then i can finally fit it and the skirt after that its just the spoiler.

just doing my head in now tho, all these snny evenings are killing m not being able to be out and about in it, will be winter before i get to drive it properly lol

im so gelous steve she looks awesome im lost for words

thats one of the cleanest looking jetta valvers i think i've ever seen!

thanks

Good to see you've altered the sig. Now get it dropped, subtlely of course.

brilliant stuff!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i now have a fecking MOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont wanna know how much it cost, practically had all the rear brakes replaced calipers etc, plus other stuff. would have done it myself but i just wanted it on the road now as its been daft.

going to get the road tax tommorrow if i have any money left :s lol

drove home the very long way around from the MOT place, ill be honest i was shitting myself, evey time a car came the other way or i went round a corner, all i cold think was for gods sake dont stack it now lol

still seems to go around coners a tiny bit better now the arb bush's are done.

lets hope its not raining tommorrow night when i get home from work, might give me time to put the last arch and skirt on, then its only a few more bis and bobs to sort out.

well done mate, i'm made up for ya , you taken your baby to santa pod this weekend.

cheers

cant make that unfortunately i went and booked a holiday aaaages ago without realising it was the same weekend DOH!!!!

lol i think ED38 will be when it gets to its first proper show, fingers crossed. should give me some time to sort out those little annoying bits i need to do.

Bet it felt ggod on the way home. Did you find yourself driving past any shop windows whilst slouchin down in a gangstar lean.

Top work though, bet it feels good being nearly there, i'm still aiming for Ed38 for the VR'd machine. We can get some plates made up, Beauty & Beast(ly).

lol i like that idea :d, to be honest i went a country lane way home and i didnt dare look side ways lol hope the weather is nicer tomorrow so i can go for a cruise lol

its nice but i actually have so much to do, all the intirior all the stereo :s so much wiring for that argh lol and really i want a new boot bild if i can, and i already have to start looking at how best to lower it and a new back box, not to menion tryinng again to fit the titl and slide without scratching the car lol

Glad you got it through the MOT. Is the 1.8 staying for now?

yes i definately cant afford messing with engines at the moment id imagine the 1.8 will be staying for a good year or two, as long as it keeps running fine ill probably leave it alone.

been out and about in it all night, really loving it really comfy and smooth a great drive, handles fairly well has nothing on coilovers, but its so comfy im not really fussed. it really really needs lowering tho. and a proper wash.

managed to fit the arch and side skirt tonight so looking alot more complete now. if there is any sun tommorow evening, might go somewhere to take a few more pictures

took a few more pics the other day, no changes as i havent had the time, struggling to get the bits i need, looking everywhere. however from the right angles it still looks great

So, what are the future plans?

well lowering is definately in order now, but at the moment i really am skint got a few things to sort that will soak up a few more pennies. however ive got the stereo in now which sounds fairly nice.

thought id stick up these two pictures of the doors before the cards went back on.

basically my brother used to work at a garden center and gave me some thick rubber pond liner stuff so i thought why not!

Also you can see the cards are fibreglass resin'd to make them water proof to stop water damage.

seems to work well and its quite alot quieter in the cabin now which i like.

you can also see the connectors i put on for the speakers so i can remove the door cards a little easier.

finally here are some of the car at edition

also ive been browsing the mk2vr6 forum a little lately.. just thought id add that on... lol

Hey .. just took the time to read all 8 pages of your thread. Great persistance.Great Jetta. This, lowered, is what we all want lol

Door cards look great, exactly what you need to get a good sound.

I'd def keep an eye for a good VR donor, can't wait to get mine in.

i really like this!

it is so clean!

Lovely motor mate ive only just got the chance to read all the threds.

Got to say top job

I still havent had any luck tracking down those numberplate surrounds or clips but i will pm ya if i stumble across any.

cheers for all the positive comments people, really nice to read them all.

@jay, is yours not done yet!? lol wouldnt mind finding a rear ended carrado lol but i think im dreaming there! quite please with the cards, just need to fit my tweaters now, however im already missing my focal front speakers these rainbow things ive been sold are no where near as good shame i cooked the tweaters on my focals

@mexican, cheers mate hope you liked it in the flesh at ed38, im sure everyone thought i was crazy at how much i was cleaning the stupid thing lol just imagine thats all the cleaning i do and it aint that clean imagine how much cleaning the people on the concourse to :S ps loved your wheels

@dirtydubber cheers again bit of a mamouth read i know lol will get lots of pics up when i eventually get it lowered. the number plate surrounds are an arse, im hoping to just happen across one at the scrap yard or something


shoudlnt be long now untill i can loose my high tect boot opening strig woo! lol i just hope the solonoid never breaks or the boot will be closed forever lol. just wish i had more time to do more stuff, still got a set of 280mm breaks to fit that ive had for years...
