Show build maybe?
Hi thought I'd start arts thread on my 88 gti after a bump needing wing and bonnet and front light socket here's my pride and joy as it was
Owned her 8 years and think it will be with me forever
So after bump I removed the wing bonnet and front panel
Then I decide to take engine out to do a conversion then one thing led to another really always wanted a clean bay so went to work 😂

Good grief that's what you do after it's been 'bumped', dread to think what you'd do with a smack! 😉
My Mk1 has been bumped 5 times and my Mk6 has had two bumps and a smack but are still in one piece! 😂
All joking aside, superb work I must say so all credit to you. 👍
