My GTI, ready for show season

cheers…us lot from Oxford will head down to Newbury, then along the M4…so if theres a meet up point on this route please let us know, and we will try and get there!

Cheers

Very very nice! Love the seats. This is what I would do if ever I was doing an interior change. I think fabric seats look so much better than leather IMO. Is that your house by the way? Old cars always look good against that kind of backdrop!

yeah I agree, fabric seats seem to suit the car, and love the old skool feel of the houndstooth pattern. annoyingly there is a bit of wear/tear on the drivers bolster which I will hopefully be able to get repaired soon.

yeah mate, thats my manor…it's up for sale if you are interested? only £10m

ha ha….yeah right, I wish…it's just a nice place I use to photograph my cars.

I have a slight issue with my rear brake lights, the passenger side is a lot dimmer than the drivers side, brand new lights, brand new bulbs!

Any ideas?

Nice looking car you have there and nice subtle mods, I hope to take a proper look around if I make it to the AGM 
Have you checked the wattage of the bulbs? You might have different ones fitted or if its a twin filament bulb (side light and brake light in one) there is also a possibility the bulb is fitted 180 degrees out! Sorry if this is basic stuff you have already checked but I dont know how mechanically minded you are 

Hi All,

Few of you have asked for some "before" photos, so here you go…the first few were the day I picked it up (make he think "why" did I looking at it now) then a few of the bay striped…all my work was done inside 9 months.

thanks, yes I am definitely going to be at the AGM, 100%. Also, cheers for the tips on the bulb, I have not even looked at this yet, so will check these out asap.
