Jamie's MK1 Gti Tintop Project ...Miami Blue :D

car's looking so good now jamie    will look very close to finished once the carpet is in. is it a newton one?

think black leather bolsters with that cloth in the centre will look wicked

Your mk1 is looking good Jamie. Fitting up is the best bit - can't beat seeing new or referbed bits up against the fresh paint.

Bloody lovely!

Thanks Guys ….I know I really like it just added the cost up though will be £360for 4m by the time iv payed shipping and import tax lot of money       only other thing I can think of is to do them in standard grey stripe but with the leather or viynal bolsters :/

hi guys bit of an update…slow progress though at the mo im afraid mainly due to me being self employed and not having any work at the mo ..So no money to spend to get the last bits and bobs, I did go and pick up some seats and door cards from a member on here few weeks back. Not bad condition door cards cleaned up well, no speaker holes in them which is nice ..seats will be re-trimmed when I decide what material to do them in and have the money lol

Must also say sorry for the quality of the photos my camera has broken so these all phone pics

Sanded the bonnet to remove any orange peel hadent done this yet as was keeping it out the way


Polished it up


Fitted it

Next up was the trim clips put all them on


New Chrome trim on …


Rear strut brace that came with the car

Painted it to match

Sealed up the doors with some plastic sheet and cleaned the door cards up and fitted them …. Need to find some speakers I can hide under the dash 

Couldn't have found any brighter colour underlay lol did have to put more around the tunnel area so the carpet wasn't baggy

Carpet all stuck down

Then managed to get the rest of the interior bits fitted aswell


Hopefully be some more updates soon
Jamie

Thanks mate is not perfect though

Evening, I need some help and opinions from you all I just cannot decide on what material to get my interior re-trimmed in the mk6 golf tartan I did want is just too expensive unfortunately so I found this I think could look good its tweed



Other options

Full black vinyl with horizontal fluting
Original gti stripe with black vinyl bolsters

Any help guys ?

thanks
Jamie

 

As in your photo looks fantastic

Liking the tweed chap.  

I saw some car seat fabric on e bay which was black with blue flecks simular colour to the exterior of you car it was cheap too something like 8 quid a meter but i do like that black and grey tartan. 

Great work mate! Looking very nice
