Post subject: My 6-hour GTI transformation |
 |
|
I got bored last weekend ........let me know what you think.....
I picked the '08 GTI Black Magic Pearl paint....looks CRAZY in the sunlight....has a slight blue hue..... 
If you look closely, we followed the factory red stripe from the front end onto the hood and then applied threecoats of PPG clear over it.....:bandit:
Not too shabby for painting it in a buddy's warehouse......

Thanks for the compliment.
Haven't had "her" to the track yet, but she pulls really strong through all of the gears. The 2.0 turbo is really smooth. The only performance mod is the APR flash that I did at 800 miles.......other than that, just the Vogtland 1.9" drop springs.
I have 14,000 miles on the car and managed to see a best of 36-mpg so far...which is why I bought it. My Jeep only gets 12 or 13 mpg....  |

Nice job, wish you could of get it closer to the stock black on the bumper.......the consistency of the red line is a nice idea....would of been super if it ran continuously to the grill lines.
This car has tonnes of access. It' available over here now, manual and DSG auto. with leather and sunroof. |

I haven't seen a white in this down here as yet. Mostly seeing black with chrome trimming.
Ride looks sweet man. |

It "was" black on the bumper from the factory. What you are seeing now is Black Magic Pearl (blue pearl) on the front bumper, hood and top of the car. Looks slightly different from all angles. |

| So when yuh puttin on de rest ah de APR shite. Cold air intake and Turbo back exhaust, you already have the software. Those mods together would really make that thing fly dread. I was a tech at a VW dealership for a while and used to work on them all the time like that and they freakin haul ass. Nice paint job BTW. |
