colour_concept_VR6 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Well i thought it was about time i started my own thread so here we go!I've got a 1996 mk3 colour concept gti in Jazz blue, had it for about 18 months now and have truly fallen in love with it! The inital idea was to keep it for a year then buy a VR6 as i was only 19 at the time and insurance wasnt too good for the VR as you can imagine.I binned the gti last year before christmas and made a right bloody mess of the front end. Decided to keep it and rebuild it though.Because i've spend so much time and money on the car im not quite ready to part with it but im sooo bored of the poxy 2ltr 8 valve engine.My mate ( VR6_walker) has gone to the dark side and got a focus st sooo im having his engine soon! Anyway heres some pics How she looked when i got her!When i binned it Part way through the rebuildThankfully the majority of the damage was cosmetic apart from needing a new rad! Also stuck some new coilies and tyres on it though whilst it was on the road.Rebuilt and back on the road waiting for paint I had the wing and non texturised bumper sprayed and left the bonnet black.And then slammed it!And this is how i rolled (bounced - cheap coilies are pants)! Soon got fed up of the black bonnet as i kept seeing too many chaved up paxo's etc with them so i got that sprayed. Also replaced the front bumper for the normal gti one with the black texturised strip. Put the standard grill back on with the VW badge sprayed black and stuck some genuine hella angel eyes on.Got bored of the lights and they didnt really go with the black/smoked theme so i swapped them at the weekend for my mates hella twin lights with a gloss black surround. Looks much better i reckon. Gave it a quick clean and here is how she stands todayAlso had the boot smoothed a while back and removed the spoilerRecently changed the front discs and pads and found a bargain set of 4 toyo proxes for £117.. fitted for a tenner and well chuffed!Thats about all for now, I'm sure ive missed out some bits! My mates breaking his VR so ill be getting the lump from that as soon as ive gathered the cash. Ill update as soon as i can.Thanks for reading.. any tips, advise, constructive criticism etc all welcome! Link to post Share on other sites
