Thanks guys, here's the promised update:
Started off by taking the grille apart and cleaning it as good as I could
And then put it back together, Wasn't too sure on using the 16v badge but theres some slight marks on the grille from it so I decided to put it back on.
Cleaned the Mk3 headlights aswell
Before
After
After that we turned our attention towards the beauty queen (this is her good side)
She had a bit of a knocking sound going on so we replaced the drive axle, which looked like so (note the rubber cover on the closest end)
Shortly thereafter I started stripping down the front of the golf
And after taking the longest time to make sure the hood was sitting even with the fenders it looked like this
And, last, the amazing fitment
That's it for now, going to start sanding one of the last two wheels tomorrow, they would all be done by now if I wasn't so lazy lol.
And please no **** on the headlights, I'm going to replace them.Last edited by Pierate; 04-18-2013, 10:47 AM.

Thanks, agreed on the futuras, unfortunately they were 17", 5x112 and ended up being 9,5" wide because i cant measure for shit lol. Though the original plan was to put them on an audi, but that never happened.
I'll make sure to run some sick splits on my next car though.

I like the colour on the wheels and good that you gonna give it the 20years look again, imho it looks just boring without all the red decals n badges!

Speaking of which, I wouldnt mind rocking the red stripe all around once again if the striping tape i used would hold better, it started to come off after some washes Other then that the only red will be the front badge and side badges.
I like your mk3 a lot and I have no choice but to go for black gti headlights after seeing yours, well, until you changed them lol
Well, now I'm all excited to get stuff done so tomorrow is garage time

I use 3M foil on mine. They sell sets which use that foil on eBay germany. Just clean the plastic with silicone remover before you put the decals on and it won't come off any time soon

Heh, the paint was pretty meh on the hood though and everyone is running vento fronts nowadays.
Anyway, good news, I should be getting some money soon so I can buy some tires and whatnot, finished painting the wheels aswell.
The red stripe should also be making a comeback soon
