VW Mk2 Golf "Deep Blue" project

Not a huge update, but today I installed the shaved color matched plinth I made:

it's the small details that count.

how do you open the tailgate now?

Yes, exactly.
The switch for the antenna opens it. I installed a door motor in the tailgate and wired it to the switch for the antenna (since it didn't work anyway). I want to get it wired so it works on my alarm's remote eventually.

Today I put the original orange indicators back on and installed arch flares.

Recently replaced the rear springs with some Eibach ones that are 2 coils shorter than the old ones. The back arches sit right at the top of the tyre, equal to the front.




I was going to replace the front ones too but the springs that are in now are only just captive, so couldn't put any lower ones in. Will be looking into coilovers.

Yesterday I went and got one of the resonator's (one in place of the cat) deleted as it was rattling. Also got a new tip made up which I mirror polished today.

Recently I made some half smoked tail lights and also smoked my crystal indicators and the side markers. Also added a red stripe on the grill, as I felt the front looked a bit bland without any color. Really happy with how it looks now.

[Jarred]

the smoked look works quite well!

Thanks man
I agree, the old orange ruined it I reckon.

As much as I liked the quad light grill, I got this grill for cheap so thought why not, time for a change.
