#3: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:45 am ---- Looked awful IMO too!
That was off within 12 hours of owning the car. The ones on the wheels have been removed too.
#4: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: jase123, Location: yorkshirePosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 12:38 pm ---- thats a nice looking gti
#5: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 1:01 pm ---- I second the comment about the rear sticker
Looks alot better now and them white wheels on your car look sweet
#6: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 1:51 pm ---- Thanks for the comments.
Glad you all like it (not that it matters if you didn't, it is my car after all!)
#7: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 6:54 pm ---- is this the one i gave you a link too that was in devon
#8: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 6:56 pm ---- oh and phase 2 rear are needed along with glos bumpstrips and maybe black wheels
#9: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 4:25 am ---- Yeah, it was that one.... Thank for the heads up... It is a goon-un
I has almost the full SP kit on it. Headlights, Pedals, Filler cap, Grill, gearknob, handbrake. It used to have arches (you can see on the paint). It was a right little bargain.
Looking for Phase2 Boot Strip.... Not 100% on rear lights, but the Phase1 lights will look out of place with the boot strip.
Not going to Gloss the bump strips though.... Not a fan of that look.
May wrap them in a really fine weave carbon fibre, so it has a bit of a shine from a distance but very close up you can see the detail.
#10: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 11:26 am ---- just make sure its a smooth surface before you wrap them as it shows imperfections
#11: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 11:39 am ---- ask the seller of this then paint it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peu...720wt_1169
#12: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 11:41 am ---- i dunno why but i think this car would suit white chequers on the roof
#13: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 12:59 pm ---- Have plans for the roof, but they are staying under wraps....
Like the Carbon boot strip though.
Will PM the ebay seller about the Strip.
Thanks for the links
#14: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 1:04 pm ---- More pics from today. Had a little meet with more 206's

#16: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 1:18 pm ---- We have been debating who's is lower!

#19: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:28 am ---- ** UPDATE **
Phase 2 Rear Lights and Bootstrip came and were fitted today (Thanks hobnob48) so the car got a nice clean as well.
Liking the look of the Black Bootstip, so thinking about Gloss Black-ing the Alloys and all the Bump Strips..... Then maybe a Gloss Black roof.
#20: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:29 pm ---- looks good dude will have see in person tho
#21: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:50 pm ---- Yeah, will do that soon
#22: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:28 pm ---- I'd raise the back up a touch, and straight up the exhaust
What happened to the sill lip on the passenger side?
#23: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:53 pm ---- that looks ace mate totally transformed it lol good idea huh id maybe go with antracite bumpstrips or colour coded and maybe gloss black
#24: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:29 pm ---- I don't know about the sill as it was just like that when I got it.
I assume that it has been jacked up during its life and maybe slipped a bit, or the jack hasn't been correctly put on the sill and has bent it a bit.... Would straighten up easyily enough, but it isn't noticable really.
Exhaust will be getting looked at when it warms up a bit, I am pretty sure it is just a perished rubber, but it doesn't knock around, so is fine for now. It does its job, will be centred as an when.
Not going to raise it though, as it doesn't rub or anything, even when loaded... If it ain't broke
Craig, It makes it look much more modern... Can now pass of the number plate as a personalised reg! Lol
Thinking of bump strips, roof and alloys in gloss black.
#25: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 6:06 pm ---- black morettes too
#26: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 5:02 am ---- Maybe.... If there are any at a reasonable price
#27: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 8:21 am ---- Or colour coded h7 crystals
#28: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 9:12 am ---- Like the idea of them, but I couldn't take these headlights apart.
They were built in 1999 but they are properly like new. It is almost unbelieveable. 20619d can vouch for that!
#29: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Updated 09/02/2012* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:33 am ----

It is going Gloss Black, along with the headlights, alloys and arches.
Possibly CC if I ever get bored of the black

#37: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Small update 13/02/2012* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:56 pm ---- might make it look high though
#38: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Small update 13/02/2012* Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:23 pm ---- Id cc the arches mate otherwise it will look like you have huge arches at a glimpse. Just gloss the front/back bumpers and lights and wheels. Then cc arches and bump strips.
#39: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Small update 13/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:44 pm ---- I'm still undecided.
I think it is going to have to wait to see what it looks like
#40: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Small update 13/02/2012* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:52 am ---- just buy some cheap black spray paint or just cover them in electrical tape before you do it
#41: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Small update 13/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:17 am ---- Gave the car a good Wash, Polish and Wax today.
Also, took advantage of the good weather and sprayed the Alloys black.
Much better than the white I think.
Morrettes and arches due to be coming on Thursday. Can't wait.
#42: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:40 am ---- Yup wheels look loads better black mate!
#43: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:42 am ---- Thanks.
Did like the white for a while, but they get so dirty so quickly it just lets the rest of the car down
#44: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 4:29 pm ---- i have black arch so c wot they look like so no if cc them or not
#45: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 5:06 pm ---- Yeah, can pop over once the headlights arrive.
You will have to let me know when you are free... Because I have the Cargo Net for you as well
#46: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 5:41 pm ---- you should get 20619d to do your gloss black strips his look ok tbh

#48: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: hobnob48, Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:15 am ---- Looks good mate. Lights and strip have transformed the back end. I would get the bumper strip sprayed up in the same black as the boot strip
#49: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 5:00 am ---- Cheers.
Not going for the screen in the boot. To me, that would be a pointless (but quite cool) mod as I would never use it.
Yes, planning to Gloss Black the bumpstrips.... Just need some warmer weather and more paint.... Or someone breaking an Onyx Black one, and selling the bumpstrips cheap.
#50: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Wheel Colour Change 14/02/2012* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 4:47 pm ---- Hi All,
Due to a postage delay, I am still waiting on my Morrettes and SP Arches so have been itching to do something to the car.
So, out came the Gloss Black Paint....
And here are the results...
Shame my camera hasn't quite picked out how good the finish actually is.....
It has made it look a bit metallic, but the colour isn't. It is just a really nice Gloss Black.
I think it may be time to move this into the project thread section, so if any admin read this, please could you move it for me? I would appreciate it. Thank you.
#51: Re: Pics of Diablo Red GTI *Now a Project Car* Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 9:42 am ---- Hi All.
Had a big clean of the car today (23/02/1012) after it being sat under some trees for a few days.
So, it had a nice warm wash and a wax all over. Only Polished and Waxed it a week or so ago, so the dirt came off nice and easy. Have got sore arms now though.
So, a few pictures of my efforts..... Just a shame the camera doesn't pick out the cars true colour... Shows up the damn stone chips clear as day though
#52: Re: Big Clean Up 23/02/12. (Pg4) Pic Heavy Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 12:52 pm ---- fancy doing mine mate
#53: Re: Big Clean Up 23/02/12. (Pg4) Pic Heavy Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 1:43 pm ---- Looking good. Nice clean bold look.
#54: Re: Big Clean Up 23/02/12. (Pg4) Pic Heavy Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 2:02 pm ---- Your camera is a day ahead of itself
#55: Re: Big Clean Up 23/02/12. (Pg4) Pic Heavy Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 5:19 pm ---- Yeah, my camera is set wrong. But it eats batteries and it takes so long to set the date/time that it is not worth doing! I can only take 1 or 2 pictures on a 4 hour charge (getting a bit old now!)
20619d, I can do yours if you like... If you can get it up the driveway! Lol
