#1: First Car - PROJECT 206 2.0 gti Author: justh, Location: BlackpoolPosted: Mon Mar 11, 2013 10:30 am ---- This is my first car so i'am pretty happy with the power of it as we all know how much insurance is these days.
I have owned this car a week. (It wont be on the road till at least April)
Don't forget that i'am totally new to cars so i'am learning as i go.
Here is what i have done so far...

If it's your first time, go to a scrappy and get a spare set, and spray them, (probably costs around £10 for a set). If it turns out alright, shove 'em on. If not, bin them, and you've only lost 10 knicker plus the cost of the paint
#12: Re: First Car - PROJECT 206 2.0 gti Author: justh, Location: BlackpoolPosted: Mon Mar 11, 2013 4:31 pm ---- So it is possible to get the exact match in colour even tough there plastic.
Cheers for the help
#13: Re: First Car - PROJECT 206 2.0 gti Author: colganraz, Location: LeedsPosted: Mon Mar 11, 2013 5:07 pm ---- buy same colour paint as your car by matching the colour codes, IIRC the code is either on the stamp on the inside of one of the doors or engine bay but someone else probably can confirm. There are some good spraying guides on here also, few base coats of primer, paint then laquer.
Lucky you not many people own a GTi as their first car! good work on the brakes too, impressive for a newbie!
