VW GTI Progress Pics

Here is the VW Golf V5 that I am converting to a two door GTI. I have shaved all the moldings and door handles. Cut a custom front bumper. I just finished the seats and harnesses. I added some bare metal foil to the pedals. The dash is kinda plain but that is how it is in my real 1:1 GTI.

I think I am going to make some floor mats out of masking tape and put some black flocking on them.

Coming along quite nicely!!!:cool:

Looks good so far. What kit is that ?

Yes, looks very good.

B-pillar? :(

btw nice ride

It's coming along nicely.Great to see a 2 door Golf.

how did u make the seatbelts

Nice progress~!

and nice interior I would like to know how you made that seat belt...:)

does everyone PRime the interior, including seats/dash??

Thanks for the replies.

To make it a true 2 door I should have moved the B pillar back a little, but this is a rare kit and I didn't want to mess it up. I pretty much just put putty over the door lines and door handle. I then had to re-scribe the front door line because on the 4 door it is concave and on the two door it is concave.

I didn't prime any of the interior. The seat belts are from the studio 27 belt set.

I think I am going to put a custom front mount intercooler behind the big opening on the front bumper.

Looks to be coming along well...the intercooler will look great on it :cool:

Hi,
nice beguining.......it will be interest with some brembo discs and larges wheels of 19 or 20"...... that's the best way that i thinking......

The wheels going on it will be BBS's Most likely the RX or the LM if I can get some. I have the RX's already.

lol were you sniffing your model paints while writing this post out? haha :bloated:

What color would everyone suggest I paint the LCD screen for the navigation system?

BTW the model doesen't look nearly as crappy as the pics above. For some reason my digi cam's flash brought out every flaw in the paint. You really can't see the brush marks.

I was thinking about doing that or getting a screen cap from a movie and shrinking it down. but I kinda want the car to look like it is off. unless I put in some headlights and a dome light that comes on and off. hmmmm that would be fun but would take a while to do.

what did you use for your seatbelts?? and is that flocking i see?

Studio 27 and yes it is flocking. I may need to re-flock the floor mats, the flocking is a little thin on the edges
