Golf GTI MK2 "Yes, Another one :P"

The MK4 is on a hold for a while.
This because of the bad weather (I can't paint or primer the body).

So i'm starting another Golf :P.

This time it's another Golf MK2.
Luckiliy these kits are already 2-door models http://scaleplasticcars.co.uk/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif


Don't know the style i'm going for yet.

A Golf need a badgeless grille, so I made one.

Here's a small Tutorial:

First you have to cut out the part between the headlights in the body:

Also cut out the middle part of the grille:

Like this:

Then you have to make the part that's going to be the new grille:

You just have to staple styrene on top of each other http://scaleplasticcars.co.uk/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

When you have done that, just make it the right height and width so it will fit.
After that glue it in place, and you should have this:

His blue brother looks a bit angry http://scaleplasticcars.co.uk/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif ( I did it the same way with him)

Cool..keep up the good work:P.

i dig it.

very nice...the brother is a litle bit angry? :P
i will follow this.

I know which style i'm going for:

YEACH! You have good way!
Black racer-I love IT!

Which kit is this? Fujimi?

any more pics of that pink mkiv behind the black mkii?

Yeah :bananasmi
Please keep it with small bumpers this time :sunglasse

If we could meet I'm sure we would be friends, we both like the same things :grinyes: but Winschoten is too far for me, It's Zeeland there no?
I only go to Roosendaal or Maastricht, you know why :smokin:

Which kit is this? Fujimi?

Yes, it's the Fujimi kit with the yellow car on top of the box.

any more pics of that pink mkiv behind the black mkii?
Only this pic:

Winschoten is in the north of Holland in Groningen :D

And the plan was to stick with the small bumpers this time :P

I normally do not like outlandish 'loud' cars, but this one seems different. if only you would sell me your mkiv 2-door body.

great progress. are you thinking of the same bbs mesh as on the black car?

yuk, how to waste a vw! this is an ugly one


thanks for the tutorial for the badgeless grill! i'm waiting also for my second mk2, supposed to get it in 2 weeks

go with bbs rs, the will look nice! i put those on my mk2 and i love it.

I have the wheels and bumpers ready.

I used some BBS RS, and made new tires for the wheels because the tires that came with the wheels we're a bit too thick:

I used some spare tires and cut a part out of them and glued the tires on the rims.

And here are the bumpers that are made with BMF (I have to clean them up a bit):

Great, front is a bit wrong, Did you use BMF on bumpers?
Make new low profile tyres (from wheel of bicycle) because that are ugly...
:sunglasse

will it be black too?
very nice job!

woow,nice WIP...i like that kit...

byeee

Well, another great project

PS: I also tried to make a silver stripe on the bumper, but desided not to paint it. Took some thin wire and somehow glued it. And it looks like that:

Just a quick fit, but you got the idea

I lowered the car and have put the wheels under it:
