Re: Something For The V-DUB Guys....

It is indeed the Revell GTi. I had intentions of following you with the widebody Rieger (i think that's how it's spelled) kit. But today when I picked up the GTi and some styrene sheet, they were out of tamiya expoy putty. So, I used the goofy, but still cool aero parts. I needed to use the flairs because of the wheels I'm using.

Where you planning to use your hood scoop thing? I'm probably going to have to make a new one for the hood to clear my air cleaners for the dual carb 283.

take a look at the all smiles uk golf tuning companys demo car the interior is amazing, stripped carbon everywhere, shame i cant find any photos! seen it for sale in redline (uk tuning mag) for £15000 (about $27,241) and worth every penny (cent) of it.

as for the revell kit im a bit confussed by the fact they didnt put out a big bumper for the standard kit (1990 onwards spec look)! looks better on the real car so why not the kit? and there going to be a pain in the butt to scratch build

i'm not making any hood scoop, it will be clean (german style )
but it's a great idea to put a v8 in a golf
and those goofy fender flares where with the kit right?

Nice ingredients, should look cool when finished.

I'll be following the progress

For those who wants big bumpers for their Golf, Scale production makes a transkit for the Revell Gti 'Tuner series' to transform it into a GL.

Take a look --> Scale production
