Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #15 – December 19, 2022, 09:26:17 PM A member did the artwork and Pukka Designs made them up. However times have changed and getting the correct reg font is a problem. Mine are really show plates but are exactly the same as the originals !I believe there are some that will still make them up.
Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #16 – December 19, 2022, 09:53:26 PM Thanks for the info Andy . I’ve checked and mine was actually supplied by Contim in Harrow. It’s still got the original dealer plate on the rear . So should be able to use that to get a front and window sticker made up

Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #18 – January 10, 2023, 09:59:48 PM Managed to squeeze another car in my small unit ( 4 cars in a double garage ) with all this rain we’ve had I’ve noticed the golf was getting wet inside . So I’ve put it indoors to strip the interior , needs a new headliner anyway . Then before I sorn it at the end of the month I’ll take it outside to check where the waters coming in . Always so much easier with the interior out .all needs a good clean anyway .

Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #21 – January 10, 2023, 11:32:13 PM What did you use for the water bottle? A dishwasher tablet in a bucket of hot water did wonders for mine.
Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #22 – January 11, 2023, 06:58:27 PM I forgot that one . I just used some mould remover and some tfr and kept going back to it . Good job I did it it was full of muck inside
Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #23 – January 14, 2023, 11:59:16 PM What a journey to collect it! Looks like it was worth it though and appears solid in the right places which is a massive bonus. Its goo to see a few new build threads appearing, I find it motivates me to get outside and work on mine.
Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #24 – January 28, 2023, 06:33:27 PM Well with the interior out I have tested to see where the water is coming in. Everywhere pretty much . The guy I bought the car off never used it and just garaged it for 3 years so that’s why it was so dry when I picked it up .so we’ve got the usual door membranes. All 4 . Rear tail lights . Rear badge grommets.So all pretty easy fixes . But also the sunroof is leaking . I’m checking that out tomorrow ,Drains etc. anyway interior is now pretty much out
Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #27 – January 29, 2023, 02:28:00 PM Headliner was dead and the sunroof leak just finished it off. I’m going to try one of the ones on eBay . Heard good things about them . Headliner world one unless anyone knows better ?
Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #28 – January 30, 2023, 08:48:35 AM I can vouch for the headliner world ones.Fitted one to mine, went in a treat and fitted well around the A B and C pillars too.
Re: Pearl Grey 16v 96k miles Reply #29 – February 01, 2023, 07:52:30 PM Thanks Dave that’s good to know .I treated myself to a cheap wet vac . Karcher Wd2 plus . Was only £50 in the sale .with a cheap b and m stain remover and a bowl of hot water we turned this
