Caputo's MKIV GTI Build Thread

100th post

Finally installed my freshly painted door handles the other day and I'm very happy with the way they came out
I had ideas of painting the woodgrain trim gloss black, which I did but due to the nature of the paint I found it to scratch too easily so I went and used the vinyl wrap I bought a few weeks back

Got sick of looking at tree sap on my windows and after trying multiple methods I ended up using ultimate compound and tech wax and came out great

Then today after getting fed up with a rattle in my sunroof I pulled my headliner out to fix it
It turned out to be a small plastic clip that supports the tilt mechanism on both sides that worked their way off to be metal on metal
Those pieces were sitting against the drain pipes on the inside
So once clipped back in place it was fixed

Also picked up a few pieces from a mk4 at upullit including a new antenna base

Anyways more mods to come soon

I've got a sap issue with my windscreen - so did you basically cut and polish/wax the windscreen? Have tried so many methods to try and get rid of the crap on my windows, from windex and newspaper to a few cleaning products but none seem to work.
Cheers

pretty much man haha
i tried multiple methods off google and nothing would work, tried polishing/waxing and it came out alot better
not 100% but its nowhere near as noticeable
im probably going to get my windows opti-coated in the near future so will be good to have it removed properly

Bit of a thread bump hahah, it’s definitely been a while since I was last on here!

I’ll create a much more in-depth post in the next few days but here’s a little teaser of how she’s sitting atm
