My MK3 3door CL!

[Anjie_M]

This is my Mk3 CL 3 door golf. I picked it up 2 months ago with no rwc or rego and looking very unloved! I am just cleaning it up for now and will probably use this as my daily get-a-round! It just passed RWC only needing a couple of small things and is booked in for rego tomorrow. While waiting to book it in for rwc we started to clean it up a little bit.

Here is the day that we picked it up!





The first thing we did was give it a bath and a polish!





And here is the bonnet half polished!



Next was the interior, we pulled out all of the seats and console to let us get to everything
Front before



Front after



Back before



Back after



Now that the car was clean, we started to re-do all of the black moulds outside of the car, they were all old and faded.

Masking the back



And painting the back





Back all done



Next we blacked out the front grill and badge and resprayed the front bumper and side moulds black. I am missing the front lip if anyone has a good condition one for sale please let me know!



The stock wheels look like rubbish so i stole some BMW bottlecaps off of my B/F`s car and started to paint them up for the golf!



The last owner of the e30 thought $2 matte black was cool so first we had to strip that **** off back to bare alloy



Next some primer



Then some colour!



And thats about it for now! I have some parts coming from the UK and a set of Coilovers to go on after rego. Once thats done, i will finish of the stereo and see what happens from there.

That looks a million times better. What paint did you use for the moulds?

[Goon]

That's great. Looks a hell of a lot better, slightly ghetto spraying which I love lol

This is awesome

Although maybe I have a slight bias towards white 2 doors haha

Good work so far!

Looks one million times better now that you've put in some TLC and cleaned it up!

Good work. CL's may not be fast but they are a fun little car.

[GoLfMan]

Good work. CL's may not be fast but they are a fun little car.

Have to agree with this coming from us CL owners ahha. Good fun reliable cars and the engine should last longer than the others . Any engine bay pics?

Also if your looking for a lip, someone on the forum at a oem lip for sale for $20 or something. Browse back in the parts for sale thread and you'll find it. If not hop on ebay and purchase yourself a euro vr6 lip which is about $50-100 shipped ! Congrats on your purchase.
