GTE rear black strip yes or no

**JC8valve** · 29-03-2003 21:32

Andy, been out nearly all day. My son saw you Friday going along the bypass, he drives MK2 16valve his no plate is the same as certian wheel company, mine is the same as a well known zorst style. Would like to go to Castle Comb but cant, will explain when I meet you. My name is John so if you see me drive by shout loudly.

**andyastra** · 29-03-2003 22:39

what coulour is your sons 16 valver, is it grey, i know theres a standardish , but well tidy one i see quite alot around

**whitie** · 30-03-2003 12:51

im planning on keeping just the black strip, you lose the GTE feel when you lose it
but losing the badges just makes it more stealthy

**JC8valve** · 31-03-2003 13:36

Andy, yes silver/grey, five spokes, I think Magnex twin oval zorst. good car, 3rd owner full service history, even down to washers at 2p each.

Andy, forgot to say I share p/c so I am not always on here or may have to turn off if any of family want to use it. As I am home all the time I use it more so its only fair to let them use it in the evenings.

sprayed on strip ... less hassle than sticker and is a lot shinier...

shouldnt your exhaust be slightly squint? have you edited the picture?

its not a proper vauxhall if the exhaust isnt squint

**Pete R** · 31-03-2003 21:02

Seat Ibiza GTI , My mate sprayed it all , prepped as per usual spray , it was sprayed over the red after I changed my mind about a rear in all red , that splitter was a c*nt to get on

**whitie** · 31-03-2003 22:33

i used to have one of those splitters
what black did you use, any specific one?

**Pete R** · 01-04-2003 20:38

SATIN BLACK.

**whitie** · 02-04-2003 12:02

is that brand/car unique, or just a standard colour?

**Pete R** · 02-04-2003 16:40

Standard colour mate , everywhere does it , all my black trim is done in it too, Ill post you a pic in a bit yeah

**Pete R** · 02-04-2003 16:46

All the trim , skirts , rear splitter is done in it.

**andyastra** · 02-04-2003 18:46

i got to say mate, that is one sweet gte, just right not to over the top, even to a degree quite subtle but deafantly means business, i love that number plate, looks so much better than a full size one, is that legal, or are you just waiting till you get busted and put the original on.

**JC8valve** · 02-04-2003 19:24

Andy, is that smart or what?. I'm well impressed with that, real nice motor m8.

**andyastra** · 02-04-2003 19:27

im well impressed..

**JC8valve** · 02-04-2003 19:43

Know you'd like that. not over done, real nice.

**whitie** · 04-04-2003 14:30

sweet mk2, you get any problems with that No. plate???

**Pete R** · 04-04-2003 16:57

Cheers guys

The plate is held on with velcro fasteners and can quickly be switched for a legal square size one should it need to be!!

**whitie** · 05-04-2003 12:40
