Well i ive got lots of photos of the GSi on the camera but i havent got round to uploading them yet

We only took the GSi to pvs - my car was at home

Still a friend took a pic - so here she is looking nice and standard at PVS.

The day before the show i managed to do near enough everything needed

Fit standard wheels
New tyres
Standard side repeaters
New wiper arms
Stock headlights
Tidy up engine bay (c16xe )
New gearknob (been meaing to change this for as long as the car has been in the household - only just done it

Good clean and polish.......

Da da

Just needs a couple of bits.......
When i was replacing the old leaky rad, the grille broke apart in my hand so need one of those.

Fit a standard stereo - got that to fit

Then the finishing touch - locate where the car originally come from and put a dealer sticker in the back window

Anyway, we digress... the car is lovely Teddy!

Jambone - no chance because that would be a mod

How about adding OE extrsa such as headlight protectors, mudflaps, velour floormats? Those kinds of things that would turn it from a GSi to a GSi+

Think I saw this @ PVS but didnt click!

Was the only 100% standard GSi there I think - and it did look mint condition!

Good on you for keeping it standard - is it in good enough condition that you can enter it for Concours level of competition?
