Looking good that!

Where did you get the Pillar Covers and Mirror Covers?

Thanks

Good ol' eBay. Was around £80 for mirrors and £60 for pillar covers if I remember correctly.

Cheers!
If I were to change the colour I'd go the same colour as my wheels.

Keeping this up to date. MOT was due and knew the fronts needed replacing. Bought Uniroyal Rainsport 3s - so much grippier than the budgets they replaced - in wet or dry.
Should have changed them before the needed replaced.
Passed it's MOT with the only advisory being one of the rest tyres bejng slightly worn on the inside edge.
Happy with that.
Gave it a quick wash today - was filthy. Though silver does hide it well.





That's all. Lately been considering removing my intake - getting tired of the noise! I must be getting old.
Will see if can be arsed at any point in this cold.

Lovely car you've got there, I have always liked the look of your pictures, The silver eddy looks great !

I removed my revo intake within 2 months of buying the car because the sound drove me mad. I used to love the whoosh noise on my first eddy but now I think it just sounds crap. Oem intake is best in my opinion

Keep up the great work :happy2:

I've ran a Twintake on an other GTI I had and didn't mind the noise.
That's a few year ago now tho'. Haha!

More little tweaks.
Colour coded the grab handles.
Excuse the slightly dirty interior.


On another note my interior lights keep blowing the fuse. Soon as I offer up a new one and it makes contact it goes!
Guessing I've a bad LED?
So I'll remove and refit all original lights then if they work I'll put in one LED at a time and see how that pans out.

How do you remove the grab handles? just trim tool and pry? thinking about wrapping them in alcantara

Bit slow updating but couple new additions.
Carbon mirror housings and pillar covers. Couple of my pillars were starting to look tired so these freshened them up.


Mirror - doesn't really warrant a pic


Carbon fitted - needs smoked repeaters now.


Pillars...


And a random pic for good measure


MOT's due when I'm home again, and it's just taxed.
Always something.
Really nice example, almost exactly same as mine. My pillars are starting to age a bit as well so looking at pillar covers, would love to see them in the flesh as dont want them to look too cheap and chavvy as I'm an old giffer ( not saying yours look cheap or chavvy....I'll get me coat ) what do you recommend for polishing a reflex car? I'm new to it and want to try a bit of detailing myself.

Thanks! I'm near 40 myself so no youngster. Haha.
 I recommend the covers - relatively cheap solution.
I use Poorboys white diamond the AMGlaze then use AMSeal afterwards.
All really easy to use - I've not got a machine polisher.

Thanks, my mate used to use the Poorboys black on his Ed 30 so that's another recommendation
You don't have a link or eBay number or seller ID for the covers do you mate, want as quality as possible and yours look sweet as.
