Had a look at your car today at Udubs. Have you altered the fog surrounds the piece around the actual fog light protruded further than a normal set, or was it just my eyes.

Looked great.

No I haven't altered them that's the way they came, I'm not entirely happy with the fit on them so will be getting some genuine US spec surrounds.  Cheers

Cheers, I saw you too. Was a bit pissed off at that point as the guy on the gate wouldn't let me in until my fuel gauge was down on the red, so had just spent the last half an hour going up and down the dual carriageway in 2nd and 3rd gears to burn off some petrol and then had to wash the car again. So i was well happy to get inside and get a few beers in while getting the car cleaned up

So I made a few changes in preparation for UD's, here's a few pics from the weekend:

New US spec fog grills painted gloss black to match the honeycomb centre grills. Also went back to a chrome VW badge although I'm not sure whether to keep the chrome or go back to a black badge so all opions welcome   


Edition 30 front splitter colour coded red with the lip done gloss black


US spec rear bumper (with shortened number plate recess) colour coded red with the lower valance done gloss black


Thanks for looking.

It's been a while so thought I'd update.

I had decided to change the colours on the rear VW badge and my initial plan had been to change the black background to red and the VW badge to black. However after rubbing down the VW badge to remove the red colour I quite liked the look of it, giving it an almost brushed steel effect, which I thought might look good against the red background. So I laquered the VW badge and put it on the car, might not be to everyone's taste but the longer I've had it on the more I like it 




I'd also managed to damage both front wheel arches when I had the 19's on with the Audi 255 tyres. The tyres had basically pulled the inner lips of the arches and that had eventually led to the paint flaking off. So I put the Golf into the bodyshop while I was away on holiday to have the damage repaired and the arches rolled to prevent it happening again, it also meant I would be able to lower the coilovers a bit more . Anyway I got back from holiday the on the Thursday before we left for E38 and picked the Golf up that evening. Due to picking it up so late I didn't have time to lower it before going down to E38 but once we were back up the road I tickled it a little bit with the lowering stick 




The rears are now all the way down but the fronts can still go a bit lower so I may take the rear spring helpers out to get it that bit lower

When the first lot of grit went down on the roads the polished rims on the 19's did not like it 




A bit of elbow grease and they polished up fine, but it was definitely time to change them over to the Monzas for the winter.



Then of course came the snow, and this is what I came out to find the first morning it snowed

The car looks better with the 19s when lowered IMO. Any close ups of the badge to see the brushed effect?

[SKAVIA]

Agreed! The car looks awesome on those 19s and sits just right 
Cheers for posting the updates and the pm Kenny

Don't have any on the computer just now, I'll take a couple over the next few days and get them posted.
