Not yet I haven't no. I'm going to photoshop them in first (I'm a designer...perks of the job!) to see how I think they'll look as I'm going to have them done custom I think, I'll post it on here if it looks any good  :smiley:

Looks very tidy, very similar to mine altho mine looks to have a few more bits on the car and the GTi bucket seats instead of the .:R.

Gonna have to get some better pics and spec info up on it!

Nah that's not me, think a few people have got me confused with him though!

I'm really unsure what to do about the wheels as I do like the ones that are on it, and black has been done a lot now. Just want it to be a bit more individual if that makes sense.

Won't be doing it for a while yet anyway so I've got some time to think about it!  :happy2:

Bought some Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection to give it a wirl, and I'm well impressed with the results!

Thought I'd post a few (rubbish iPhone quality) pics of it.

The pictures are quite dark and don't really do it justice, but farting around with an SLR while nursing a hangover wasn't my top priority  :drinking:

Cheers
