Apart from the rims (which I'm still unsure about), the car looks better and better with each mod!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

 :signLOL: cheers mate. The rims are a 'grower' (just made that word up!). Wasn't too keen on them myself at first but I think they suit the car. Looking to change them for TD Pro Race 1.2 or 1.3s when I can raise up the funds!

Got myself a real CF front badge thanks to a certain member selling his amazing ED30 and putting it back to standard.



Also, gave the car a quick wash and took a few pics.

Apologies for the amateur photo skills  :signLOL:

Car looks 'hard as'!  :congrats:

You don't seem to be hanging around when it comes to getting it looking the way you want it!  :happy2:

Keep up the good work!

Cheers mate. Really want some more CF bits but being made redundant hasn't helped...  :sad1:

Anyone wanna employ me to fund some mods?!  :signLOL:

Looks much better and the rims definitely look good now!

Another update:

After getting the carbon badge off Hurdy, my carbon fettish has continued thanks to Greeners!  :laugh:

Also, thanks to Neg for the red GTi Badges....

I also had a go at wrapping some interior parts with Carbon Di-Noc Vinyl. Not the best of jobs but it will do for now...









Really happy with the front end now. Just need to sort the centre section of the splitter out...

Big thanks to Greeners for supply and fit of the carbon grill  :happy2:

Hi mate, Was good to convoy with you, sorry didn't get much of a chance to chat to you, wanted to ask all about your car as it looked fantastic.
Is the rear badge a carbon fibre one too? Where did you get it as it looked really good.
