Got a bit of an update again!

Gave it a good old wash. It was hoovered, foamed x 2, washed, dried, polished with autoglym super resin and then waxed with dodo juice hard wax. The wax was a nightmare to use as I could hardly see it! It was worth it after it had rained overnight, shame I havent got a picture of it!





Me and my brother got on with swapping the headliners over including all pillars, handles and visors. Took us in total about 6 hours! But the results are well worth it




I asked a friend to mock up some photoshops up for me, prepare for sun glasses!






It looks a million times better lowered but what colour?? I quite like the pink ( :ashamed:) but the more i look at the dark grey it looks quite mean!

This is what my "storage unit" has looked like the past few weeks!



I've recently bought an ed30 rear bumper (can be seen in the above pics - cheers holty) and a mk5 MFSW!

A friend has got some spare lamex left over but Im not sure it will look right on my fog lights, opinions?

Cheers

Car looks really good looks very similar to my old mk5 before i got the gti.
Personally i think blue would look really good on your car, i have kawasaki green bbs co for my reflex silver so dont go green :grin: also had them done in a satin black but got bored with it as they get lost IMO

keep up the good work  :happy2:

I strangely like the pink wheels too, although I don't think I would be brave enough to have them on my car.  Dark grey looks mean but I do like them standard too.

I think you car would look even better if you got some skirts like mine.

What can you get away with arch wise without rubbing? I thought 8.5 18" or same but 19".  I like 19" wheels but wasnt sure over the 35 profile tyres had them before and remember them being very harsh.
