thought it was about time i posted some new pics
« on: August 09, 2011, 02:33:58 pm »
alright guys haven't been on here in a while. i have been concentrating on getting the mk2 finished which is almost there now apart from its respray, and also moving in with my girlfriend didn't leave me with much spare money. so i figured after 18 months or so of not really spending any money on the mk5 it was time to start again. not alot has changed since i last posted apart from a bit of carbon wrapping but its booked in at tsr on the 19th of sept for its service, mot and ITG to be fitted. im planning that by this time next year the car will have had the k04 conversion then i will be saving for coilovers and a quaife diff. here are a few pics of how she stands now anyway.

comments welcome as always

Car looks mint mate. Not normally a fan of non colour coded bumpers but have seen a few that have been treated with some form of plastic enhancement that makes them look really good.

Loving the black on red theme and the carbon touches.

Looks great! did you just wrap your original grill?

What did you do about the holes? :popcornsoda:

cheers. yes wrapped the original grill before i got my mate to wrap it (who does it for a living quite handy :grin:) i just got some plastic filler and filled the holes then sanded them smooth. very easy to do. then if i decide i don't like it at any point i will just have it wrapped in gloss black again. as i never was a plan of that number plate plinth

Car looks great, really like the grill.   :happy2:

I just happened to notice the tyre rotation on your o/s/f is the wrong way round. Probably just needs swapping over with the other side if you've had your wheels off recently.
