My steel grey Ed30
« on: November 24, 2011, 08:47:02 pm »
I thought i should put some decent pictures on here after my poor iphone attempt in my newbie thread  :ashamed: Only had the car a week and absolutely  :love: it, managed to give it a wash, clay, polish and wax on the weekend so it looks a hundred times better than when i picked it up. I need to get the front bumper resprayed to make it mint, i think its been caught on a kurb at some point. Hope you like it  :happy2:

I'm properly impressed with it  :smiley: I love the way its so lazy to drive you can just totter around in top gear one minuite and the next you can get a serious shift on without any fuss. Its so easy to drive quickly. And the mpg isnt as bad as i was expecting either  :happy2:

Smart indeed, fella! My fave colour  :wink: and you've got the important bits of the extra spec, Xenons & MFSW etc...

It makes the Fabia look tiny parked that closely!  :laugh:

Thought i'd better update this, still in love with the beast. Had the bumper sprayed before xmas so its now pretty mint  :smiley:
Have already bought some bits for it, including a carbonio intake and panel filter


Carbon fibre wrapped my grille badge, and fitted open fog grilles along with pressed plates. (sh*te photo  :ashamed:)


Fitted some front mudflasps so that the sideskirts dont get so chipped


Purchased the S3 front brake upgrade, massive improvement over standard  :happy2:


Also got some chrome effect window switches and some Gti seat inserts.

Here's how it looks after a clean  :love:


And its also booked in for stage 1 on the 18th, Shhhhhhh dont tell the wife though  :scared:

Nope, straight fit. They are genuine ones for the normal GTI. I think they were £35 on ebay.
