So a few more jobs done this week.........

Bought an OSIR dead pedal rest from the TT shop. Superb service from the guys there but to say I'm unimpressed by the item itself is a major understatement! Yes once fitted it look the business but as a some of parts it's a pile of $hit and must cost no more than a fiver to make!!
The plastic treads are not only brittle and cheap, but warped and 'attached' to the Aluminium with sellotape (which came straight off)!!  :surprised:

Looks great in the snazzy packaging eh!  :wink:


One of VC's specials!  :wink:


Black front VW badge and finally got my plate on....






Wheel refurb and brake whorage coming soon!  :party:

Sorry if you have said... but is that stock ride height?

Wheel refurb? Same colour or something different?  :signLOL:

Looking good. :happy2:

Have you done the boot badge black too or just the front?

Why are you having the wheels refurbed? :confused:

Thanks all!  :drinking:

No Mandy the rear is still silver. Not sure a Black one would look right as it just looks like a nose in the middle of the tailgate in black!  :laugh:

@ Rich, haven't decided on the wheels but have a couple of idea's floating around. It won't be much different from the standard! And I have a set of Eibach Sportlines fitted.  :wink:

No real updates today just some shameless pic whoring!  :pomppomp:

I have to say it, please don't change the alloys. The stock items are really special IMO, and I hate it when people mess with them (that car in the classifieds springs to mind).

Couldn't agree more. It will be subtle and only enhance the standard look.  :wink:
