Zaino is nice-n-easy to apply (says he who knows feck all about detailing!)

Great stance with that subtle drop and I think silver is my favourite colour for a Pirelli.  :happy2:

Where did you get the front badge from btw? I'm due a new one and the Eurowagens one has caught my eye...

This one....

Clips on to the original backing and is plastic, so no chipping like the painted ones do!  :happy2:

Nathan, I got the same badge, but how do you take of the original silver badge? Do you just prise it from the backing? Presumably you're better off taking the whole thing off the car to do it?

I've looked at this also and from reading a few guides it seems easier to remove the full grill. (4 screws) then seperate the chrome badge from the backing and refit in reverse with the black badge. Rich did a guide on wrapping his with instructions on how to remove the chrome badge.

Yed pal once the badge is off it's just a matter of going round the edge prising it off. One of the middle clips may snap but its no buggy if it does. Then the black one just clips back on!  :drinking:

Been a while so thought i'd update!

Finally my Pirelli will be wearing Pirelli boots again!  :jump move:



So in the coming weeks these will be fitted after the wheels have had a 'custom' refurb!  :happy2:

I told him to do that too!

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

How do you rate them Nath?  My Cupra came with them as OEM but honestly cant remember if they were as good as the price (then) suggested
