My MK5 Journey

[OllieL]

Car is staying in the body shop over the weekend as it wasn't quite finished.

Am now looking around for door skins for both passenger and drivers doors.
Have a number of dents etc in both of my doors (at least it's the door and not the rear wings) and with the scratches and an odd bit of laquer peel I thought if try and renew these too at some point during the summer. Does anyone have any advice of where to get them from/ has any stashed away?

Car is painted



Should look a lot tidier when it's back on the road!
On the look out for a replacement drivers door skin now so that I can get those renewed and painted during the summer to get rid of the tatty paint on the drivers door and parking dents

Car is back, light was too bad when I got it back to take pics.

The wings are like a work of art how well they are rolled and how straight they are!

Makes the doors look so so tatty now!

Hopefully be back in within the month to have the doors sprayed in now!

In other news I have also stupidly started bidding on new wheels. If a deal can be done I could well have myself a new set. So the Speedlines could be up for sale

Picked up a second hand door today, turned out the guy was less than half a mile away from where I work - so made that easy. Door skin is ripple free, with no parking dents, so an easy job when it's painted



Gave the car a wash when I got home - looks a thousand times better with new wings

Car is now booked in for the doors to be painted. Bit stupid having it done seperatly when I think about it, but the rear needed to done and the doors and sides will be blended in now.

Also managed to buy some new wheels from German Ebay. Hopefully arrive by the end of the week, and I'm off work next week. Will have a play and see what they look like before I decide what to do with them.

Does anyone have any schmidt flat or flush fitting centre caps?

Top effort mate.

Thought id trundle over to Cov and catch up with a few of the dubclub guys





Makes me wish I had washed it now!
Does make me think it needs to go down more all round, or at the very least splitter and skirts are in order?

Looking forward to wheels getting here now

Side skirts do make a big difference that's for sure. Looking good 

[OllieL]

Yeah, you're rite. Really need to look in to that.

Anyway. Bought some wheels, not sure about them though



Not sure they beat the Speedlines



Not sure what to do with them. Painted centres or polished.

Although might need to sell a set now as have house things to pay for

Yeah. The speeches are a timeless wheel. Look factory in a mk5 IMO

Seems a mix of feelings on the wheels, I've had people loving them and then other preferring the Speedlines.

The Mrs isn't happy with them, but she may well get her way now as I might need to sell to pay for house repairs : (

speed lines look good

[OllieL]

For the moment I'm going to press on with the schmidts.
Splitting them tomorrow and then getting the centres to the powder coasters ASAP

Look a lot like the old TSW Venoms! Speedlines IMO.
