I would have replaced all those Vw clips with jubilee clips though!

Love the look of the car

Cheers Ed  :wink:

Makes it all worth while to get good comments, I must be on the right road!

Pm on its way !

Ed why would you say that, cause I was thinking of using jubilee clips, do you think there would be much pressure in there, as the hose fits over the inserted pipes quite a bit  :smiley:

i can see that you painted the back bumper. Looks like You have also painted the bottom bit of the bumper black im a right?
looks great! im thinking of doing the same to my bumper. i dont know if i should just leave it the normal plastic black colour or get it painted to the black you have had it done too. By any chance do you know what colour that shade of black is or even the code?

thanks

Hey Tomm

Yes back bumper has been painted, but the lower section i left OEM plastic, to match the front spliter.

But have an ED30 Rear bumber getting painted up at the moe, i decided to go with having the lower section of it painted gloss black.

As for a colour shade, i just asked for gloss black man, they should match it to the front grill that's gloss black already! They know how funny i am about everything so im happy for them to work away ...

Few other parts away getting painted also, have a show on saturday, so we will see!

Ed30 Valance will look great in Gloss black Neil  :congrats:

Have you thought about doing the honeycomb grill and fog covers in gloss black too?

They really make a difference  :wink:

Cheers Monte, yes funny you should say that, I had thought about doing the grilles, but not the fog covers, so I didn't think it would have went together...

Having to finger clean in the hole of the honeycomb holes all the time, can take time  :signLOL:

then stone chips... Have you yours done matey?

Re Jubilee clips, use stainless steel ones - They cost a little bit more but are more durable and you can get them on and off without a VW special tool.
