josh newman · « **Reply #79 on:** February 08, 2013, 10:35:37 pm »

i dont think there's anything sounds good tho don't it haha

well update with work done got pics but so busy will update when i can so hold tight might just wait until its done to hold the suspense

pick up new wheels tomorrow as i sold mine today

there 18 x 9.5 rears and 8.5 fronts with a 3 inch dish haha

vortex splitter arrived and fitted to bumper looks nice front and rear bumper off to the painters

depending on how the wheels fit may depend on arch work so they may be getting rolled

also bought some bump stops as im staying static atm

interior i dyed with simply spray dye worse stuff on the market dryed horibly and said black and looked more grey so i tryed
simmons satin black paint and it worked a treat and only £2.50 a can compared to 10.00 a can for simply rubbish spray

all i left to do is the roof lining and sun visors and interior handles

ive started to carbon wrap the interior parts interior light and sunglasses holder going to wrap the centre console again as i noticed
a scratch in it so doing it again

i think thats about it atm lol

finding it very to find time im an ac engineer and work alot of hours and sometime 7 days a week as i have been for the last 3 weeks and will be for the next 3 as of next tuesday im away in brighton for 2 weeks so car will not be worked on only on weekends after work as im back then this will be ready for UD but as of yet i havent got it in ive sent 3 emails with spec and pics and also called but no joy yet :(

well heres how im getting on

front bumper removed and new bumper arrived front and back off to painters monday

new bumper oem gti bumper smoothed and i bought a vortex splitter

then i removed wheels thought it was time for something new

seeing as im doing it all so quick i could not afford genuine bbs rs in 18x9.5 and 18x8.5 so i got replicas brand new today really happy with the quality

streched rubber

centres not fitted just a rough idea

interior waiting to go in as im in the process of dying the rest of the interior only roof lining left to do

hertz speakers and cross overs real carbon bits lots of blue bits haha

just a test fit only rested in

as for the interior dying here is how it went i purchased 2 cans of this stuff called simply spray £10.99 a can or ill call it simply gay it isnt very good
as pictures will show you it struggled even make the interior black and once dryed showed stains i never new i had so as i trial i tried simonz satin black
spray paint from a can £3.00 a can off ebay and it worked so much better and did not leave the interior parts crusty or hard as i thought it may

SIMPLY GAY

simonz sating matt black aerosol works so much better and covers more

heres the results

this is the out come of simply spray (gay)

as you can see its awful so plan b came along , the top one is simply spray (gay) bottom one is simonz aerosol look at the difference

a pillars using simonz aerosol

b pillarsusing simonz aerosol

c pillars are now done to im just left with roof lining sorry for the poor quality of pics the wheel in person look so much better then the chs i also
installed some bump stops as she will be staying static for a while just alot lower haha thankyou for reading will get some more up as and when
the car has proceeded
