All these R's suddenly appearing, very nice.  Made me take a look for one today........

On the subject of RS3, I looked at one but they just feel so dated in the cabin compared to the golf, but the engine is a peach!

So finally had a bit of time during the week to get the paintwork properly detailed and protected. Pics aren't great as it was dark out by the time I took the pics!

So onto the Plastics including A Pillars, Rear Lights and Door Mirrors.

Near Side A pillar:


Off side A pillar:


N/S/R Inner:


N/S/R Outer:


Door Mirror Cover:


And some finished paintowrk shots. Reflex isn't that easy to get decent reflections from, especially when it's dark!  :rolleye: Will get some pics in the sunshine when the big orange ball decides to make another appearance!















LSP of choice was 2 x even layers of Auto Finesse Desire (awesome Wax to use and smells heavenly), and I'll probably stick a coat of Tough Coat over her in the next week or two.

Managed to get the LED number plate lights sorted after trying two different types of CanBus bulbs to no avail, then having to put extra inline resistors in to finally get them to work without the bulb out warning on the dash!

Lots more bits and bobs to come over the next few weeks!  :pomppomp:

Looks awesome. I must come and see this in the flesh some time.

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

Silver really shows off the R's body styling very well - as do your pics, Nath. I love the shoulder running all the way back to the tail lights.

Cheers Chris!

I guess you can use any W5W style canbus led as long as you use these:
