Looks lovely. Wheel colour is nice too!  :happy2:

 :happy2: cheers pal! wanted a different colour on my wheels than your average joe!

Love the stretch!  :love:

How much the arches rolled by?

probs about 5-10mm mate, just enough for my rim to tuck into my arch when i go over a big bump or sumat.

Nice, they Look proper mint. What Width are your wheels? Camber  :ashamed:

8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears. The camber is natural ;)

Sweet. Wish I could bloudy fine 8.5J front RS wheels. So nice yours though. Stretch, wheels and decked = sick
Think the golfs just have a naturally phat camber, looks so good!

Wow really nice ....couple of questions ...how did you wrap the door trims ? Can it be done without removing them ? What interior lights did you use ? And how did you clean the engine bay ? ....think the ed30 front spoiler will finish it off nicely

They ping off the door cards. Get some trim tools. They could be done on the car but it wouldnt be neat

the door trims pop off using some trim tools mate, i wouldnt try using anything else to get them off though as you may damage them.

the interior lights are LED's. i got a kit off a guy on here back in January, his email address is matt.towers@btinternet.com drop him an email and he can sort you out!  :happy2:

the engine bay i just used some de-greaser, hot soapy water then plastic sealant after drying it.

well, i thought i would update this slightly as a few more bits have changed  :smiley:

bought some fogs which arent wired up as of yet.



got some Ed30 rears



detailing kit slowly building up  :laugh:



i bought an Ed30 splitter also, sent that off to be painted along with my centre grill and badge to be colour coded to my wheels. got that fitted and its now looking like this :)



how i ran it for a short while:



decided to paint the slam plate as it was looking a bit dodgy and you could see it slightly through the grill

before:



after:



i then got round to mounting my plate to its original spot using magnets so i can take it off when i wish (yes i know its not quite straight, its been altered  :grin: )





gave her a clean that day too



then sent her off for an internal clean! terra clean!
