Jamie's Black 5 Door GTi *Sold* Now driving an S3

Thanks for the replies guys. To answer a few questions:

I swapped the black badge for the standard one so no longer have it sorry.
The smooth front grill was sourced on Ebay for around £35
The front plate is still sat on my dashboard as I am still unsure what to do with it 

Just had to order a new tyre as the side wall was sliced right open by a raised drain on my travels yesterday! Ruining my street cred rolling round on the space saver!

I'm in the same boat with the number plate. Let me know what you do as I'm not sure if I should use magnets or suction cups!

great progress man

smooth front is always better suction cups always work well

Thought Id pop a quick update up seeing as Darth has flown through his mot today 

No real changes since the Edition 30 rear bumper. I am off to Bugjam next Sunday so will see if there is anything to tempt me.
Only 80 days until my Florida holiday now. Once I am back I will get the cambelt and follower changed and then set about a stage 1 map I think.

Cant put an update up without a photo so heres a quick one from last nights pre-inspection wash.

There is your answer What I done was attached really strong magents to the back of my lower honey comb grill, and two sticking out on the back  of my plate, so it sits flush with the grill and is easily removable

Lovely motor can't beat a nice clean black car! (I may be a little bias lol)

Had a little splurge for the interior last night and ordered the following...

Cherry Hazard Switch
Chrome Tipped Window Switches
Chrome Tipped Mirror Switch
Chrome Tipped Light Switch
New Drivers door pull/console unit

I will take some photo's once everything has been fitted.

A word of warning, I went a bit overkill with the adhesive I used to attach the magnets to the back of my grill. It melted right through the grill, causing raised bubbled plastic on the front

Mate just a quick question. The switches that you bought ..where did you pick them up?

Lookin good Jay

[jayha11]

Finally got around to fitting all the interior goodies I picked up before my holiday.

A moment of madness in Florida now finds me engaged and wedding planning.... may hamper some of the immediate mods I had planned! Full service including cambelt, water pump and cam follower booked in next week. Not much planned unless Santa brings me any surprises now.

Here are a few pics of the parts fitted.

Car looks great! Do you have the link to where you bought the front grill from??

Thanks
