Looking nice mark. Get those blue caps done in the orange too!

Are you keeping your red gti badge on the front or going back to silver?

A brave colour but I have to say, absolutely stunning re trim. The more I examine the photos the more I realise how good it is. Little things like the GTI logos embossed into the headrests, and even the grap handle for the rear seat arm rest has been double stiched, just like factory.

I think you can be pretty sure you are driving one of a kind, and I'm really starting to warm to the MK6 steering wheel, having recently seen Darrens' in the flesh (steering wheel that is  :ashamed:)

Have to agree with a couple of others on here though, the best exterior look was with the 19" CCH''s. Looked absolutely superb then.

Damn, Very nice leather!!  :drool:
The CH's are nice, but I think 3-piece wheels with an orange center would be stunning! :evilgrin:

How easy is it to get the engine cover colour coded? I like the look of that a lot.
Oh, and the rest of the car, very tidy.

Cheers guys.

Yea i'll run with the badge on the grille, it has pretty much faded to orange.

May be selling the car today, after paying for my leather trimmed parcel shelf  :rolleye:

The silver part can come off, but we left it on.

Basically sand the texture down, plastic primer, high build primer, colour, clear :)
