Comes up lovely when clean! Nice stance too, not sure about the rear plate size? Unless you have a US tailgate on the way.

 :happy2: with the de-chromed front grill
When are you removing the rest of the chrome  :happy2:

Cant wait to see the wheel colour  :wink:

I'm going to try and sort out the chrome with some of that new gunmetal grey plastidip spray. I'm aiming for a American tailgate eventually, along with some of the GLi parts.

I'm having second thoughts about this paint colour!! Hopefully the new wheels will look great in it. Picked a bit of a bright fun colour for a change. No silver or black. Now worried I've not gone for something too much out of the ordinary & it's going to look crap!

Wheels are champions - off a phaeton. I have 5 of them too. They are 7.5x18 et 40. And I'm running 225/40's.

Been trying to think about how to bring the wheel colour in line with another part of the car, so that it ties together. So I was thinking about getting a pair of wing mirror covers and spraying them the same colour as the wheels - like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS?

Quick update from today - led front indicator bulbs fitted. Yellow foglight tint film arrived.
Plus went to see my friend Graydon @ Stainless Steel Creations - back box delete!!




Nice little chirp from the turbo when you back off, plus a whistle under acceleration. Plus cheaper than I had thought!!
