Made a few small changes over the last couple of months, slowly feeling that the car is starting to get how I want it now
First mod was a Mk6 Golf chrome head light switch to replace my cracked surround and also match my chrome tipped window switches:
From this:
To this:
Next up was fitting a S3 short shifter which I bought from Skard (cheers dude)
Didn't get any pictures of it before fitting sadly! Definitely a shorter throw over standard!
Another job was to vinyl wrap my B pillars which had some marks on them. GTI B pillar trims are quite expensive so decided to buy some gloss black wrap and have a go myself, thankfully the results didn't turn out too bad:
As I do a lot more motorway journeys now I have an economical car I decided that Cruise Control would be a great mod, after some research from my Turkish beach on holiday I was able to identify that my car would have the correct wiring present, allowing me to simply buy the correct stalk and snap it straight in! I was able to source a second hand Cruise Control stalk off ebay for £24 delivered and once I got back from Turkey I was able to install the stalk and use my mates VAG COM to enable it
Stripping down:
Job took just over an hour in total - all in all, a great mod for £24!
Next job was to paint the red strip on my front grille blue to match my brake calipers. Picked up some Plasti Dip off ebay, once it arrived I stripped down the grille and painted the strip.
From this:
Drying:
Fitted (excuse the dirty car!):
As you can see, it matches pretty well with my calipers:
Ordered some new genuine GTI side skirts today, hoping that they'll be ready for collection tomorrow so I can fit them over the weekend! Looking forward to getting them fitted as every time I look at my car it's crying out for some skirts to fill the middle out a bit more! Will hopefully have an update for you all over the weekend!
