Agreed, I risk it for a biscuit, then pray I can talk my way out playing the blonde 'I had no idea' card if it comes to it.worth it though
Where did you get the tint for the fog lights?
ebay seller vtcust0ms
They are not the cheapest but the film is thick non fading, and resistant to stone chips and weather. I would not go for the cheapers ones which will look chipped and nasty very quickly, especially coloured ones.
Before:
I then lowered the front some more and enjoy the daily scrape on and off the drive
Serious FML moment leaving a multistorey carpark, curbed my wheel a gooden!
went to merge after paying and didnt see the huge cement separator hadnt actually ended.
Never one to disappoint or do things in halves...
So spent my sunday refurbing my wheel boooo
Painful before shot, then sanded with 80 grit paper :S
Looked instantly better after sanding with a harsh grade.
First pass of the filler
Second pass of the filler and some sanding
Really happy with it so far, not the actual curbing, hopefully be close to original finish just to get me through the winter.
Then had a subtly tint on the tails:
They was so bright and was aiming for a cherry red colour like the gti/gtd mk7s.
Before:
(I dont actually have that much arch gap that side at the rear, super wonky drive lol)
After:
So subtle you wouldn't know unless I told you but I love the difference, looks so mean at night with the LED's all lit
speechless!
That's a class motor. Alot of love has gone into that.
Hi Manda,
I really like what you did to the rear LED's. I thinking of doing the same to mine. Where did you purchase that colour film from?
Thanks.
How much have you ever spent on this [gorgeous] car, lots I'd like to do, but it all adds up... quite a bit!
looking good, i run tinted plates much nicer imo
What cutting compound were you using to da yours. I had same problem as you had rear of my car Re painted due to lacquer peel only after 2 months to start peeling again
good idea, it shouldnt need a DA if it is fresh ah good to hear, I havent used any other brand tbh, didnt think much of their pads, but combined with the DoDo results was very quick especially for just a little DA.Yeah I agree I haven't DA'd the rear it was the front I was doing. I have found the Maguires is the best to use. Your car looks amazing
got one of the last gen black vue cameras stupidly cheap as the 530 model was replaced with the 600 this year. rrp £250-£289, got the last of stock at £139 so pretty chuffed. Bought the hardwiring power magic pro box used to monitor the power levels and cut off when your battery gets to a certain level.
Favourite part, motion sensor parking mode, I have had all my cars bar 1 hit either when parked on my drive (was fuming!) or parked in car parks or on roads, so to finallly be able to have somehting to catch any future hit and runs makes me feel every penny was worth it.
Fitted in about an hour this weekend, was actually really easy to hard wire and route behind the panels having not done one of these before.
Grounded then just the Live (yellow) to my horn (25 amp fuse), and ignition (red) to my AC (5 amp fuse).
the wires to the left are the excess dash cam wires as there was a nice clear space to put them there
Sadly it was the last one left on Amazon, they are discontinued and replaced by the BlackVue DR650w-2ch which is £280 :sWhere did you snap this bad boy up from? I need to get my hands on one as soon as.
Look extremely tidy you ever down Bournemouth way??
ah thank you I am back to cable ties for my second plate which is spaced differently, but plan to make a new holder out of my old holder that was easy to pop on and off.the front view of you car with just the short plate and rings is stunning
How much did you pay for your oil sucker pump that's a really good idea and saves a lot of time and effort
