ROOF RACK

desmo roof rack








and my favourite to edited on my phone



i cant stop smiling :D:D:D:D:D:D

Looks awesome man :y:

cheers mate im well happy with it

i got these picked up for me today they are 14" golf mk3 steels and they are the same as g60's just an inch smaller. im thinking of gettin them banded another 1" or maybe 2" on the rears but im not paying bandedsteels.com £345 to do it :P ive nee quoted £240 from a guy off ebay who is based in liverpool but im hoping to find a company a bit more local.

anyway the wheels




need to get them balloon tyres off so i can trial fit them

and just a pic for good measure taken earlier today

right guys decided i was going to tint my headlights and thought while I'm at it might aswell put a little guide together.

Tools;
scalpel
old card bank, credit or casino in my case
spary bottle(water and a little washing up liquid)
missus' hairdryer or a heat gun
and rag/towel

not the manliest set of tools ever but hey ho


first cut your film to the general size of the light
next you want to spray the lights and wipe all the dirt of ensuring that the surface is clean.
now for the hard bit take the backing sheet of the film(trust me its a b stard)
give the light a good spray and spray the sticky bit of the film.
place the film onto the headlight.
now using the hairdryer/heat gun use your card to move all the moisture from underneath the film, starting for the middle working your way to the edges.
now it should look like this

no bubbles or creases is how you want it.
now carefully trim your film to the headlight it will fold over the straight edges but will be trickier on the curves but you'll work it out.
so it should now look like this no bubbles or creases and neatly fitted to the headlight



repeat the above for the other side and i would recommend to leave it to dry properly for about an hour before driving.

final results



thanks for looking
Dan

Or go and buy some tint from Lamin-x, if it is that nvm. :p

Looks good! :D

Slam it!
with fat tyres, will be epic imo.

its not lamin x but that would be fitted the same way. i get my tint film of ebay and its about quarter of the price of lamin x

i think some rectangular tinted fogs would complete the front end :) love retro dubs :D :luff:

p.s. Love the roof rack!

Really like it! You gonna find something to put on the roof rack?

I'm a big fan! :y: I think some old school suitcases/ trunks on the rack would suit it :y:

should we all donate stuff to put in the roofrack? :detective:

i like the idea but where would i put them just bolt on to the bumper kind of thing?

as for the roof rack i think a big suitcase would look quite funky. but the only practical use it will get is a tent and some crates of beverages.

good idea on roof rack donations haha

cheers for all the good feedback guys meens a lot

Dan

I really like this. love the little boot spoiler. xD

Definetly an old brown leather suitcase for the roof rack. Should set your tent up on it, don't think it will stay on if your driving though :n:

saxo sold today still liked it, looked and sounded mint when it was being driven away but glad to see the back of it at the same time.

onwards and upwards though. :) plans are as follows
new suspension
trial fit the steels see if they need bandin or not
beaded seat covers for that retro vibe
pressed plates and wolfsburg surrounds


Dan

clean pics from today

Lol at the seat covers! Looks cool mate, when you getting them wheels on?

gunna trial fit them this week contemplating getting the rears banded so will have to wait and see ive been looking at le castellets wheels think they would look mint mirror polished so im in 2 minds.

just orderd some new suspension aswell so will be bining the chopped springs soon.
