Cant wait for 2moro now fella :panic: counting down the hours until i finish work and can ditch the steelies to fit these :A:

RedB 2nd August 2007 16:20

1 hour until i leave to i go to collect and fit these bad boys :A:

RedB 3rd August 2007 09:04

Got them on last night and look gorgeous, im well pleased with the overall finish and how smooth they are
Also sprayed the wheel nuts black to contrast the alloys which work really well

I decided last night while they were being fitted that i wont paint the lettering on as that would ruin the
look of the and im going with a set of compomotive sport black stickers that will be much nicer and more subtle

Thanks again to Sam 'Silver_Saxo' and Trev at Owlsbury Coachworks;)

Pics up tonight as i didnt get a chance last night

saunders 3rd August 2007 10:41

Decided that im going to have a session working on her tonight again
the plan so far is to get my subs working again and fix the setup

Tommorow im going to paint my calipers and apply some lush white vinyls on them
and install my new front components and DVD player ;)

RedB 3rd August 2007 11:53

Next week and il be re-trimming the doorcards and possibly seats
before she goes into the bodyshop to get a few dents and chips removed and sprayed

After this all the serious performance parts will be bought and fitted

Karl 3rd August 2007 11:55

cheers matey, tbh i wasnt sure when i first got her 3 months ago but i think the colours grown on me as she looks good at night like quite sleek and sexy and the reflection and paint effect is amazing when the sun hits her ;)

£500 roughly spent on repairs over the last 3 months:

Alternator
Link Rod
New bushes
New tyres
Wheel bearing
GTI leather
Interior
New skirt prepper, painted and fitted
Exhaust re-furbished and welded
Services
Alloys refurbed and sprayed gloss white ;)

The list goes on :p not bad so far i reckon but got lots of little things to come
in the next few weeks to get her ready and add to the progress
