Black vinyl roof

Future Plans
DPF Delete and remap
Peformance air filter (suggestions on which one?)

Little update about the car.
Yesterday i had the wheels sprayed pearlescent black, looks really cool, better than just gloss and it sparkles in the sun :)

I've also got my wing mirrors sprayed gloss black, they look really cool, really set off the look of the car nicely, all black and white now, no grey :D

Absolute pain in the arse to fit though as i couldn’t get the original covers off, and my old man managed to crack one of the mirrors trying :(

Not a happy bunny!

That’s all I’m doing to the car for the time being, got a stubby aerial on the way, then it will be bye bye DPF :D

Little update, have the DPF taken off last month, must say its awesome now :)
Also swapped the EGR gasket today to see if it improves the slight stuttering issue

Silver wheels are boring, nearly every car you see has silver wheels. I'm going for the whole black and white theme with the car, getting rid of any chrome aswell, getting the grill surround sprayed this week. Just not sure what to do about the badges, maybe vinyl then i can always put them back to standard.

In your case that's not reproach, because black\white contrast looks perfect and chrome parts just spoil the complete look)
but as I see on our roads... it was a trend .. ~ 2-3 years ago all more\less hot cars tried to blacken the wheels, it was funny to see that other poor cars (like daewoo matiz or taxi kia cerato) did that too, black palastic wheel caps look coool also:D

ps I had to choose white or orange FR, as orange is completely uniqe on our roads I prefered it, but white is one of the best!

Looks awsome bud did you just get the mirror covers from seat the alloy ones and have them sprayed?
Is it better to spry or powder coat wheels?
