got my wheels refurbed last week. really good finish, not as dark as i would have liked though on the colour change =( will post pics in a few days after iv given it a good clean and painted the front vents.
had a chance to clay bar my car the other day. was very suprised at the result. its not perfect but its the cleanest it probably has been since i got it.
new wheel colour. as i said before. im happy with the finish but think the colour could do to be a bit darker =S
will paint my front grilles gloss black when i have the chance =) hope you all like

I think the wheels look fantastic in that colour. Are you going to tint your rear lights or anything? Some lovely touches on your car, like the black mirrors too!
i just think a few shades darker would have been nice. look better when theyre dirty lol i have some fly eyes tint film which i tried the other week but the curved side lights are a real pain to do without creasing the film =S might give it another go this week. gunna get my HIDs fitted soon too as i have wanted some on for ages. also want my door strips colour coding and have a cupra spoiler to fit on which also needs painting =S !!! cupra mirror caps easy to find =). gunna remove the front grills and spray them gloss black this week hopefully.
thanks for the kind words =)
Keep us posted on the grills if you paint them please 
I was looking at the light tint spray stuff for the rear lights but am a bit unsure what to do. I have enough trouble using that fly eye stuff on easy bits to get it right lol

just ordered some rear light tint rather than fly eyes coz i think it should be a bit easier to apply. will get some pics when its done
Finally got around to doing some fly eyes =) the curved side ones are still proving tricky to stay stuck down round the edges though. will have another go at some point. altough you cant really tell, i also have got pressed plates too. look fab.
got it booked in for a egr delete next week and got some osram chrome indicator bulbs for the front and blue side lights before HID!!!!!

had my car in for this last week =) darkside egr delete
They said that the inlet manifold was seriously blocked up. And that was after only 62000 miles. So i had it all cleaned up, and a egr delete fitted whilst retaining the ASV for a ice smooth shut off too. Only had it on for a few days but it definately is alot less hesitant low down in the rev range and seems to pull better. plus a definate 10%+ rise in mpg. winner
Then also had some new bulbs fitted whilst it was there, and finally got some headlight caps to stop that condensation and allow me to put my HID on. Little comparison for you
Standard indicator bulbs with phillips bluevision sidelights
Osram diadem chrome indicator bulbs with osram cool blue intense side lights
Really like the indicators but definitely aren't convinced with the sidelights. They aren't as bright as the Phillips ones and certainly aren't bright white/blue like i wanted. gunna have to go down the LED route i think.

I've got the Osram 6000k LED sidelights in mines and they're extremely bright.
Expensive, but worth it i think.

I like what youve done with all the carbon bits
cheers. its something a bit different and it looks like the real mccoy. expensive but worth it.
I think it's not badly priced tbh mate,
We do all sorts from guns/paintball guns helmets car bits and other stuff like play station controllers/xbox controllers and some of the stuff can be pricey but overall dipping gives a damn good result for not a lot of money
Remember it has to be prepped sprayed dipped washed lacquered polished quite labour intensive rly,
All looks goods though

Where did u get your tt pedal covers from and do they fit well
Got them on ebay. just search for audi tt pedals and theres plenty. just make sure you get ones with the rectangular accelerator like this.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RHD-Audi-...ts=Car+Make:Audi|Model:TT&hash=item338807811e
the clutch and brake pedals are a simple swap with the old rubber ones. simply pull the old ones off and the others have a small clip on the back and hold solid. The accelerator pedal is like a cover which goes over your existing pedal and has like a rubber bit that sorta wraps over the edge of it. I bent mine ever so slightly to get it to fit spot on and it hasnt come off many times. bit of double sided tape would work a treat tbh.
maybe try german ebay as they might be cheaper.
