OK got the electrics fixed now...sort of; when the interior light comes on, the radio just turns to static... anyway also did this:
got a matching handbrake gaiter as well, might put that on, dunno

Got LED sidelights again and LED interior fitted (pics to come)((see below)) also got LED boot light to fit and also LED number plate lights, get them done soon.
And at some point I'm planning on sorting out something for the head unit similar to what OJ_89 has done >>>

Okay, where did you get that from? Want! Almost as much as I don't want a numberplate recess!

my bad ??? I'm confused...where did I get what from? The LED or the gaiter? Also do you want it or not?? lol
Lol.. Posting fail, obviously. I don't want my numberplate recess. Want to be able to take pictures without a numberplate on the front -.- aaand. I would love to know where you got the gaiter from. was toying with the idea of making a stainless steel guide like you get on old ferrari's, but this would suit my blue seats better...
I see, got it from Ebay... came with a matching handbrake gaiter but for the life of me I cant figure out how to put it on ... anyway it was £27 inc.delivery. I'll find a link... CLICK HERE... I then bought a cupra gear knob off a member on here

Cool
Might... have to copy you there... Anyway! How come haven't you sorted out that radio, hmm?
Feel free and in return I shall copy your HU...eventually...just haven't got round to it yet tbh...Im also a bit scared of making a mess and ruining it and then having to spend £££'s

Dude, if you want, you can have my front panel! not much help I know, but I don't like the ultra smooth look. want some buttons back
Bonnet bra was delivered on saturday, going to fit it soon and take some pics. Below are some extracts from the letter that came with it, I have not changed the words or the case of the letters:
"...Try to fit when outside temperature is warm. DO NO TRY AND FIT STRAIGHT AWAY OUT OF PACKAGING YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED...
Do not put bra on recently painted bonnets...WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR BOB THE PAINTERS SHORT COMINGS...
Slide bonnet bra over end of bonnet...DO NOT WRESTLE IT LIKE A TIGER...
Please remove bra every so often to clean/polish behind the bra...IF NOT CARRIED OUT THEN WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AS INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN TO BE FOLLWED NOT THROWN IN GLOVEBOX..."
The parts in upper case are esp. amusing

BTW car is coming on nicely!
Yeah i thought it funny. There is no way of knowing who did it, its quite a busy area, Im not happy about it though. Cheers dude, Ive not got a lot of money and insurance is far to high atm so Im just doin lots of little bits to make it look better
Join the club.. my Mrs and I have baby No. 3 on the way in august so funds are none existent!!!
Just been tidying mine up ready for a few shows we hope to get to. Tatton being one LOL...
The most annoying part about the key marks is that no matter how clean i make it, its still all scratched up grr. Im looking into respray v's new body panels but unless I can get the car parked off road Im just going to spend £££'s and find it keyed again next morning.
I'd need to replace/respray boot, rear passenger side wing, rear passenger door, front passenger door, front passenger side wing and the bonnet so Im looking at lots of monies

Its probably not the look your going for but you can always DIY spray a half decent matt paint job on your drive... easy to paint again if some bar steward wants to key it again..
Thats an extreme solution but could look pretty sweet
an interesting thought, but maybe a bit too much work requiredSimilar threads
