Thanks people! Really starting to get some future plans together! I've never attended a car show before! So I may have to check it out!


Thats looking really nice dude.

Get the front lights disassembled and sprayed black like adam's

Thanks man. I'm going to get the boc lights after my exhaust has been fitted.

Cheers mate! Makes me feel soo good out of the time, effort as money this thing takes! I am contemplating on the lights, not sure how dark to go. Same as windows. Possibly the next 1 or 2 down from limo black.


Random question, what do you guys think of storm wipers?
 
Personally never heard of them! lol

As for the shows part, I had never been to one since last year. Was awesome, stupidly hot though!
But you should come this year, I'm sure you could meet someone else down your way then we meet at a services just before the last junction of Leicester for GTi Inters.

Oh cool thanks! I'll definitely check it out!

Storm wipers are a single wiper mechanism. 1 wiper does a full sweep of the whole windscreen.

Just had another go at the the door card off. Not much luck again. I unclamped the glass but could not get the glass to come free from the clamps. I can get half of the door card to lift up, but nothing else moves. I've given up for now. I might ask a SEAT garage. But I doubt they will be helpful to me..
 
Ah right, got what you mean about the wipers!

Yeah they'd probably want you to go to them and pay for them to take them off.
 
The holes will be filled with blanking grommets. It was just an idea to be different. but upon further inspection, they don't even offer a kit for the 6J.

I took my tail pipes to the coaters today. Only to be told that they cannot do any thing with it because they have been chromed. So now I've got to take them to a sandblasters before hand. On the plus side I have been told in total including the blasting and coating will be a mere £30-40.

As soon as they have been done Ill need to book a day off work to take the car up to Bury st. Edmunds!
 
I'm taking my tailpipes to the sandblasters this evening! With any luck I should have them blasted and coated by the weekend! Which is a shame considering the exhaust shop is not open! I could try Ipswich but I have already been given a quote.

I live near there, where u coming from?
 
Just got a reply from them and will cost at bit more than u said because I want them in a certain colour. Was quoted £55 per wheel which is still good :) and I'm happy to pay that
 
Cool. He will look after you! I took my wheels to him with not tyres, I came back 2 weeks later (I coouldnt get in any earlier) with some tyres. He said he was going charge me which was fine. when the work was done he didn't want any thing. I gave him some extra for being helpful and a good guy!

He knows his stuff and hes always busy! Tell him Lewis sent you. (the guy who came in the the Audi TT wheels and wanted them matt black). When I returned he said he had loads of people commenting on how nice they were, and they weren't even on the my car haha!.

Im really considering the tinting now. I will go for a dark smoke on the windows, and Im thinking a subtle tint on the rear lights. Im not sure if I want to go as dark as yours.
