You cant wrap them, doesnt take to the nippled effect of the plastic.
Get it off, sand the nipples out, high build primer and paint in gloss black and it'll look sweet

I'm in love with it, only a 2.0TDi but its quite nippy, really good on fuel.
Hopefully getting insured on the 3.0Tdi soon
which is soon to be 370Bhp!

I love driving cars a lot quicker than mine.. But then hate getting back in my car... One of the main reasons I'll be getting rid soon tbh..
3.0TDI Quattro's are rapid!!!

Yep i want rid too, i want a diesel. Preferably a GT Sport MK5 Golf, with 170bhp and DSG! 4Motion would be good too for tuning
I did fancy going for a A3 2.0TDI 170BHP Quattro with DSG.. But swiftly decided against it when a mate of mine smashed a 2.0tdi a3 140 in his dads 100bhp 5door fiesta.. Piss poor..
So I think im going to go for a 8L A3 1.8T quattro

Not updated this in a while!
Not been doing much with it to be honest, just cleaning bits mostly!
Steering was feeling poop recently so me and a local seat friend got the wheels off, tightened everything up and got some WD40 on the coilovers and top mounts.
Got my rear spacers off, they hadn't been off for a year! Got them all tidied up and greased the bolts to stop them seizing or shearing in the hub!
Eventually got my rub strips back on too.
Cleaned up my engine bay too as it was getting a bit grubby!
I also drilled my airbox about 2 weeks ago, sounded good but the intake temperatures were shocking, they were making my already slow car, even slower! So off that came, and the induction kit with a cold air feed came back on, much better intake temps already!
Also been taking every single sticker off too. Completely bored of them now, even forum stickers
Future plans:
-Replace top mounts
- Full paint correction detail - I want rid of all the swirls marks!
- Upgrade to some decent coilovers - I'm hating my cheapos at the moment! I need something decent in my life. Preferably some Weitec Hicon GT's. Been for a drive in them and loved them!
- New tyres
- Wheel refurb in a slightly darker silver
- Euro passenger light
- 3 brake light mod
Quite an expensive list the way i see it! But should be a much better car (IMO) than it is currently!
A few photos that i've had a little play with on PhotoShop
Another few from an impulse mini meet in Leeds!
And a few from the Yorkshire meet last week.
Any comments/criticisms/suggestion are welcome!

You know you have 3 rear lights on each side? side, brake fog and reverse? If you get the euro rear lights,
put a red bulb in it, and a dimmer rear fog then wire a +ve to the reverse and the fog from the sides, then you have 3 side lights on, on each side.
This is what i mean.
Lights that are lit are shown blue. Ignore chavvy bodykit, first pic i could find on google!
Normal with just sides on
Normal braking
Modded rear lights braking
That make sense?

Oh okay I know what you mean. Seems a lot of work! You have to have a red reverse light for this aswell don't you?
Yep, red reverse!
I'm quite interested to see what it will work out like. Need to find a cupra/fr euro rear light which are pretty rare.

Could look cool. I'm looking for the euro light on the other side to give a clear lens on each side. I'll keep an eye out for you
The flying banana got detailed on Monday. Wasn't a paint correction detail as i don't have the products to do one yet. Although the Megs #9 with a lake country light cut polishing pad did remove some of the swirls.
I found out it was way over due!
Dirties:
Clean and beading after rinsing (not so much beading even though the car got another coat of wax at the end of April)
Nice and clean

I dont like applying wax to a car that hasn't been polished and sealed! Plus FK1000p is usually hard wearing stuff! The paint has been getting a lot of stick recently though!
You have your trim back on then for Inters Jordan??
