Little update today... Thought I better free the car from the salt jacket its had on for a while - So I gave it a quick wash then dried it :) Pictures are before me drying it as it was starting to get dark.

I washed it a section at a time and opened the doors/boot/bonnet after each section to stop it from freezing over [B)]
 
Just noticed that these pictures are the first ones since I raised it a bit for the winter. The fronts could go up more but they are fine where they are :)
 
Mick, quick question, i am going to view a black fr tdi tomorrow and was wondering if the front grilles and rear valance are supposed to be glossy dark grey plastic? The car has red calipers, so was just asking as if it has been tinkered with too much, i will be put off.
 
Sorry mate never seen this. Yeah they should be, exactly like mine are! I'm thinking of painting my calipers red in the summer :)

Little update, Cars booked in next Thursday for timing belt and service... so things are starting to happen again! Bring on more mods! :D
 
Gave the car another quick wash today before it got dark... Also de-Ibiza'd it :) Next will probably be the TDI badges, but my hands were freezing so they will be done another day.

Looks better without the badges mate, I agree with keeping the FR badge. Looks good. :D

Black and yellow theme looks sorry! You get a puncture then?

Thanks mate! :)

Yeah I got a puncture, metal shaving stuck in the middle of the tyre! Got it repaired now though. I'm glad to rid the car of that horrible yellow! 50mph :wtf:

looks good mick, was always going to do this with mine but no point now lol

Thanks again mate! What where you going to do? Black and Yellow theme? :p

Nah I think it looks smart without the badge, you should do it!

the de-badge lol, but i cba now!
 
Haha, when do you get that back then? I washed mine for the return of the punctured wheel, and washed/sealed the wheel before that went back on :p

Tomorrow I will be lowering it again, providing the weather stays good :rolleyes: Not as low as it was previously though! :)

Get it tomorrow morning :) I'm bringing a cloth with me so i can give it a quick wipe down so it does'nt stand out like a sore thumb :lol:

I don't like when people lower their cars too much, looks rediculous in my eyes. Like it when the wheels are about an inch or so from the wheel arch. Hate it when the wheel is inside the wheel arch :ban:

Good news :) That wasnt too bad then, like you said though, I'd still claim off the council!

Well mine was as low as it would go at the back, and about an inch and a half left on the front. I'm thinking I'm just going to drop the back to match the front in the pictures at the top of this page (How its currently sitting). It looks good low, but I can't get in my driveway with passengers with the adjusters out :( :happy:
