keep up the good work!

Cheers Dave. Got my footwell lights to go in too so just need to get some more wire and scotch locks and they'll be in, what you think to doing a guide? Will it benefit people as it only costs about £9 to do both sides!

love the new car i bought myself an FR tdi and they are geat fair step up from the 1.2 ibiza i learnt to drive in love the mosa as well

 

[phillpotts92]

Mosa? Did you mean to say mods lol. If you did thanks mate lol

Just so you know, rather than using scotch locks for footwell lights, I drilled two holes in the interior light board thing and then soldered into them.. Think it will be a bit more secure than scotch locks! I'll try get a pic at some point if you like?

[phillpotts92]

Yea you could do and I'll put it in the guide but I'm not into drilling the board and soldering, rather do something you can't mess up lol. I can solder just hate drilling PCB's!


Sam.

 

[benny12357]

It is actually solid metal that i drilled through on mine the standard ibiza one that is.. how much work is envolved in the passat light?

Loved the of your other Ibiza and this is shaping up nicely mate, can't wait to start doing stuff to my Cupra, mainly visual mods then move onto power gains

I've got the golf light but I think they're the same anyway. Mine was just a straight swap no wiring or anything needed.

Yea that's what I'm doing for now as the power is ok for me at the mo I just want it to look as good as my old one. Had a bit of a sulk yesterday thinking about my old car but then I thought to myself this one can look the same if I try lol thanks mate.

Looks smart mate! Good choice in wheels

Mine sold within 3 days of putting the advert up on Pistonheads, miss it already but got myself a cheap 172 cup as a runabout for the summer!

If the TT seats go in will you be selling current interior? If so how much as I know someone who may be interested?

Ed!

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea I'm missing my old car too lmao. The seats will be being kept sorry mate, ready to go back in when sold

 

[phillpotts92]

Hmmmm I wonder what these will be used for.....

Think I shall use them for doing this:

I also washed it today as well:

And modified the grill

(cut the slats out from behind and the top and painted)

I really like the white but I do want opinions please


Sam.

 

[BeezaDave]

Grill surround looks good, is it the same colour as the wing mirror covers?

 

[phillpotts92]

No it's radiator paint lol so it's bright white lmao. I was only using it to prime it and ended up liking it lol


Sam.

 

[Lambro6]

IMHO, the white sticks out like a sore thumb. :/
As always, loving the car though.

 

[phillpotts92]

I see what you mean lambro. I cant think of a decent colour to paint it, no point going red as the cars red and no point going black cause that will look standard lol.


Sam.

 

[phillpotts92]

Oh also thanks


Sam.

 

[Lambro6]

I can definitely see where you're coming from mate.

It's actually growing on me the more I look at it, haha.
Have you considered doing other stuff white?
I just did a quick photoshop, and I think the grey behind the number plate, and the bottom lip of the bumper (the part everyone vinyls black), and painted them white, actually make it all match, and I think it looks good.
