I don't like it. I always thought about doing it but it really doesn't look right on our colour like the rs4 reps though.

 

[Chris_a_73]

I'd agree tbh, with the roof vinyl.

On your colour, I think perhaps less is more. I reckon the bumper vinyl, on the front lip and number plate surround, looks good though. Perhaps colour coded mirror caps?

Yea thats what I want to do. Lov the colour coded mirror caps though.

Maybe a carbon roof?

Ah ha cheers for that, and I love the front bumper all in black and by the sounds of it, its only me who likes it. I like it but then again if I get it done it can be removed..

Love how you put fog lights on my bumper for me too shame I can't find those alloys in 17's

 

[Chris_a_73]

Really?

no tyres otherwise i would....been paid today havent got as much as i thought so going to get some different alloys

 

[Chris_a_73]

If you don't have enough for the alloys you want, just wait. No point getting cheaper alloys for the sake of it, and not being really happy with them. Wait another 25-30 days and you can have the alloys you really want

What alloys were you thinking? And whats the total budget, including tyres?

about £500 including tyres (and possibly delivery), i have looked at some Dezent Motion 2 17" alloys from raceandroad.com which are about £485 inc tyres and delivery.

basically they have to 17", with tyres & suit my car

 

[Chris_a_73]

Hey the Motion 2's are pretty nice. Just make sure to get some recent rubber on them..cheapo tyres are easy on your wallet, but not so good when you end up rear ending some one or understeering into a curb from crappy grip....

I've got Yokohama Parada Spec 2's, got them for £70/tyre at an indy garage and they have awesome dry grip. Wet grip isn't too special, only when you boot it, but i've never skidded anywhere.

tyres - Nankangs NS2? & glad you like them cant wait to get them on the bezza, then thinking about rear tints...not limo though.

& polo rear wiper too

 

[marksy93]

Right massively confused....left rear putter brake light blew yesterday so replaced it with a bulb from hellfrauds, after lots of swearing etc it worked - however now when I put the brakes in the front left side light turns on...bit confused :s any ideas on what's ****ed?? But if I take the keys out then press the brake (with no side lights on) the warning noise for the light comes on..(when the door is open).

- confused :/ thanks

 

[Chris_a_73]

Did you have your indicator pressed down? I was sitting in my car a few months ago, wondering why one light was on, and buzzer going even when my sidelights were turned off.

After 10 minutes of thinking, sh*t what have I done to my car, I realised I was just being a prat and had knocked the indicator by accient

I personally don't really like tints... They are slightly tinted at the factory anyway, and I think the car loses a bit of class when it has a large contrast between the front and back windows... Almost makes the car look like a van!

If I were you, I'd keep the mods subtle, and get colour coded wing mirrors, 'plasti-dip' vinyl the front lip and number plate surround and get the alloys sorted. Done and dusted, and the first 2 mods are cheap as chips (£10-20).

Check this link for plast-dip. It's a spray on material, however when dried it can be removed like a vinyl in one piece. Search youtube and there are plenty of videos of it being applied/removed.

Cheers for that, the left side light comes on when I put my foot on the brake...whether the lights are on or not and whether the engine is on or not :/

+ driving to Cornwall today (not taking the bezza so I can save petrol & milage)

 

[Chris_a_73]

Found the answer.

The Halfrauds bulb is rubbish, get a new (double filament) bulb.

 

[marksy93]

I swear I bought a double filament bulb though??

 

[Chris_a_73]

No idea dude, just googled it tbh. If you say you had ages messing around trying to make it work, then surely the bulb's not right?

How's the alloy hunt going, did you get some in the end?
