Got my OSIR spoiler back from the panel shop. Greg at Baileys smash repair did a fantastic job. THe spoiler was initially CF and yes, it's a shame that the CF had to be painted but the CF didn't go with the look of the car IMO. Ideally I would have preferred the fibreglass option as I was already going to paint it. First world problems....
Anyway, it looks great. All I need to do now is to attach it
Pics of what it looked like before
Pic now
did a trial fit today. Looks 10x better than when it was CF
Also got Greg to paint my OSIR dual gauge holder, which was also in CF, in gloss black. It didn't make sense to leave that in CF (again, yes its a shame CF was painted over) because it didnt go with the rest of my gloss black interior bits
it will be matching the rest of the trim now
Greg also removed the Audi rings and the TFSI lettering on my TT-S engine cover. Again, fantastic job all round!
Here's what it looked like before. Initially, I had the whole thing painted black, rings and letter included
then I decided to DIY and get the rings and letters to stand out in white
now it's been filled with bog, smoothed and sanded back and repainted gloss black. Probably be looking at putting either the "R" logo, VWR logo or just keep it clean with nothing on it
Just some cosmetic enhancement updates for now...
Next major mods which I am looking at
- BBK's (most likely 6 pot brembos with slotted rotors, 355x32...depends if they clear my wheels though)
- Wheels (SSR Professor SP1 19" Black face, polished lip, bolts either in gold or coated in gloss candy white)
- Guards rolled and flared to accomodate
- DSG Tune (either GIAC or HGP/HPA)
- Haldex Gen 4 Controller
- CF rear valence (OSIR) and CF front lip (Garage Vary)
- Possibly changing to the Forge catch can instead...not 100% on this one yet (my current 42DD will be up for sale if it goes ahead)
Apart from that, quite happy with where the car is at the moment...maybe just some minor details here and there which needs to be tended to but overall I'm happy so far with its progress.
