Bought from and fitted by my local VW Specialist here in Lincoln
MK5 ED 30:
nice mate, again looks great for age an price :surprised:
StuF:
Today got the Xenons re-levelled after installing the Eibach's - they were too low and I couldnt adjust them without VCDS!
All work carried out gratis thanks to Lincs VW Specialists! :happy2:
My Stainless Steel Tipped switches arrived today too so they have been installed - was an easy job although I did manage to destroy all the standard switches removing them :ashamed:
Job for tomorrow is to remove the wheels and spray them up with PlastiDip Matte Black Paint! More pics to follow tomorrow :happy2:
Scottymon:
Some nice mods there.
I'm amazed with the plastidip (not sure if you've used it before)... did mine about 18 months ago and the rear two have had new tyres fitted and the plastidip is still on and pretty much perfect. I kerbed the other two, so need to touch them up.
My process was to get the wheels super clean (Brake cleaner spray is good), dried and finished... I used a fine first coat, and then just kept loading it up once each layer was dry it's really easy to use... I used about a can a wheel.
My advice would be to get the cans warm in this weather... I placed mine in a tub of warmish (but not boiling) water and the spray mist is far, far better... when they're cold they spit.
Dark wheels on a white car is one of my favs... there's a glossifier now too, but I haven't used it.
StuF:
Cheers @Scottymon that is exactly my plan - have 4 tins (1 per wheel) and a heater in the garage to keep things civilized.
Going to attempt to do 2 wheels at a time so jacking the car up is easier!
Cans will be sat in a lovely hot bath of water to prevent them spitting - actually really looking forward to getting them done!
Weather was too grim today to attempt it!
Will take loads of pics tomorrow :happy2:
