Have you bought a new R32 rear bumper aswell matsu so your carbon delight will fit? Coming on nicely, except those rear clusters fella :chicken:

i went up to skelmersdale and being the numpty cheapskate i am i took an ebay molded r32 bumper with me.....ooops wrong!
i give amazing credit to nigel leeming and dave pike esp at blueflame...nigel spent an hour and half on a drive trying to source me a correct bumper but to no avail..... so two weeks later i returned with the right stuff....

oh and once the lm's are off they are being repolished and the centres either colour coded or that crackle glaze in black!
So again, thanks for the help in spending my money you lot!

matsu
-
pardon me for being dim, but what lip do you and RR have on to be able to change the centre parts??? :confused:
(sorry for not doing a search first) :ashamed:
-
its an osir front spoiler mate-check out RR's thread and his foglight one too- he is rather good at reveiwing stuFF!
it comes with the two outer peices and then you can buy two different centre "splitters" ive had both mine water transferred with carbon effect- RR has the genuine carbon articles.
try here....

^^^^^ Not a problem fella, always glad to help! :happy2:

Matsu the car looks great :congrats:
Where did you get the LM'S from? I fancy a set for mine i take it yours are the 19's
-
Cracking work mate :happy2:
cars looking spot on :congrats:
-
hi mate
i got the lm reps off guy on here robkn i believe.
yeah they are 19s. but in hindsight ,that wonderful thing i would have gone with 18s so i can get a better size tyre cos altho i oouve the stretched look, its a pain keeping my eye out for potholes etc and i dont feel i can reaaly chuck it around like i did with the 17 monzas to be honest!
18s will be on soon as i can afford some rubber!
matsu
-
Looks awesome Matsu! Sooooo glad you got rid of those rear lights :happy2:
-
Looks loads better now...still prefer the OEM front splitter though...never been a big fan of aftermarket body work.
-
Looking good mate now the skirts are on, and the body coloured look works well! Hows the Zorst bedding in? Still sounding as good?
-
yeah its quieter than i thought it would be but that suits me ,my age and my driving.
i,m thinking i dont need the downpipe if that makes it too loud!
but thansk for the comments.
matsu

yeah its quieter than i thought it would be but that suits me, my age and my driving.

That car has really come on well Matsu. Hats off to you for the transformation :pomppomp:

The L.E.D rear light's look great with the black paint. Are they from that ''bigger golf'' plus i think they call it ?. I saw one in the car prk the other day & they looked the same.

The golf plus lights are a different size, these are specific for the MK5 the UK dealers just decided they didnt want them, so they are OEM European and US. Which means you need to switch the fog and reverse light over to make them UK spec.

thanks hurdy-means alot from you! :notworthy:
and yeh the LEDs are german from an ebay seller recommended on here.
thanks all

as title above says.... finally been able to put aside some funds to add a few new mods.
first the wheels and tyres...
rs4 reps and kumho ecsta thingys that i got for good price off illyun..
the ride is sooo much better on 18s and the fact these fit and arent stretched like the lm 19s.
they will be refurbed and either sold on on a big colour change and kept for sunday best lol. :evilgrin:
..to follow, a service with a replacement DV... eichback arbs and inner arm bushes with anti lift..... and if i can wangle it... new front brakes or an intake upgrade....(gotta save or find a bargain :ashamed:
so after a 2 1/2 hour wash and wax.........

i,m quite pleased with the end result. i sprayed these using a bmw grahite colour,lots of clear laquer and autoperfection wheel sealeant.the water just runs off so hopefully easier to keep clean lol.

Looking good fella! :congrats:
Got any shots further away that get the whole car in?
-
+1 love the reflections.
-
Lookin awesome,love the carbon fibre :happy2:
Where did you get your cf front and rear badges from??
-
thanks gang.
i need to spend a bit of time with the GF's new camera and get some decent pics,poss this wkend.
the carbon badges are water transfered and laquered bypaul at pmg motors in billericay essex.
pm me for his details if you need anything done. his paintwork has been really good. would def recommend to anyone is essex.he is going to do the next few bits for me in the next fortnight.
thanks again... i owe a lot of credit to a few guys on here who just love spending my money :jumping:
matsu
-
looking good :happy2:
-
WOW! That looks brilliant pal :drool: :drool: :drool:
-
:drool:
love it mate :congrats:
where did you get the carbon lower on the r32 bumper ?
-
thank you.
its a std lower diffuser section that has been water transfered with carbon print and then laquered so its as tough as the rest of the paintwork,
i,m glad i have had some thumbs up.
she certainly turns heads, although i wonder if dk wheels will diminish that impact.
i,m contemplating gloss black tho, greeners car always looks that extra bit spesh and i think its the wheels that give it the killer edge.

:congrats:
RS4 reps look so much better IMO.
Love the back-end!
Keep up the good work :happy2:
-
Looks great buddy, glad you got the side skirts and wheels sorted, looks really together rather than a collection of bits. :congrats:

^^^^
Looking good, matsu :happy2:
Did you dremmel/cut the aperture backs where your foglight units fit?
-
Well done mate! Looks lovely!
Bloody hell, i remember when we were both talking to each other before we bought our Golfs, and we were both struggling to raise the extra cash to buy the ones we wanted! Lol
You've come a long way since! Bravo!
-
lol at ifti- so true mate. i cant believe how much money ive spent and dont tell SWMBO for gawds sake!
RR- do you mean the carbon covers? if so-no work done they are just mastic held. so i can access the lights if need be or a change is called for.
bad news this morning.... (big rant in my head :fighting: :sad1:), but bloody tenant in my house just give me notice so thats the modding money up the tubes for a while. so no more work can be done on her for a while. but ill get some more pics up as and when i can.
matsu

Looks good mate. The stealth look is the way forward. Looks very mean!
The more i see the LED rear lights on black gti's the more I am looking forward to getting a set!
-
he also got my front and rear badge and the rear exhaust vlence water transfered in carbon and the laquered
Sorry if this is a stupid Q, but can someone tell me what this means?

There is a process whereby you can transfer a carbon effect print onto whatever you want by "water transfer" process. The item you want the print on is dipped into water which is already impregnated with the carbon effect transfer, when the item is dipped the transfer sticks to the item and then you can laquer it to seal it onto the item. :happy2:

Crikey! That quick!! Nice one, Al :drinking:
How about applying that to my Monza 17's :evilgrin:
Here's another example of the finished process:

BUT.... :party: i have the uprated internals for the fuel pump. i need to save for the intercooler and stage2+ software so be prepared for me to bug the hell out of you as i research all that jazz :evilgrin:
then.....long term plans ... alphards and coils.

this was done by shamster off edition38 he is based around the langley area just 8mins from the m4.

Ditch the chrome strip it looks poo the rest looks great
-
Agree with Matt about the chrome, but other than that! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Fair play geeza, you've taken your time and knew what you wanted and got out there and done it!! :congrats:
-
Liking the new front end, I think that is the only grille that suits the de-badged front end :happy2:
-
Im lovin the new look, I remember seeing one similar to that in the colours thread and even considered it myself! :congrats:
-
Agreed mate. As far as a dabadged grille goes then yours and the r32 ones are the only ones that work.
Looking forward to seeing it all come together with the wheels and lows sorted too.
-
Looks really nice now mate,
Only thing I'm tempted to say is matt black the chrome surround on the bottom grill
-
ooh love it Matsu need more pics
-
Seen that look over on the US sites and thought it looked great, nice job :happy2:
-
thanks guys
i was thinking of all black but i sorta like the little "smile" the chrome gives lol
but my original plan was/is to black the whole thing.
i have a few more plans so i hope in august to put out some really nice photos with some added touches!
matsu
-
Much liking the new look and rims. :happy2:
Loving the R32 rear still..... :notworthy:
-
how do you find the neuspeed intake? Was looking at them on the internet earlier, seem to come up a good £100 cheaper than the ITG. What noise does it give off? chatter like the ITG?
-
hi mate
not hear the itg to b honest. the p flo is noisy as in darth vader breathing.and def made the car feel more eager-esp now rmapped to stg2 :evilgrin:
downside for me-pain in ars heat shield to fit, and no air filter box to help direct the air to t :evilgrin:e cone from fron of car-have considered the extension pipe that takes cone to the back of fog light area-think its another 150 notes.
hope that helps........should have gone twintake lol but i still quite like look of the boy racer thing wen i open the bonnet....the twintake is very classy and sophisticated in comparrison, and i will eventually get one lol.
