Hi, been a member for a while as i find the forum very useful but never introduced myself/car! So here goes, i bought the GTI back in december last year and has been a simply amazing car every since, not a single hiccup! Heres a couple of pics from when i bought it to how it stands now...

Day of purchase(sorry for rubbish photo):

Agree, white rims look tasty on a black car. Is it a mission to keep clean?

Yeah, black and white are the two worst colours to keep clean lol give it a wash twice a week to keep it looking tip top tho! :happy2:

Yes, if you're referring to the lower portion of the bumper then i had the whole section sprayed as being black worked fine, with red i'd suggest only adding colour to the arch of the bottom section like the r32 bumper does! Seen it on a couple of different colours and looks good! :smiley:

Ordered some pre cut Lamin-x from the American site! Saves all the measuring and cutting to size!

They're off a Mercedes E class, think the actual name for them is Mercedes Ankaa.
