Cars looking good, makes me want to run mine without a front plate! Sucks about the top monts, you sure some uprated ones wouldn't work?

My boyfriend has managed to pikey me up some top mounts using some mk3 golf coilovers until we manage to get some Pedders ones over from australia! :confused:

Nice! really like this.

What have you done with your numberplate? Like the idea of a smoothed grill. Also, how did you get the rear lights tinted? What do you plan on doing to get the grill restored? Have you heard about using a hairdryer/heatgun?

Thanks man! I'm a badass (idiot) and run my plate in my window haha! May purchase a square plate and make a holder so I can run it on one of my fog grills..  :ashamed:

The rear lights came tinted as standard - they do on the ED30s and R32s  :grin:

I had a quick look through the detailing section and I don't think I'll go down the heat route - probably just buy a good g technix product and see what it can do!  :smiley:

Cars looking great  :happy2:

Just buy a new bottom grille, I recently replaced all mine and bought one on eBay for like £20 delivered and it fits perfect, it's such a PITA shape wise you'll really struggle to get It looking new again.

Thank ya! This is probs a far better idea lol, the open fog grills as well as the top gti grill are both new so replacing the bottom one too seems a good shout. I'm just stingy with money  :confused:

Found the eBay number 180931936425
£14.22 delivered and took about a week for mine to arrive. You can easily spend that much on a bottle of product and it won't look as good  :happy2:

You not thought about doing the magnetic front plate modification? I did it on my smoothed grill (when I ran one) and I had no problems at all with it. Meant when I parked up I can take the plate off and when driving put it on so the law is happy. Win-win situation.
