front badge does look good. If you find it chipping though try the already tried and tested vinyl method.

Well finally got round to getting the comps done. They have only been sitting in the shed for the last 5 month

I could not get them polished or diamond cut so just got them done silver, going to use them as winters as I have my eye on something different for the summer. Will get some better pics up tomorrow

Looking good. I think the 10mm spacers would make it look alot better. I'd prefer a slighty lower stance also 8)

Think I might stick the spacers on at the weekend see what they look like. As for going lower it aint an option right now. Some of the road I have to drive down, I am scrubbing the bottom now :shock:

I kinda liked the original vw bade on the front
I could do with mine doing black
I need to debade it aswell.

With what you said about the 30mm drop I think i might do the same should be fine.

To de-badge it cut the letter off with some dental floss then soak the foam that’s left with some wd40 then rub it off. I still have the one with the red centre if you want it.

30mm is fine at the mo but will be going lower next year

I have set you a private message ranson90

Things have bee quiet over the winter so far what with the great weather we have been having, so as this morning was a little warmer than it has been for a awhile I gave the car it first real clean of the year. And a couple of updates

First of all got a Seat strut brace fitted, soon to be colour coded

Image

Then a shark fin also soon to be colour coded

Image
Image

Then gave it a wash this morning

A couple of reflection shots

Bonnet

Plans for the coming months are:

Colour code strut brace and aerial
Paint towing eye black
Votex rear spoiler
Fix damage on drivers door
Coilovers
Fit the Seat console bushes
Possible new wheels

All comments welcome
