Ahh cool, defo have to do a load. I'm going to wait until may and get the MOT out of the way. Then HIDs maybe. What colours are you doing the centres greg? Have you managed to look at lowering yet lol? Daz

Just going to do them the classic silver, want to keep it as original as i can Got some GTI springs on it

Fair play, the silver finish does look classy. Are you just running polished lip then? I think with this second set i'm going to paint the outer because i'm sick of polishing up the current set lol. GTi springs look ok, are you going to keep the rub strips black?

yeh im going to leave the lip polished haha i will probs get sick of it after a while! Yeh looks sweet urmm for the time being, but plan to get colour coded in the near future, cost alot of money though dont they?

Depends I guess, if you find a breaker or seller with a full set I can't imagine them being that expensive? Worst come worst, just spray them. Colour match is a s**t though but anything can be done. Probably wouldn't cost a lot to get sprayed up at a bodyshop, but then the colour match might not be 100% as the car isnt new.

Car looks good mate,

Subtle changes always work the best and you have made a good start.
Front fogs and GTI grille look soo much better

im liking the progress, did you start off with a 'E' model too? let me know how your central locking and alarm go, i need to get that sorted, i hate the manual doors

News update

Just bought myself two blue cathode footwell lights will look sweet as I have blue seats aswell

haha, tell me about it, the worst is having to take the key out the ignition get out and go round and open the boot when someone wants to dump something in the back

the window winders are getting annoying too lol

What are the footwell lights like? I wanted to try a set, but didn't want the brightness of the cathode lights (I've got a pair in my computer), and just wanted something a little softer.

Cars looking lovely though mate, keep it up!
I'm stuck with the E model, too, but I put in electric windows, and the Rclick system, so it's not too bad.

Although, everyone told me putting in windows would be too hard/impossible, they work fine! (Y)

Got any pictures of the lights?

The footwells lights are awesome ! Perfect colour match with the dash . You can always wrap tinting film around them to soften the brightness mate electric windows are always a bonus, I might do mine soon ! Havnt got a proper picture yet as they aren't fitted yet, I only tested them

How did these go? are they OEM quality and solid or have they got a cheapish feel especially the windows? are are they OEM?

and is the Rclick system any good? about to go for it with the alarm package

They were pretty easy to fit, although running the loom was kinda hard. They came off a 6N2 that already had electric windows, so they were just plug and play.

The only thing i had to do was run a live feed from the fusebox to the doors, and then the cables to control the other door (the driver switch can control the passenger side, too).

And the Rclick seems really good, I've had it for 7 months now, and its still working fine.
The keys even come with a VW sticker, so they look almost OEM.
