Are those strut covers you got ?

it takes a while but its worth it

and i dont think so? its how it was when i got it, and i dont think the last owner would have put them on,

Mine aint got them. I will upload a pic in a min to show you.

okay, i guess the previous owner must of put it on then

Thats a bit strange, ive never seen one without it, i just persumed they all came with them?

I would of thought mind should have them as well.

Wonder if I could get some

yeah im sure you could, there only a plastic covering, so i doubt they would cost much either.

I will have a look out for some, any one got any ideas where I can get them ?

Another Small Update -

Finished -



Door pin surrounds -

That would be great mate if you dont mind, the breakers down here dont have many VWs and when they do there golfs or 6ns Its a pain in the @$$.

il get on the phone over the weekend have a look for you mate,

Cheers mate that would be great, Im in no rush for them when ever your there will be fine.

Update:
Right just got the car back from SouthCoast Tints this morning, done an absolutely amazing job and would definitely recommend them, got medium tints done, and this is what it looks like




Also had a few other bits turn up this week, one them being headlight surrounds and some other bulbs like interior, etc



Also got a bit of time today to take some decent photos of the car, let me know what you think?

Needs a bit of lowing in my opinion dude. Other bits look nice though.

not a 6n2 driver but part of the 1.0 crew

looks really good so far and its nice to see the modifications slowly growing

must be gutting not driving it though

i agree with the next mod coilovers it makes the car look amazing just be careful with the insurance side of things
