Looking very nice mate, where abouts you from?

thx dude from guernsey mate in the channel islands. 35 mph speed limit . Hence snooper

Jamie

Thought you may have been by the plates, at least you get to have them legally.

Yeah. . . . like your plates mate. Pretty slick too

great plate m8, must have been a few quid!

how did you mould the custom dash console?!

wish i had taken pics of it during the stages but . . . . lazy . Anyway. Basically Screen came in a case. Took off case apart. Cut biger hole in OEM dash and fitted the front casing of screen in . Then fibregalssed it in place back and front. The fillered it, got it all smoothed off. (mission!) Then sanded all down. Plastic primed, Primed, sanded, sprayed from like 8 foot away with glass black acrylic, about 11 light coats. Couldnt believe i managed to get the same look as the dash. Was chirping! The screen/circuit board is screwed onto the front part of the case it came in so you can remove the rear of the case no problem, which is basically how it is.

Fantastic work and idea, defo looks part of the dash and works well

Two drinks holders, you must get thirsty! I liked the tray for my coins!

Looks fantastic mate!

I got jealous of my passengers one My m8s have a habit of 'racing' one against the other. Weirdos. . . . . guess its some kind of incar entertainment

Just as long as they're happy

Seriously impressed with your car, mate!

I had a red 3 door gti, and never got around to any mods, apart from a K&N air filter

Sorry to but in on the thread - your car looks sweet.....

but do these wheels look similar?

17" wheels picked up for one of my cars (off ebay)

Stunning.

Easily one of my favourite mk5's.

Very very nice! Big thumbs up looks the dogs b*****ks! Btw how much were those alloys and how do you go about importing a set, had a look on the Rays website and would love to get hold of a set of some of the alloys on there. Ta

nice car mate
wouldn't change a thing on it!
