Get your orange rear lights sorted mate

Also, on a serious note. What's up with your front bumper mate where it's been smoothed, you can see it all the way along?

lol, they look real red in some lights and in others they've faded real bad...

the bumper has been on for bout a year now and has had a few knocks and sank etc... luckily its in the bodyshop in 2 wks time to have the whole front end (bumper, splitter, bonnet re-painted and blown into wings) done. will also be getting them to put some gloss red on the tail lights!

and a few other bits if funds allow

Cool, will be good to see it again another time then, another thing you should do is laquer your carbon, that would finish it off a treat. It looks pretty cool though, I had to have a peek at it

Did you get a chance to see mine at the Pod?

dude jus get a pair of clear or smoked hellas and take a pic of mine (or whatever look you want) to a body shop... they should be able to thin some paint down and do a better job than i've done, its real easy to follow the lines and mask off the sections...

like i say mines getting touched up by the bodyshop in a fortnight...

i did have a peek at yours MM, with the metal plates, like the bumper! when you gonna deck it!?

oh here we go...all these convo lead to the lowering stages

yes i have lowered mine but it still looks standard

im hoping to invest in some coilies later in the year when funds are freed from clearing my debt only about Â£1000 to go woo hoo

Well once the the audio has actually arrived in this country and I've bought and had it fitted, I'll perhaps see about lowering it then.

Think I'm only going to go with something like 50mm just so I can keep the OEM kind of look, but be sitting closer to the ground

Maybe a set of Eibach like PhilGTi had but with uprated shocks.

Randall · Post by **Randall** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 5:04 pm

Those would be Eibach Sportline springs...as i have these on mine. Somehow the GTI sits more nicely on these than the lower end models probably to do with damper styles etc and being a sportier model

how do you get the rear lights like that?

do you buy like clear 1's then get them painted red in the parts u want done?
