Re: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 12-03-2012
Pretty easy, three screws and a load of glue. You'll need a glue gun to put it back together though

Re: Stanced XUD estate - Niall - 12-03-2012
You bastard! I was going to do my door cards. Lol mine are going grey. Got some suede same colour as the seats. Did you remove the old material?
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Foxy-jim - 13-03-2012
Those new pictures you hav look sweet mate! Where did you get the material from and how much did you buy?
Re: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 13-03-2012
Niall nah just glued onto the old material, the material I used is quite thin so the old stuff cushions it nicely.
Jim I got the material off eBay mate, search for faux suede and there's a few come up. The stuff's not the stretchiest though so was hard work around some contours, lots of repositioning!
Anyway, more stuff for the estate has arrived but still no engine
Plasma dials have arrived, they look exactly the same as everyone else's though so I won't bore you with pictures. Am waiting on more red suede stuff too to do the rear door cards.
My backbox arrived though. The wrong one, but it arrived. I was after this:

Cheap and cheerful and looks better than the 2" rusty scaffolding pipe currently fitted. However, a different box turned up

I actually quite like it though, it measures roughly 5.5" by 3", but the actual exit of the exhaust is only 2.75" or so. Quick 'shop of one fitted for you, along with some other tweaks...

Re: Stanced XUD estate - Niall - 13-03-2012
Did you have the leaf pattern cards? Mine are a textured black so not sure I can get away with gluing straight onto it. Will give it a go.
Sorry about the packaging on the dials! Haha

Could have shopped the oily finger prints off the boot while you were at it
I quite like it though
Re: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 13-03-2012
Oh shush mark, i'm just in from a 13 hour shift, think am putting that much effort in?

fair play, just felt that you had put so much effort into the rest of the pic and yet totally overlooked that!
Re: Stanced XUD estate - ginge191 - 13-03-2012
that exhaust looks better than the twin pipes imo..
works well with the shape of the rear end and euro style.. good effort
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Ruan - 13-03-2012
cwspellowe Wrote:Didn't know that Ruan! Didn't know the old plates were regional?
Definitely are! AF, GL, RL are Cornwall plates, possibly others too...
The new style plates are yeah, which are WL and WK.
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Connor - 14-03-2012
Get that box centre mounted, think it would look weird having something like that off to one side
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Curt - 14-03-2012
Don't listen to Connor, he talks funny
Loving this, that interior looks epic! May have inspired me to do something S3-esque in the Audi now, off to fleaBay. Like that exhaust too actually, and I don't usually like them.
Keep up the good work man, will be following closely
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Foxy-jim - 14-03-2012
The exhaust actually looks pretty good. This will be epic!
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Dan! - 14-03-2012
Ew.
Twin pipes ftw.
Re: Stanced XUD estate - 4WayDiablo - 14-03-2012
i like that one, could sit very well in an extended cut out
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Chris - 14-03-2012
Twin pipes for sure, will pop up a pic later of mine when I had the twin on it.
Re: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 15-03-2012
Whew, getting there eventually!
Cut the exhaust pipe and sleeved the back box on so I could start chopping things and making them nice before I remove the rear bumper and paint it. Pokes out a bit further than I want as i've not put it together properly, just wanted to get the shape for the exhaust cutout. I think I like it though
Got the front suspension built up too, brand spanking new coilovers, top mounts, bearings, track rod ends and ball joints. Oh yes. Need to paint the calipers, don't know what colour yet, and I painted the hubs hammerite gold to smarten them up a bit. The coilies are wound all the way down at the minute but bear in mind there's no engine, the helpers aren't fully compressed so there's a bit more to go yet. Rear desperately needs to go down but it's still got Gav's old beam fitted, yet to fit the refurbished GTi beam. So instead the boot's full of stuff, heavy stuff, to bring it down a bit
Anyway here's some pictures again. I like pictures. You may note that there's a white ph3 bumper on there now too. The grille's not staying white, wanting to remove it and paint it matt black but cba masking it off so painted the whole thing for now
Will see how the FMIC fits when I do it next month before cutting/painting it. Also have a Megane Coupé splitter to fit, perfect length for the ph3 bumper without cutting and is slightly shallower than the more common Laguna splitters.![[Image: DSCF1532.jpg]](http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m481/martypellowe/DSCF1532.jpg)

Last couple with the pressed plates on, wanting to get some French number plate surrounds though. Next month maybe.

Also broke out stage 3 of the paintwork deep clean, using Farecla's G3 paint restoration products. Already done the detox shampoo and clay bar, now it's the scratch restorer's turn. I'll let the pics do the talking.

the plates being sold i think. the sigma/yellow/bloody gti6 is long gone. not even chuck norris could revive it
Re: Stanced XUD estate - 4WayDiablo - 16-03-2012
I kinda like the white grill actually :-) would look epic when its down
Flaring them arches slightly at all?
Re: Stanced XUD estate - Foxy-jim - 16-03-2012
Was there anything else involved in that scratch removal? Or just rubbing some stuff on it? Could seriously use some of that on mine!

Re: Stanced XUD estate - cwspellowe - 16-03-2012
Look up the farecla g3 paint restoration kit, four stages and the whole lot comes to about £40, although I use a meguiars clay bar and my own polishes. The paint detox shampoo is great for loosening up road tar etc and stage 3, the scratch remover, is what I used in those pics, about £8 for the bottle at halfords.
Bear in mind this paint's a direct gloss, not a base/clear, so it cuts really easily. Not sure how it would be on a clear coat as they're usually harder than single stage.
