I know, covered by VW for 10/12 years though, so gonna get onto them to sort it out.

Ordered some material for the inside today. Got red suede for A/B/C pillars, was going to do the roof the same but thought it'd be too much.
Stuck between black suede ot this stuff http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pirate-Polycot...559wt_1163
What do you lot think?

[samass]

piiiiiiirate!!

Thought that was only to the original owner?

[Carlos182]

Doesn't state that in the book. Worth an ask anyway, worst they can say is no TBH.

[Dum-Dum]

Defo worth an ask as I reckon the bill from VAG to fix that properly so it dosent go again in the next 4 years will probably come close to what you paid for the car.

[Carlos182]

Nothing too interesting, fitted LED sidelights and number plate lights today.
Fronts are well bright!



Smartens the rear up a bit too

[Carlos182]

Been doing a bit of spraying today as the weather has been okay. Decided to get the front bumper looking a bit better as it was a bit scraped. Couldn't be bothered to do the whole bumper as the worst of it is on the bump strip bit.
Strip off and rubbed down

Decided to have a play with the grille. Car's having a red/black/silver theme...
Looking a bit sorry for itself

Grille sprayed/spraying

Badge after a polish and some paint.

And back on.

Not sure if I should do the badge black too...

And now its all back together.


Colour match isn't too bad for saying it was done pretty quickly and out of a rattle can!

Comments please

Oooh good stuff. Makes me want to crack on and get the spray paint out on mine now, iv got a few bits iv been meaning to do for a while now!

[Carlos182]

There's a few bits I want to do to mine too, but all in good time.
Just ordered some plate surrounds and some new plates so should freshen things up a bit.
Next job for me is to paint the Monty 2's

I think a smooth front rubstrip is next on the cards for mine, and maybe colour coded smoothed in front valance

What colour you thinking of doing the montys?

Just a tip/thought aswel, I just sold my montreal 2's for £200, but most sets go for £230-250 on ebay. Fair whack of money towards new wheels there if needed!

Was thinking of going anth on them.
How the feck do they go for that much?!
Would have been nice, missed out on a set of BBS reps and tyres for £400 t'other day

[Dan!]

Anth should look good

And its just because they are the best standard wheel they put on golfs/boras so everybody wants them instead of their montreal 1's, steelies etc.

Also, spam the hell out of Edition until you get 200 posts then have a look in the classifieds, theres so many wheels for sale on there its crazy :romance-inlove: I dont even want any new wheels but i still sit there for hours looking through and window shopping

[Toms306]

That badge looks cool Carlos! . And anth rims would look good on silver, mine looked ace covered in brake dust on the silver golf lol.

Also, how much for month 2s Dan? :o. I cetainly didn't pay that.much for mine!

[Dan!]

Also, how much for month 2s Dan? :o. I cetainly didn't pay that.much for mine!

I advertised mine for £150 at first and nearly had my hand bitten off! Stuck them on ebay and got loads of offers of £180/190/200. A few sets I was watching ended up going for nearly £250. Thats with good tyres mind....

Wow, they must have gone up since I bought mine lol, good goodyeats all round and absolutely no scuffs or scratches at all....can't remember the exact price but it was under 150 lol. However they ate obviously collection only....and people can't be arsed with driving out in the country to pick up wheels....might be why mine were 'cheap' lol.

[Megamonkey]

Looks pretty good, I guess your going to touch up the rest of the bumper when you get chance?

[Carlos182]

Right. Today started the mission of sorting out the paint.
Started by claying, then a pass with Megs #80, SRP then Megs Gold Wax.
State of he clay after just doing the top of the boot!

The boot was pretty badly scratched up...

But didn't come out too badly.


Decided to de-badge the right hand side of the boot as the badge was pretty scummy.





Cleaned up under the bonnet. Before;

After;


Then had a go at polishing up the lights and the bonnet.





Next to my Dad's S3. I need those wheels...



That's all I got done today. Still need to do the bumpers, doors and roof.




And a couple of other random photos




And yes, I know I'm a photo whore.

[samass]

ooooooh nice and shiney man... top job!

liking the badge as it actually, nice and subtle with the red behind, black would be a bit much imo

[Toms306]

I like the S3 ....the numberplate is illegally spaced though......

And talking of plates, get yourself a new pair for the Bora and stick them on.

[Dan!]

Needs black masks

I think I'm gonna have to agree too. Looks good when you catch a glimpse of the red behind it too

Meh, not been pulled yet for 'em and they've been on different cars like that.
New plates and surrounds are on the way to me as we speak so nurrrrr.

Needs black masks

All in good time Dan. Only had the car just over a week!
Gonna get everything shiny first!
