smitty - 2.slow yellow Colour Concept

[smitty12]

First i finally fixed my window! 
didnt get many pics as it was raining and snowing but heres when i had the door card off:


I also had a look at the rear wiper jet as that broke a few weeks back 
had a look about and the pipe had disconected so put in back in and its fine again:

[smitty12]

Still not managed to get the W8 light & Bora vents in but this weekend when i was down UD i got myself some pressed plates:


Put these on last night, will get some pics up for how they look 

Also got my side light bulbs in, got rid of the old yellow light look and replaced for complete white headlights
will get some pics up as well. Really pleased with this, doesnt look like the car is 8 year old anymore 

[smitty12]

Right as im now free from uni for 4 weeks im going to get some pics up and get the bora vents & W8 interior light in!
Ive just been lazy the past few days so tomorrow since i should be free till 5pm im going to get cracking on these vents and this light 
I'll get the camera out aswel so should have a good few updates by the end of the week 

Cheers for reading,
Will keep you all updated

Loom for the vents is on its way up, got the W8 light loom in the garage ready to go with the vents 

for now thou a few new updates...
Mr AA man had to help me out:


First off my car decided to take up self harming:



At first i replaced the fuse and checked all connections hoping for a quick fix, this was the temporary fix while waiting for a fuse: lol

It wasnt a quick fix. After replacing the fuse a second time decided to check charge coming from the alternator, it didnt look good! was reading between 1.74 and 15.46 volt output

This = dead alternator

Can you spot what missing?

...

Yup alternator completely chucked it so basically just replaced for a new one £130 down the drain.


But on a lighter note! New parts which im very pleased with is my new front aero wipers  rain is no longer a problem! 


Also finally got my pressed plates fitted 
Old plastic plate off and front cleaned up:



And New metal pressed plates on and ready to go 

[smitty12]

Finally got my second set of Alloys back all referbed and sprayed grey, wasnt sure how they would look on the car but got them fitted and this is how they look... 





and on the car:




I've also done the front grill and badge black to see what it looks like (at the moment its just electricians tape  ) Next post should have updates on sprayed parts 

Cheers for reading,
will keep you all updated,

Right after beeing scammed out of £26 from "toomany" on here im finally going to get a loom done by wazzzer  many thanks his way 

Ive also de-badged "GOLF", got a black VW badge courtesy of Mat (Northeast_gti-t) and sprayed my interior mirror black 

Will get all updates up in pictures 

[smitty12]

As said, updated pics on the De-badge of "GOLF":


Sprayed the interior mirror black:


Think I'll be doing the grill later on this afternooon.

Quick shot of the fitted black badge and fitted interior mirror, looks far better than the stupid beige rectangle that was before imo 


Also got a Sharan rear badge coming tomorrow which i think will have to be done black, might also spray "GTI" black? not sure yet thou
