The bumpers were picked up on the 31st of December right before the close of business, and me and my dad had argeed to fit them on the 3rd as my parts where SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!



The parts didnt arrive, but we put the bumpers on without fogs first so we knew how to do it!!

My Clear Headlights and grille arrive but no sign of the fogs  :angry: anyway we took the grill off and got the others in after a trip down to VW for some headlight adjusters (x6) for the spots and £11 later the front end looked like this

22nd Jan The Fun Began; i got the car washed by the local hand car washers, because it was 2 cold!!  :rolleyes:


Bit Bored of just getting the car washed i decided to pop down to halfords and buy some RCA to Jack and an in car Ipod holder to hold the nano i got for my birthday. I decided to run it thru my amp for a quik fix. It works thru the amp playing the 6x9 and the Sub, sounds good enough i think

Alrite Guys, I went home last weekend and my abousolute LEGEND of a dad helped me out do some chores that i had!!

Since the last time i posted ive gained:

A vw bora flip key - ebay! (bargin!)
Gti Side Skirts - Sassyminx! cheers!!  :grin:
Gti Rear Arches
G60 Front Arches, i travelled about 45 mins down the M1 to collect the arches!

We firstly got done to business with the key, after an almost PERFECT guide by Dizzie!! (Cheers Mate) a angle grinder and about 30 mins all went well and it now looks like this:



We then got onto FINALLY fitting my german plates, didnt take long! looks so much better sorry i havent got one of the back?


Next Task was to start fitting the arches and hopefully the side skirts, we had just managed to get the fronts on we rain stopped play, for the rest of the day!  :cry: so ive gotta wait untill the next time i go home, which should be 2 weeks!!



When im at uni, i cover my car up just to protect it a little, so here she is when she went to sleep  :sad:


Sum more updates to come, any questions ask away!
