So its like christmas at my house this morning. the postman brought me my smoked crosshairs and badgeless grill with spoiler.. I also managed to get local lad to end his E bay listing for a set of G60 arches.(seems funny having to buy back the arches i fitted new to golf 5 years ago.


I had to give them a very good clean and restored them back to black using black dye plastic restorer this is a great product for plastic!

On removing the front bumper I found the reinforcing bar was very bent as it is hanging down slightly on nsf. So i will be getting new one from GSF and will be painting this as the one on the car is a bit faded.

So i removed all the arches and polished and clean all dirt off fitted arches and grill this is how she looks now
