Gave it quick snow foam (hand held sprayer) and a jet wash so I can see my GTI badge mod in full effect  :smiley:

Just a minor upgrade.
Brushed Aluminium, going to get my rear diffuser painted gloss black also.
Anyone else noticed that the standard wheel finish is terrible? Where the diamond cut and the black meet is horrible.

Hope this works ??




Not sure how to post images, plus using an iPad for this is painful.

Looking forward to seeing the gloss diffuser. Thought about doing this myself.

Meant to say got this done at Infinity Wraps in Cumberbauld.
30mins, £40.00 for the mirrors.
Cheap and easy mod.

Rear diffuser will need to be painted, as it's rough plastic a wrap won't hold so well.
The Chappy at infinity said £50-£60 done in a day.
Is it easy to take off myself? I suspect it's just a few screws.

Looking at new wheels for her.

Looks a good job, I'd of been tempted to go with black though to compliment the black in the bumper.

I had thought about gloss black, but so many cars have these.
Then on route to Infinity Wraps a Red RS4 past me and liked the contrast with the red and aluminium.
The pics don't do it justice, though for £40 it's easy changed, might look at gun metal or anthracite next.

I fitted door exit warning lights. It's more involved than doing it in the mk5. I'll put up a how-to during the week.
