Title: Opinions on some new mods :)
Post by: jnufcuk on 06 July 2012, 17:32
Just thinking about what else I can do to her?

Was thinking clear indicators on bottom ( best place to get them from?)

Hopefully picking up a smooth front bumper tomo for free  :cool:

Engine wise I wanted to get some waterbottle covers but not sure where I saw them? Anything else I can tidy up?

Thanks

A few pics of the olde girl  :smiley:

Ye gunna get clear lights for bottom. Gong to keep the mk4 style ones as I quite like it, takes me back to my mk4 days  :grin:

Badged grill sounds like a good idea, will have a look for a vr6 one :D

Might spend some money on upgrading engine but quite expensive to do anything to vr6 it's it?

Oh, picking up a smooth front bumper tomo for free so will get it sprayed and put on  :cool:

Just picked up a smooth front bumper. Need to get it sprayed and decide what to do with numberplate  :undecided:

Don't fancy running it in front window so need to either screw it on or sticky tape  :undecided:
Title: Re: Opinions on some new mods :)
Post by: dubstar9 on 07 July 2012, 22:35
Make a bracket that positions the number plate in front of the centre grille and 10mm or so in front on the bumper, makes the number plate look like its floating  in front of the car.

Can you not do the old super magnet trick with the number plate? means at shows it can be removed and leave no marks...saw it over on the mk5gti.co.uk site.  Not sure it can be done with the mk3 but woulda thought so. magnet has to be strong enough to "pull" through the plastic of the bumper

That's my plan. Got some off eBay. Haven't had chance to try it yet though. They feel bloody strong lol. Will keep updated.

Also on look out for new rear bumper, mine has all stews fractures on it so easier to get new one then spray it :D
