Post by: Wide on 22 July 2017, 19:43
What do you think?  :wink:


The company that does my wrapping will go on it seriously later.  :grin: :grin:

electrical insulating tape is underrated for car mods and should be used more widely!

I personally think I'd leave it pretty much standard on the outside but how about some vinyl lower door stripes like a Clubsport in black or silver but without the lettering (similar to a mk1 GTI)?

Oh, and you should line the bottom triangle (middle bit of the W) up with the tyre valve cap when putting in centre cap logos. Just my OCD thing there...

Would VW OEM centre caps not fit those wheels?
And for wheel bolt covers, if your VW ones don't fit the holes then try SEAT or Audi bolt covers.  :wink:

Wide, sorry but I'm not keen on the additional red striping either. I think less is more as we say in the UK; IMO your car looks great without extra stripes. I'd leave the external cosmetic changes at just the wheels and centre caps.

This made me smile Exonian. When I had the tyres fitted to my new wheels last year, I deliberately didn't take the VW centre caps to the tyre fitter. The tyre fitter put the wheels on the car for me, but I wanted to make sure the VW logo lined up with the tyre valve on all the wheels, so I fitted these when I got home.

So you're not the only one with centre cap OCD :grin:

Love the reg plate, but not the red stripes. Sorry. The front doesn't look too bad, but the rear valance just looks cheap.

If you really can't resist and have to do 'something' to the exterior then i'd go with the Clubsport/Up GTi side stripes suggested by Exonian.

Many questions and opinions, thanks!

Yes i have  looked at the car for 2 days, and i think " Kia Ceed GT styling " will go away.. :grin:

i have done the mirrors black, you maybe aldready seen like the CS and love it. I had plan to make the hole roof black.  But my friend who do wrapping wanted to take down the ceiling if it sholud be prper done...but i don´t want that for now.. :sad: :smiley:
 l
I have tought of doing the CS lower striping....but what should the text be on that?!.  :sad:

I will move the centercap  when i take the wheels of next time!, good point!

And no standard was to small, i have looked for some new on ebay. But you have 100 of different diameter. So this was the Easiest way to go :grin:

And problem with the bolts also, the wheel is to tight to get on bult covers unfortunately...

 :smiley:

Wide, Photobucket no longer allow free third party image hosting, that's why your pictures can't be seen.

You either need to upgrade your Photobucket account at an exorbitant cost of USA $399 (:shocked:) or switch to an alternative to Photobucket.

Not surprisingly, I don't know of any one who's paid Photobucket to upgrade. Postimage (www.postimages.org) seems to be a popular choice, or Imgur.
