Title: She's back!!!!
Post by: Vtec Abuser on 08 August 2008, 16:26
Picked the old girl up this afternoon from my mates bodyshop and he's not done a bad job at all (+ gave it a mint up for me)..
Headlight still needs some alignment, (as isn't quite sat right, but that's getting sorted tomorrow). and replacement grill is en route..
Took a few pics with some new additions too.. What do you guys think?

Certainly won't be going for a record ring time mate.. Off with my old man in his M5 too. Doubt i'll even take the car on to be honest with it being company car, to much can go tits up and when it does, it's not ideal being 500 miles from home..
Going more for the trip, weekend and to perv over what other exotica is there. Oh and for a lap or two in the M5..  :cool:

Cheers guys (and gals), glad you have given it the thumbs up (even if I did have to sacrafice the rear GTI badge)..
Have had it a while and was going to wait until I got back, but thought sod it and couldn't wait. Especially as I had a red GTI badge on the front and silver on rear..  :undecided:..

Looks sweet mate..
Yeah it is a Milly mate, actually off a GTI originally (not Ed30 one), but seems to be working well with the car.. Does stick out a little more than the Ed30 Milly, but it doesn't look to bad in the flesh at all.. Same with the wheels, my camera phone always seem to make my car look sh!t for some reason (exhaust looks on the piss for some reason  :huh:).. Will have to get my digi camera out at some point and take some proper pics..  :wink:
