Whos been working on their mk3???
« on: 28 February 2009, 15:52 »
Today I have fitted my bonnet bra, and then I plugged in my sub and amp.... what a f**king ball ache fitting the cabels is for the amp, so much harder than on a mk2 and mk1, buts its finally done.
I then got a new valve fitted to my tyre as it was shagged, and then hovered and washed the car, tomorrow I am going to wax her.... WOW how awesome!!!

I've always liked the Highline rear badges but would never have one, like my black one far too much :grin:

I installed my new VR6 spoiler.



Then bent the sill a little bit using the stupid VW jack, why haven't I learnt over 20 years that VW jacks are sh!te!! Went and bought a trolley jack.

Jacked up car and fitted a Le Mans wheel to see how they look. Then took them down the tyre place to have the tyres removed ready for me to refurb them.



Next job, get some coilovers and drop her down then fit the refurbed Le Mans on.

Plates are pressed metal in uk font....avalible from dubmeister etc and the grommit was from halfrauds. I drove many vans in my life without rear screens so I don't miss not having the wiper (every one's different tho!)
