Cheers.

 :grin:

Mines been plastic welded solidly though, I'll warm you.  :tongue:

Barely any thickness to the filler on there haha.

Taking it to work tomorrow, bumper getting primed up and a matte black Golf bonnet going on, badgless grill (all I have kicking around other then a GL one that's cracked) and CL Joey'd headlights, so gonna look mean and moody for a while.

Doing some work on the bonnet and going to try and re split the headlights cause one isn't adjusting.

Other news, new stereo (well not brand new but free  :cool:) with an iPod lead in the glovebox.  :smiley:

Won an amplifier on eBay the other day so going to get the sub finally wired up soon, not been that bothered cause I don't drive it.  :grin:

Amplifier came.

POOR paint job due to dodgy paint and someone had spilt wax over the primered bonnet.  :rolleyes: Ah well it's temporary so I don't care.  :grin:

Looks weird though, needs a VR splitter and massive lows to even remotely pull it off:





 :grin:

The amount of peni' that are going to be drawn on this bonnet by my friends is immense tbh.  :laugh:

use a rubble bag  :wink:

cut it to size, mix up the fiber glass (the amount you need) place it where you need it, smooth it out with your hand (or what ever) allow it to dry peal the bag off, leaving a nice smooth clean finish  :wink: rather than having fiberglass all over the shop

 :cool:

Oh right I see! Fair enough cheers! I'll remember that.

Subwoofer and amp installed. Sounds excellent for the price. Pioneer speakers all round, Kenwood iPod headunit, amp & sub.  :grin:

Put the grill from my dads car on for now.



Machine polished the car, got other bits to clean when I can and get some pictures.  :cool:

Will get the Vento front on when bonnet is painted underneath and headlight adjusters fixed. Might try and put indicators in them.

Sound system isn't baaaad.

Sub is flipping loud, so got it turned right down. Head unit isn't great, not gonna lie, the pre out is on the rear channels. So Just having the front speakers on turns the sub off.

Bass on the HU is normally on -8 and it sounds alright til you turn it really loud then the HU distorts as it hasn't got the balls for the speakers up loud.

So buying a 5 channel amp I've just seen and gotta decide how to wire it all up. Could just use the one pre out but then you literally have two channels. Or could use high level inputs but obvs not as good. Might run the pre outs to the front then high level for the rear and sub.

Just want another HU really.  :grin:

So gotta buy some 0Gauge cable to the back, distribution block then  got enough 4gauge for the sub from the block.

Just annoying having it in the boot, don't want to put it under the seats because of the heat.

Think that's bad? I started piecing together a coilpack and spark plug for the exhaust for a "laugh".  :shocked: :grin:  It's alright 'til you get another car enthusiast, any normal person just thinks "wow look at that".  :laugh:

I didn't do it though.  :grin:

That is a loom from a 5dr with electric windows.

I was electric windows.

I'm going to recieve a headache, a burnt out car and no electric windows.  :grin:
