In other doings:

 

Took that lot first off cut the dodgy alarm wires:


Soldered:


Heatshrinked:


Then cut out this:


Left me with:


Leave the current central locking loom in there as it's more work and pointless changing that out. That loom there is purely front windows.

While I am there, I may run new speaker cabling direct to the headunit with a lot of slack, so that I can neatly run some far better speaker cabling to the rear of the car when I get my new amp.

Nice going..... I hated doing electrics but it's one of those hidden things you can be proud of when done and it all works.

Cheers mate. Nah I liked reading your thread. Trust me, garages will happilly twist and tape wires  but even though it would be easy to chuck it all in, I'd rather take the time to wrap it and know it's in there, it's done and I don't have to worry. 

EDIT: 3mm Blue LED's ordered for all the switches.

Gonna order the heater dials next pay day then get the full backlit dials when I sell some bits.

Roll on next Friday, insurance is done and my boss is gonna try and get the bumpers sprayed up.

It's work like that that ended up being the final nail in the coffin for mine, All the previous electrical work, Remote Central Locking, Dead Locks, Clifford Concept etc etc was all carried out by Professionals! When I started stripping it out, all I saw was sh*t! So lazy professionals then.

Will you be able to drive this again soon then?

Yeah I know we see some right crap work. I'd be a crap alarm fitter cause I'd spend too long soldering, heatshrinking then wrapping the cables and the money wouldb't cover the hours.

Yes! Next Friday I'm 18, half day at work, throw the bumpers on and go for a massive driving session, then park at a mates and go to the pub.

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.

Hi there i have cl headlights all apart atm and im not sure what bits to paint as most of its reflective? did you just paint around the outside?
Tab bit confused 
IS this the same as yours?

BTW is it legal? what i mean is will it pass an mot? 

[Seanl]

Yeah the outside top lip bit. With the GTI lights theres a bit more of it being twins and they are corrogated. The lamps dont use that top bit so it wont affect lighting efficiency, therefore wont affect legality.

[Ferdinor]

Thank you

Any updates on the bumper?

[Bellend]

Nah, works suddenly been busy. 

After my bonnet attempt, I do not trust myself with a spray gun. 

Boss said it should be done for when I can drive it again, Friday.
