Bumper looks great, good job... :afro: I'm not too sure on the wee in your headlights but I think it would work much better with a bit of joey modding to separate the two parts of the units more clearly.

Thanks mate, they are getting there!

i know not many people will like the yellow but i love it! i thought about the joey mod but i think thatd be to much with the yellow.

QUICK TIP, instead of upgrading your headlight bulbs, strip down headlight and clean lense inside and out, i cant beleave how bright my lights are now!  :cool:

something else has popped up now, a 15" mountney steering wheel, quite fancy it tbh!



what do you reckon??

Ive driven a couple of ac cobra replicas and theyve got similar steering wheels, even tho they are quite big steering wheels the are a dream to hold!

mmm got me thinking perhaps use the gear know out of a cobra replica too, and just flick off the cobra badge and replace it with vw. :rolleyes:
