[mellow yellow]

had a spare few hours today so decided to joey mod my fronts. and replaced a couple of bulbs that i noticed had shone their last glimmer of light.

i'm not 100% happy with them so i will be redoing them and spraying the inside of the grey plastic casing black as well in the future...

wheels alloys with be diy'd white ready for harewood house aswell..... i've just missed out on some new ones on the bay  but i'm still keeping my eye out for a bargain set ready for a refurb for next summer

i'm maybe thinking vr6 or passat duckbill splitter?

let me know what you think? suggestions for any more diy mods very welcome.

Looks good. Everything on a car is potentially DIY.

just ordered some new wheels cap badges and some carbon wrap, gonna attempt to smooth and wrap the boot plinth and the front and rear vw badges.

Hycote tint spray is cheap and pretty damn good to tint the front Indicators, fogs and blanks

think i'm gonna laminx tham tbh, i prefer them letting a bit of light through, rather than thick black.

Got some 3m carbon fibre vinyl through the post yesterday so thought i would have a bash at wrapping the badges last night.. the front one a quite a tricky shape to get right and i couldnt get all of the creases out of the outer edge where is curves around.

as per usual its not perfect but it will do for now, until i can be bothered to do it again.

i was thinking about doing the boot plinth as well? what do you think?

gonna attempt some little bits inside next, like the dial surround and the inner door handles as they are pretty scuffed.

pics of the badges.....
