New bonnet on, carbon sexyness
« on: 21 September 2011, 00:49 »
Me and s-l-i-x on here got down to business, with the bonnet at the house and the carbon wrap with advice and a guide from stainesy (much credit). we got cracking right away with the wrapping, which took a coffee break and some fiddling. Got there in the end and I was chuffed.

Took a few quick photo's before the change over, poor quality though

My ruined bonnet:


The new sexy carbon one:


Bonnet off and ready for swap:



























Now for the lolz and rolflcopter.

I sourced the bonnet from a cabriolet without much thought, turns out the bonnet has different clips and is a different size all together, its longer and narrows more  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

So now I have a mk3.5 bonnet for sale, followed by a journey in a KA up north for a wedding as I'm not driving the golf now, followed by I just put a big scratch in my rear n/s panel due to a broken railway fence in the bushes... the fun never ends! Good news is, I still have a sense off humour  :grin: :grin: :grin:

haha, I blame VW for a botch mk4 Cabriolet that has a completely different front end demension yet looks like a mk4 and uses a Mike|3oat chassis... my fault for not researching, I assumed they where identical as they looked identical even when parked up next to a Cabriolet at the magestrates, but it makes good forum humour!

Good news is I'm picking up a "real" mk4 bonnet tonight and will be reppin dragon green till more carbon wrap comes

yep bluewater, best workshop for after dark work, has more disabled parking than Europe. But we always working in weird places. Painting calipers in a lay by, using bwater for lighting, my parents drive for other work like FMIC and wellding shorter drop links.

Both on Audi rims.

Just there's an idiot Kent police plod down bluewater who just pulls everyone. I can deal with the met as I see alot off there lads at work, but Kent police are a pain.
