Picked up my new genuine arch yesterday to replace this:

Only just ordered some genuine black vw rivets for it yesterday so im hoping i might get chance to have a go at it this weekend! Also need to get the front bumper off for deejay to repair where the first owner scraped it

hoping this weekend or next!

Also my tailored mk2 car cover showed up so i can keep the car dust free and out of the sun in the garage. I'll wait until it's had a proper clean until i have a go at fitting it though as it's still dusty and dirty from last sunday when i drove it to work.

Lastly, these showed up:

Red/gold center caps. Bit of an impulse buy, an expensive one at that but i wanted to try tie in the red grill and red gti side strip badges with them. I'll see how it looks though next time the car is out!

Lastly the car is going into VASSTECH this saturday for an oil/inspection service. Hopefully nothing will be flagged up!

These center caps should look good on your motor.
Been toying with the idea of some blue ones for mine.

Wgat are you doing with the black ones and what size are they?

Wondered when the red centers would appear!!

I sowed that seed in your mind...

Thankyou buddy, the seller i got them red ones off is doing blue ones too. Expensive though

they are the chrome/white/grey ones on at the moment:

I'm afraid ill be keeping them, they dont make them anymore either so took me awhile to track down and cost quite a lot of money (still £35 short of what them red ones cost me though

)

Been awhile!

Few pics i stole of North East Car Care's Facebook page from when the car was detailed!

Finally a proper pic of the wheels with red caps in:

and a few pics from vwfest over the weekend, cheers to all who took them! Car had been detailed by Butler at NECC a couple of weeks previous and i had it at a small local show the week before vwfest too. It gets quite a lot of attention on show, was quite overwhelmed at first!

Car has also had a service and inspection, they said it was immaculate and solid as a rock underneath too

Looking luuuuurvly mate.

Thanks mate, really happy with it now, think it's time to leave it as it is for time being. Will continue the hunt for a NOS front bumper though!

Two weekends back a friend off the local forum who is parts manager for all the local lookers asked if id lend the mk2 to VW Lookers for one of their weekend promotions. I was more than happy to oblige! Few pics:

Then just a few pics from yesterdays vagcars.co.uk/ north east car care/ jmb retrofits meet to keep the thread up to date, thanks to Paul and BondandBigM for the pics!
