Had a full day working on the golf today. Got all the interiour back in at last, took me couple of hours to take out and couple of days to put back in :undecided: got a few clips and bits and bobs left over :grin: Had a problem with the rear drivers side seat belt, seems to of locked its self :angry: so will be looking to pick one up from somewhere.
Also put all the new jbl speakers in, really good sound, not set it all up yet but very loud and clear.














Thanks for looking feel free to comment.

Got a few bits done today, to start off it was time for a bit of a face lift for the old girl.


Before


Really like the clear headlights I no there not to everybody's taste.



The grill was a pain to get on and did not fit far enough back near the lights so had to use good old tie wraps :smiley:




Next was to change the wing bolts for some nice shiny ones.




Also changed the front indicators for some led ones. Was not sure about them at first but now there on I like the look of them. I have also got some new fog lights and new front bumper but bumper is waiting to be painted.




Next was to change the gear link for a weighted one

After



Couple of the car

Thanks bud

Got the g60 front brakes fitted today at the garage they had to use 5mm spaces to make the wheels fit. Will get the pics up at a later date.
Got a dubwiser gear selector other day, it was dull as hell when I got it.

Bit of elbow grease  :grin:


Today while doing a bit of shopping sore a very poor colour match :lipsrsealed:

Couple of hours on the car today, replaced the drivers seat cover.

Looking a bit sorry for its self


Tryed taking it off with out removing the seat but was proving to a pain in my arse so admitted defeat and removed it


After a bit of fiddling with the metal rods and looks loads better



And back in the car



Also put some new matts in



Give the car a clean today, beeding pic

Hi bud, still running it in at the mo so not give it rock all but have booted it a few times. Was not sure what to expect but there is noticeably more power. I wouldn't say it's fast but I have been driving the exige s for the last few months so it's bound to feel slow. If anything it makes me want to whack a turbo on it :evil:
