Few additions to the GTI
« on: 01 September 2014, 20:34 »
So after a full clean after having the bonnet machine polished to remove some previous over spray, I have finally got round to adding the LED interior lights and I know some people don't like bonnet bras, so I went for a stone guard. I think it looks better that a bra and wont damage the paint as much.

Car looks immaculate, LED's look great and still loving those yellow fogs  :cool:

Stone guard better than a bonnet bra, but still not convinced (though it looks better from the side).  Think I'd rather have stone chips, but what the hell, it's your car  :smiley:

Thanks, it took about 4 hours to do. It also needed doing because of some jealous idiots while I was out for a meal Saturday night throwing mayonnaise down the passenger side of her. Safe to I wasn't impressed coming back to that!

I'm still waiting for a price of a clear wrap on the front from a friend. but its a lot better that the leather bras.
