    Ok well ive done a few mods here and there to my car and thought i should post up some pics.  The photos are not great.. but its all about the car lol!

    list of mods so far

    RS6 wheels

    GTI rear lights

    Ipod instal

    2, 7" screens

    Rear Spoiler

    thats about it apart from tiny little things like vw rubber matts all aroud etc

    did have mud flaps but decided against them.. still may go back on

    Ok well here are some pics

     Photobucket" Photobucket" Photobucket Photobucket" Photobucket

    There is still loads of want to do.

    Lower it.  Get rub strips and door handles colour coded (but need to wait for the back to black to come off)  Rear mkv wiper.  VW centre caps for wheels.  Maybe tints.  Anni front.

     But i dont know whether just to wait and maybe get a bigger engine car.

    O and a new arial as some so and so nicked it last nite.. Angry

    Any comments welcome

    Looks superb to me mate. A sharan badge and an Enfig aerial would finish it of perfectly.

    yeh i forgot to add that, i already have one, but am going to wait for the car to go to the paint shop to get it done there (after reading your guide one time i thought i should just leave it to the professionals lol!)

    The Sharan badge is a synch! But I'm ultra fussy about paintwork and I had a load of parts for spraying to thought it wouldn't go a miss. As it turned out there's was way better than my feeble attempt! I highly recommend the enfigs, they fit perfect and look great.

     Ok have done a few more mods and thought i should post them up.

    i first of all got some vw centres for my wheels.

    Then it was to add a rear aero wiper to the rear, just hated the look of the old one.  still unsure wether or not to get a front one though

    Then i got round to painting my sharran badge, not the best of jobs but hey, first attempt at painting...

    need to polish the paint on it, or something.  bit disapointed with the top bit of the v.

    and i replaced my stolen arial,

    not the best of fits, but i got it off a scrap car..

     

    will have to give it a bit of a clean tomorrow.

     

    any comments welcome

    Nice looking car mate, i really like that colour.

     

    If you dont mind my asking, where did you get your rear wiper from, and how much did it set you back? Was it a new arm too, or just the blade?

    got it from vwspeed.  it was £22.  i had a look around and that was the cheapest i could find it! no doubt some others will have got it for alot cheaper tho!

    That's looking really good so far mate.  Nice subtle mods to a well looked after car.  Good work.

    Have you thought about de-locking?  There's several kits on E-Bay at the moment for less than £20 and it will solve the security issue as well as slightly improving the look of each side of the car...

     ok time for an update

    ive painted my front calipers, just waiting for two free days when i can start painting my rear ones, quite impressed with the look.  looks great looking in reflective windows at low speeds Stick out tongue lol

    before someone spots it there is a wheel nut missing.

    next was to start striping the car for painting

    all looks a bit sorry for itself atm, but will look all good again once its all painted up Big Smile

    ive got a V6 front and a cupra splitter going on (seen on another thread) however im painting the V6 front and possible the splitter, as i think this would look good, but we'll see.

    its also getting a nice new mirror casing as some numpty drove into mine !

    Loving the car mate, GREAT colour by the way!

    Where are you based if you don't mind me asking? (Just thought I recognised the view in one of the photos - I probably don't though)

     

    Hope to see you at a SW meet soon!

     lol agreed!

    i live just outside stround, you probs dont have a clue where that is tho!  i took the shots at swifts hill.

    yeh i saw the thread for it yesterday but im unsure if im away for that date or not.  its annoying cuz i always work on most weekends, would be great if they did a 'night drive/meet' on a weekday.

    but if im not on holiday i will try and make it
