Interesting way of doing it; most people have been removing the front lense!

I think I might use your method though, as it looks easier to reseal the unit. You don't need to get a perfect fit, as the resealed area is hidden anyway.

Thanks.

Was thinking the same and I was one of the ones that removed the front lens. Though by using a 2 part epoxy to stick them back together again they're 100% waterproof too. But that way means the fit of the unit won't change.

Thanks Ben! I got them from a guy called Al on Instagram, really happy with them though! Hahaha I'm sure they'd love to! I was gunna give mine a go but heard a few mixed reviews on how difficult it is so may just end up paying someone to do it professionally.


Small update today! I re-plastidipped the engine cover and much happier with it now. Fitted with the carbon battery cover:



It still is a long way off being a show engine bay, but it's a start! Watch this space

Finally finished all four wheels this afternoon! 7 cans of primer, 7 cans of paint and 7 cans of lacquer (not to mention the number of blisters from sanding!!) they're done. Wooohoooo!

Leaving them for a week now for the paint to harden before putting tyres back on, ready for winter...





And new centre caps fitted:



Happy days

Tom

But darker than standard, nice subtlety [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Wheels look great!

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like them!

This weekend I met up with a few friends at a local car meet and got some shots. The wing mirrors have really grown on me, really liking how the car looks at the moment!









The to do list now includes:
Smooth bonnet
Respray both wings
Scirocco R Side Skirts
Facelift Headlights
R line rear bumper
New Wheels for next show season

Thanks guys, you're too kind

What bulbs you end up using Tom?

They're actually the standard bulbs dipped in orange for the time being, no LED ones would work

On the plus side... Dewipered!

Looking good mate!

Managed to get the wiper arm off in the end then!

Car is looking mint as always Tom. Have trouble with the rear wiper as ive seen loads of people say it was a pain to get off and want to do it myself.
