ok so i'm not great at updating this in little bits so have another bit posts So the interior in my car is grey, i hate grey, i want it dark... so i brought a full black plastic interior and tryed to fit it...the dash is not nice to get out...brut force and alot of swearing!! Yep i got pretty pissed off.... but it looks good finished. This was before i bolted it in.. your asking your self why is the centre console still grey? well that will be revealed soon dont worry guys So i treated my self...not that my wallet liked it one bit but, holy crap im so glad i got them, big thank you to Craig mahoney for the wheels, keep up the good work with you car buddy!! 15x7 stupidly shiny chrome and black bullet steels.... holy crap they are beautiful The suit the car down to the ground and so happy with them.... (dont mind the muppet, we dont let him out of the cage much) Ok so this weekend was Players then DC14, so i was stoked to have wheels on for the shows, now for a deep arse clean!! I took my rear lights off because whenever i jet washed aroind there so much dirt would come out so i decided to just take the light off and give it a good clean!! At players i brought some yellow film, yer i know scene as hell and over done but its my car and i think it will look sick! just a hint though... before.... After.... The fogs will be going a lot dark, only actually worked out how to use them 3 days ago.... So as i was finishing up the lights and cleaning up my buddy says 'why dont you do the bump strips' at 8:30 pm.... so i did and instantly regreted it, i now have a car with one side de bumped and the other not... why because i can okay!! During the long ordeal After... I took them off, cleared the glue and crap off it but then i saw a white line of faded paint....only my car would do this, so my mate spend what felt like a life time to bring the paint back to life but we only got a quater of it done but it will get complete.... sad right But after that the door was like glass, stupidly shiny... The image got shared and got loads of likes for some reason.... follow me on instagram @alexthetog So to cheer you up have a look at some shots i took of her for Low conformists at DC14... See you all soon -
love this car and followed the thread, keep up the good work man

Ok so i haven't posted on here for a good while and I've done quite a bit, so sit back, grab some walkers (other crisp companies available) and enjoy laughing at me trying to make my car look good! or should i say struggle? My buddies over at HERTZSIGNS in hatfield were kind enough to wrap my roof for me, been wanted a gloss black roof since the day i brought the car and finally got it done. Before During.. I After... Looks so good and really stoked with it, stupidly good finished and so well done! ok on to the next mod... The stock sport wheels weren't cutting it for me and I've had a set of G60's sitting around for a while so off to get new tires then onto the car! I know the tires look like massive ballons but these will be my winter wheel so i wanted some cushioning from the pot holes we all love and adore... Looks pretty rad on the g60's just wanting some merc caps for them now... Since I've had the car i haven't given it a good clean, I've seen a few people with snow foam lances so i thought ill go have a look and maybe buying one. Saw the price turned around and walked out. my and my buddy had a think and though we should make our own.... so after searching around the shops for a bit we found a £6 weed sprayer from home base.... 'you what' yes i know you thinking that but by god it works well! we had to make a few modifications to it but it works a treat and seriously gets that car shiny! SO after getting G60's on i decided to lower the car a little more for scene points of course but then my girlfriends crazy paved drive way happened and did this... Snapped straight off, laughed so hard, her dad wasn't too impressed that i wrecked the drive... low life yo! So with the lows i put on the scrubbing started so I decided to roll the arches a little, with a car jack, a mallet and a hair dryer....again probably thinking 'what the hell' with my buddies arch roller lost, this was the only way we could do it and surprisingly worked really well... i smell more lows on the horizon... A shamless selfie of my car...damn she's shiny...oh and the girlfriend too... Ok so went to the standard Sainsburys car park cruise and on the way back, i did a rookie mistake. Promise me lads and ladies you will never look down whilst driving, ever. Probaly the scariest moment so far in my life.... Any one want a slice of G60? AS you can tell thats a perfect shape of a curb... Alex you muppet... lucky nothing else was damaged in my car other than the starbucks cup that hit the roof lining... So this is what I've been looking forward to showing for a while, drove a 300 mile round trip to collect and should be fitted for FittedUK in july Any guesses gets a cookie cannot wait to get them in!! anyone else running them? Ok so i got talked into buying a clay kit and some god wax to seal the car and get it like glass.... 4 hours later i had a mirror for a car.. so stupidly clean until the next day and bird ****... just my luck!! is anyone going players? it will be clean for that!! Cheers for reading this stupidly long post, i will try and do more weekly postings from now on! see you at players!!!

Ok so the Recaros are fitted and I actually found out they are the 25th anniversary Mk4 Golf seats so pretty stoked with that. Ill just let the pictures talk for me..its too early in the morning…. Before... Yes that is a knife, yes i did use this. there is some really small plastic caps that were being so stupid, so i stabbed them ''I think this ride height will do just find lads'' I don't know what the guy did t these seats before i brought them but they are hella dirty but so so so comfy!! I attacked the seats with a steam cleaner…a little better but i need to get some upholstery shampoo or something to get these grey stains out!! Whilst having the steam cleaner out i gave a quick blitz to the engine bay, look 10x better but need to do a real detail soon and spray the air box and engine cover in the same green as the body also paint the rocker gold. The roof is going flat black on saturday morning which is rad!! Any suggestions to what to do next?
-
Damn that head liner is raaaaaad!! and also loving the colour coded badge, looks ace man! keep it up buddy!
-
New front recaros fitted, picture up later and also a engine bay detail with a steam clean…not sure how my car is still running
-
Off easy buddy, only £19.95 just make sure there the legal ones! So easy to fit! surprising good ride quality, a wee bit bouncy but end of the day your paying £200! i would highly recommend them mate

Looks rad man! should do it like a royal mail van

ok so over the weekend a lot got done to my little lupo…ill let the pictures explain…. So me and a few buddies got together and fitted my coil overs in a car park outside a kids play area…ghetto as hell right?! WAs quite easy mainly because i have two friends that are mechanics, took just over 2 hours with a lot of breaks…. I think this height will do just fine The rear was stupidly easy to fit…none of us knew it was two separate bits to install…so so easy! Good thing about having mechanics as friends they have access to the top of the range equipment so i got my tracking done with some crazy laser system.Cheers dan!! didn't cost me a penny either!! When i got home from the getting the car tracked my number plates were finally here, they look so so much better than the originals!! Ill photograph my car very soon, getting my new interior this week! what do you guys think so far?
-

So talked to a mate who wraps cars for a living at Hertz signs in Hatfield and he's will be wrapping my roof flat black next Saturday.... She's finally starting to get there!!
