Gordi Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Love this car!!Thankyou forgot to ask what material you used for the door handles?Its black Suede. quite easy to do and looks really good in car Received this in the post on Friday getting it sprayed up soon. this is a massive improvement in my opinion, I don't like the little vented lip that comes standard on the openair. what yous reckon?Also after waxing I tried this over the weekend. works really well, love it Edited January 19, 2015 by Gordi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordi Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Spent an hour re-trimming my rear door cards last night, they came out pretty good for a first go Also I got bored so did a little chop (not brilliant) of the sort of thing im going for: or mebs with a smoother front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3LLIOTT Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Love your rear door cards mate, they look sweeet! I've been meaning to do mine for a while now, so could I ask where you got the material? eBay?Personally though, I wouldn't paint your wheels black. I think it makes them blur in and look a bit mehh. Just my opinion though, as I'm loving the updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) just from a material shop in mytown but you can get it off ebay and use spray glue called trimfix its like £5 off ebay. the wheels are booked in Friday for powdercoat . they aint gloss black they are the same as what I had my tt ones done in, looks lovely. and as the cars are the same colour I know it will look awesome. im sorta going for the same look with the lupo Edited January 20, 2015 by Gordi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Will be very tidy if you close to the photoshops. Is it really as easy as it looks to do the door cards? Not miss the gti at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not miss the gti at all? it wont be far off. id love a re-spray before ultimate dubs, last owner scuffed a few of the bumpers which is a let down there not too bad just stressfull haha make sure you have spare material incase you go wrong! I do miss it but I had it for 4 years nearly then tt and now just happy to have something cheaper to run and insure etc yet still hopefully look the part..
