Kent Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Looks brill, only thing I'd do myself is trim the rear headrests down so they sit flush.. but apart from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Looks brill, only thing I'd do myself is trim the rear headrests down so they sit flush.. but apart from that You read my mind. We mocked them up before we had them trimmed but were undecided so left them - they made the seat look a lot fatter. Now they're all in though I wouldnt mind trying it again as the metal bars of the headrests look a little out of place.Also forgot to mention we fitted a new Polo Gti handbrake cover...

Huw Pugh Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Here's a better pic of the handbrake and gaitor.Then today I got on with the pre-Ultimate Dubs detail. I took the week off to make sure I had plenty of time to detail the car with no last minute rush, but we've been so busy all week it's meant a last minute rush again and not enough time to do all the things I wanted.There was some light swirling in the paint so after a quick wash, i got stuck in with a 4" spot pad and some Menzerna.front wing...Passenger door...

patroddy Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 that paint work is lush love the amount of work youve done on this its just amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Just a small update. We lost a centre cap on the way up to Ultimate Dubs so a new one arrived this week. Annoyingly it arrived the day after we wanted - Gti Festival.And while at Gti Spring Fest, we came away with a Top20 trophy.Hoping a few more new bits will arrive tomorrow then its off to the paint shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Pugh Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Ordered some new induction pipes last week as we've just been using some flexi hose which does the job but doesn't look the greatest. After a trial fit, we packed it up and dropped it in for paint along with some bottle caps and some engine brackets which were looking a little rusty.The brackets all painted...The induction pipe and new black bottle caps fitted...We had to trim part of the engine cover side to accomodate the pipework, but nothing major...And while I was stripping bits from the engine bay I decided to whip the heatshield out and polish it up. It's a bit of an improvement but its still looking a bit tired so probably going to buy a new one at some point and polish that insteadBefore...After...

Huw Pugh Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks guys. Really wasn't sure on the wheels when we first fitted them but loooove them now. Just cant decided whether to keep them at the end of the season or build something a little more special we have tucked in the garage. :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
