Definitely looks better with the bonnet and this bumper combo, looking forward to seeing it back like this at a few shows this year. Nice job on the wheels too!

chris260 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I must've saved them years ago! Might have some more on my hard drive, i'll have a look. Linz said the manhours that went in to the debadged GTI grill on her car were immense and that the bloke who did it wouldn't ever do another so i can't imagine it was a very fun job! It looks factory on her car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_ Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just trial fit all the parts of your wheels first and clean up any excess powdercoat before hitting them with sealant to makesure they fit together ok.Then run a small bead of sealant (I used clear building stuff) around the little groove in the back of center star then do the same forthe front and sandwich them all together, torque all the bolts up in a star pattern then run a bead round the gap where all 3 parts meet.Let that dry for a day before adding another. I used just under a full tube of silicone so you don't need that much really. If you have any questions just drop us a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
