Some detailing work done this morning :) My near side arch liner came out at the rear, there Lupo GTi ones modified to fit and I think I made them too well as it snagged the bumper as it came out, it broke the clip on the wheel arch and ripped it off the screw on the underside, it also made the panel gap between the boot and bumper uneven..8354576834_34ce5ff4e9.jpgUntitled by Ralphoto!, on Flickr8354575014_a1ed283627.jpgUntitled by Ralphoto!, on FlickrOff it came to make repairs and see why it wasn't fitting correctly8354579110_deaafcd1ee.jpgUntitled by Ralphoto!, on Flickr8353510903_561383707b.jpgUntitled by Ralphoto!, on FlickrCouldn't help myself but clean up all that dirt behind the bumper!

Stunning! Just went through all 56 pages! Them new wheels are beaut, I'm not usually a fan of bigger wheels, but they look nice!

Regarding the boot build.. is it possible to fit an actual box in the boot? I don't mind not having any space. I want 2 10's. Possible?

Very nice car mate, once mine is in better shape I'll be coming to shows etc.

Vin :)

Quite some rim to cover!

Took us 45 minutes and x3 almost 4 man power, a lot of swearing and muttering to do one, then the second we found a man with a bead blaster and nailed the thing to the rim in 3 seconds :)

And a big massive Thankyou for this photo from a fellow OCD cleaner Craig Mahoney! Really like how it's sat, maybe tweak the front a little?
