Arosaproject Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 oh and if u can see the carbon pattern in different directions its because i used loads of offcuts to see what it looked like, ill be wrapping in one lump when i get some moreOnly noticed as you said, looking smart tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Grille looks good but what really grabs me is the job you've done on the polishing - bumper looks like it's brand new!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSloanes Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Cheers man the bumper wasnt too bad i suppose, it was mainly tar and surface contaminants. Forgot to take a pic of the clay bar after the front bumper but it was completely full of grit and stuff. But yeah its came out nice. Only thing im not happy with is the chipped paint on back bumper (was there when i got the car) and the stone chips on the bonnet but tbh its a 11 yr old car and the paint is fairly spot on now. Just needs another full detail (inside as well this time) before VW Fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSloanes Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Okay so saturday im picking my new wheels up and for all u scene queens they are Lenso's... purely because they will help stance the car better basically. They are 16x7.5 et25 with 195/45/16 tyres. Currently they are black with polished lip which ill run for a while but im debating gold centres as i have never been a fan of black wheels:couple of photoshops:As they will look now:If i paint them gold:what u lot think colour wise? not fussed what u think about getting Lenso's as im getting them anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I actually prefer the black pic to the gold! I too am not a fan of black wheels, but with a polished lip the contrast is nice.The black at least ties in with the rub strips and bumpers.The gold just looks a little too "ordinary" to me. Gold? From the man that gave us bright orange?! Maybe I was expecting more from you Chris Edited July 25, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSloanes Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah me too, black does look better "/ hahaha I know but it's a red car... Nothing works with a red car lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arosaproject Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 What about a bit of purple? Gun metal Gray? Or maybe red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSloanes Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 They all been done before, I like to try something new. I'll come up with something over the winter when I'm in winter mode and probably run them black until then, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like to TRY to be a bit different as well although its hard with the amount of stuff people have already done! One of the main things i have done tho is i got £1,500 compensation and i have done everything to all of the cars using that money. Never had to dip into wages etc really, maybe for a couple of bits. Keeps me on a budget then and stops me running wild lol! Cant justify spending silly money on my car when i got a little'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
