Danyutz Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yes, with a paint brush - gets in "hard to get" areas easier. The color is a dark grey, for unknown reason, it looks brighter in the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Interesting, I think I'll spray mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Only thing i don't like it's that the color is a bit shiny for my taste, maybe it will lose it's shine once it dries out. I just went to the shop and bought 100ml of a dark gray paint ( didn't want black, as it was to shiny) and a 20mm brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyutz Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Also got this, received it this morning. 'tis the small details that matter.Edit: I've received the front flanges and rear shock protection, so I can say that the whole suspension is new.

Danyutz Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 "Lows" day has come! here's a before/after shot - crappy, i know. I'll take some proper shots. Road feedback has improved a lot, body roll has been reduced and it really is how i imagined, a good compromise between comfort and sport - i love how the car handles now.Next up, spacers.

mattarosa Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thats a lovely looking garage! Oh and the car looks lovely too. So what's this idea I've given you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Chrome bulbs for the turning signals - was looking at the front end and the orange ones don't fit.That's my work place service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 They say patience is a virtue, so it is! Finally managed to get a spoiler. Breaker dude was scared to remove it from the boot so i got the entire boot! - the one on the car is already rusted under the wiper. Believe it or not, sealed the deal for 40 quid. The spoiler is the smaller one available thru accessories brochure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyutz Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Thanks fellas, means a lot - I just did some math and since i bought the car exactly one year ago, i spent the same amount of money on maintenance and parts, of the initial purchase. Sorted out a pair of speakers for the back, tweeters included. Need to retrim the GTi cards, with tim-tom ( otherwise missus will kill me ) and do the install.Ordered the parts for oil change (other filters as well), as i did 10k km in one year.I'm still undecided what to do with the tailgate - i have 2, both rusted and i want to remove the glass, clean, paint and add the spoiler, but i don't know if i can fit the glass back..
