And I have been thinking about doing my bbs centre nuts in black. Don't really want to paint them. Seems like a crime since they are polished.
Thought about buying some if that plasti dip but i want them shinny really. Vinyl wrap plausible?

Photoshoped some pics to get an idea. What do people think?

I think the black caps look great. Really plays off of the black body trim and the red gti badges on the side.

[LukeyBabes]

Thanks. I will take them to a vinyl wrapping place tomorrow and see if they can do them. If not I will buy some more caps to do it to.

[Minuki]

Do prefer them polished!

[LukeyBabes]

I'm not sure if I just want to change it for the sake of changing it. Obviously I still like the polished. But I do like the black too.

Went outside this morning just to have a look to see how I was going to get the air con condenser out. I thought I will just take the grill off to have a better look. Then I ended up taking apart the front end and changing it while waiting for my brother to come round. lol. I love doing things like this while waiting on people. And then using it against them. lol

That digi-dash looks amazing. Great work on the car

[LukeyBabes]

Thanks man.

Went and picked up some Audi 80 electric window mechs to replace my motors. They aren't the same regulators but the motors are the same so I swapped the motors onto the mk2 regulators.

Audi regulators



Comparison. Mk2 left, Audi right



Swapped, And now I just realised i put the cable in the wrong outlet. Will have to change that tomorrow.



Had to swap the electrical connector over



Also the butyl tape stuff I used to do the vapour barrier is great. Why would anyone use silicon?



Managed to get the drivers side in before it went dark. And I thought I would shoot some waxoyl in there while I had the vapour barrier back off.
Going to go buy some yacht varnish and do the back of the door cards tomorrow too, before they go back on.
The vinyl part at the top had peeled off with taking the door card on and off a few times this week so out came the glue and pegs lol

Immaculate Mark II example! This model Golf still rocks the best for me.

Nothing out of the box, but subbed to see if you would in time.

[LukeyBabes]

Lol nah nothing out of the box will be happening. I like inside the box

Spent all day basically cleaning the car today. Very happy with the results though. Gave the interior another wet vax treatment as the recaros were looking a bit dirty.
And I got my RS's fitted
Didnt wind the coilovers down as much as last year. Only went down about 20mm. Maybe will still be able to drive it properly now. And be a bit more comfortable than last year too.





I tried one of the rear wheels on the front while I was at it. Because I thinking about getting some 1.5 inch dishes for the rears and swapping the 1 inch ones to the front wheels. I would probably take the extra width off of the adaptors to keep the same fitment though.



Or maybe get some 1 inch for the front and have them all round? Hmmm




I will probably have a lot of photos for you lot tomorrow. Going to castle combe spring action day. Will see you there if you are going.

Get the dish, please, leave the wheels alone and just add dish

[Minuki]

DIsh is always good, my friend has quite a lip on his RS's and it looks awesome.

[LukeyBabes]

Maybe. We will see. Wouldn't mind getting some bmw ones redrilled that have 2 and 2.5 inch dishes. All expensive options though.
