cars up and running again which is awesome, now i just have a very close deadline to get all my **** together for GAD.

hopefully it will be all good, super keen for it!

[anthony--t]

Good to hear! You got loads of time before gad dude!

[Surfpig]

A crappy photo to keep this thread a little bit entertaining

[anthony--t]

Small bumper prep?

Or just cutting the lip for wheel clearance?

[Surfpig]

well, its kinda a cheating photo.

this was when i was installing my coils and cutting mounts for the plastic fenders so i could smash and roll my guards.

i was gonna save photo's and **** till after GAD but i don't think ill be making it anymore due to work, blows but ill be driving the thing down to DOVW!

well started swapping all the **** over yesterday, everything came off really easy.
found out that i am some kind of a special person because when i ordered all the parts i only ordered one blinker and one bumper clip (meant to have 4 )

here's some really high quality phone pics

one last shot of it being a big girl



then stripped it all down, its funny how much smaller the whole car looks with no bumpers or flares.





did a quick mock up of the rear bumper, super happy with the red stripe bumpers. decided to go with them as its a GTI and im losing the red stipe front grill. so it should tie in nicely



and here's a little teaser photo for the internets...

Small bumper conversion nice.

The internets wants moar!

[Surfpig]

well i woke up this morning with a nice little surprise,
got the rest of the gear for the conversion!



im thinking for now im just gonna plastidip the front valance, as its supposed to have a rough finish and i don't wanna pay someone to paint it. or leave it black.

also made a phone call this morning to a local tyre shop and just asked if they could stretch my tyres on, told them the sizes and he said its gonna be a struggle but they can do it.
the front is mild but the rear should be nice

Bought the wrong tyre... They won't stretch nicely. Glad to be proven wrong but the shoulder just rounds over
