NO NO NO NO NO….
LED's don't suit it IMO.
They do look subtle once you see them for real bruv…complements the colour of the car

Fitted up me new rims today…they do remind me of the Zender wheels that were fitted to some GTI engineering cars in the early days…although not the same but similar
The off set is quite deep so me tyres are now slightly stretched…looks so much better filling the rear arches

Coming together nicely now mate.
I got to take the front part of my carpet out one day to make it fit more snug.
Whats the stuff you got the black trim?
Your keeping me in suspense :-)

Ok…time for an update….not done anything since the winter came along last year
I have refrained from ordering a new outer hood for the last few months as I have been on the look out for a power hood " frame"
Almost gave up hope of finding one…was about to order a new hood last friday morning…but found a power hood frame on flea bay last thursday night…biding due to end last night…
I sourced the rams…pipes and hydraulic motor several months ago as these items had been sold prior to my ownership of my golf….the bloody frame went too!…
Anyways…took a chance to remove the manual hood yesturday afternoon
The replacement frame was listed on flea bay due to end 8.30 last night…located in Melton Mowbray a good 3.30 hour drive away…….thought sod it jumped in the car yesturday afternoon and off I went..
Got to the blokes lock up about 7 ish…..told me it was a fabric hood but it is vinyl ….not best happy about that one……………….but the hood frame was complete even down to the hydraulic motor…pipes and rams!!!……………fully working too!!!!……..do'nt need these so they will be back on flea bay in the week….should cover the cost of the frame and fuel :wink:
Anyways spent the morning fitting the frame
Then spent all afternoon cleaning it
Half Cleaned to show you the difference
Finished
Still got the inner head linning to do….think I'll call it a day and wash the kitchen bowl as it's stinking………….before the misses gets home :roll:
