Thanks mate..

Heres the 2013 grill look, may take it down a shade or two yet, and maybe black out the badge to mach the rear. http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x447/bitofananimal/SS852012_zpsca676bce.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x447/bitofananimal/SS852014_zps9a6447a1.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com...

well firstly, i like the matt black badge on a black car for the stealth look, i think red would look too chavy. the grill is basically a standard chrome one sprayed gloss black and some self adhesive red piping stuck on to give the gti look, it can be bought from ebay for pence, since then though i...

I quite like mine for many of the already said reasons but black is a bitch of a colour to keep tidy= 7/10

Just a little update, decided to debadge the rear and black out the VW emblem

mmm...thought as much, oh well cheers anyway guys.

I have a enclosed cone filter lying around in the garage and just wondered if it would make any difference to my b6 tdi either in terms of performance/induction noise or not. I think they call them VTDA or summat like that ???

WD 40 will work but it dries out quicker than the silicone, but i can get WD from work. so i dont mind spraying them as often as is needed..!!

Cheers for the comments guys, much appreciated. 2K is fairly easy, obviously its all in the prep as its always been but unlike cellulose it dose'nt bloom and if you get the clear coat on with no orange peel will not need much buffing either.

No mate, they were factory fitted on the X14 model, not a very clear pic but you can just make them out. Think they used to also call them "spats".

Thats all that came with the kit mate, what bump stops?? i took the shrouds off the rear shocks and fit them on the new ones though. the rear adjuster does bolt up through the arm with the bolt and big washer as you say.

mine was a 1972 Vauxhall Viva HC 2 door, was the x14 model with metalic paint, chrome plates on the bottom of the rear arches and rostyle wheels as std cost me £97 to insure it at 18 yrs old, circa 1983..!!

No mate i used a lvlp spray gun and a 50litre compressor, 2k base and 2k clear thinner and activator, 3M respirator etc. It would have cost a fortune in mixed up rattle cans and you would'nt get enough volume on the bonnet either or the desired finish, they are ok for painting a small repaired area ...
