Damn, looking real good there...

Things I've noticed:

- You have no rubbingstrips! (Respray.... ouch!)
- Wheels look nice, suit the car well
- No rear wiper - isn't that a pain in the rear?

I wish I had a camera!

as for the wheels they are OZ tucano`s in 15x7 but i might change before too long to a 15x6.5 cos the rubbing sounds are a little harsh when you go 70mm in front and 60 in the back. the rears only rub when you are loosing the back end though so im not that woried

and uyep i do have a rear wiper i just quickly colour coded it but its flaking
a quick q for you what do you think of the quality of the shots and did the videos work :?:


::EDIT:: if you look on the first pic you can just make out the sweep of the rear wiper

yeah no prob its just a mattig grill spoiler that is really badly colourmatched at the mo pics in about 5 min
i think i might blend it before to long of possibly do a metal replica cos the salesman at vw tried to shut my bonnet with the grill spoiler and as it made a spapping niose, i desided that i didnt ever want to hear it again

::EDIT:: pics are here just went and snapped some

About the Mattig badlook, does it comes with a TUV homologation?

My freind is putting one on his golf IV and I think I'll do the same but fixed and completly moulded on the hood...

yep its fully tuv`d iirc but requires prming and painting and also to fit it you have to figur somthing out; for a while i had it trapped in place but when ever you pull the bonnet release it falls on the floor (doh) so there were 2 choises; double sided tape or ( i used this) 2x self tappers but you need to drill the fiberglass and the bonnet to fit theese so make sure you dont push too hard or you will get anti-dents in your bonnet

well if you cant get one then i can get u one in annecy (74) and if the authorities dont like it then velcro it on (castorama sells some strong velcro) and if you wanna see it in person then have a day trip to the haute savoir and see it for your self
