i pressumed you would have to dip it into a chrome liquid which would then solidify and create that look??? i dont know why... but i thought it would have to deal with hot tempreatures so it would not be possible to do it yourself????
If im wrong??? very possible.... then... let me know what you have to do.... cos im defo doing that to my car!!!

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
And about the polishign, did it all myself, took me just couple of hours (around 4 to be exact). Clean it properly, then grind it down, starting from grid 240 up to about 1500, then start using a polishing kit (mines has 3 blocks and discs). And after some work you will have it lookin' like a mirror. And it aint that much or hard work though
It's an FK one, advantage is that it is adjustable in stifnessDee-vub wrote:Jarno, where did you get the polished rear stabiliser??

This afternoon I decided to start on refurbing my GTI's
This is how the rims looked like at the start
After some good cleaning for about 2 hours this was the result:
Much better ey?
then started the polishing of the rims/edges:
Shines like a mirror
Below the polished edge with the heart laid in, above the only washed edge:
Close-up:
2 done, 2 to go!

Thanx for the compliments m8 Dunno know exactly yet, but it's gonna be darker then now, thinking of some darkgreyish or dark purple-ish kind of colour.Biddle wrote:Looking good mate. I love your car, you mentioned before you may be giving it a colour change. Any colour in mind?
Or something screaming, copperbrown like, really haven't got q clue yet, but want something "original" that draws attention, but not in the negative way, if u understand what i mean

u understand me m8Biddle wrote:Yeah I no what you mean mate, you want something that goes with the styling of the car and people look at and think "very nice" not some colour which just makes it blend in with the crowd. Im sure whatever you chose it will look awesum.
But I need some help though, really can't seem 2 make up my mind 'bout some things:
-first of all I want to change the entire front, the bad-boy bonnet is commin' off, you can see the where the welding took place in sunlight, so back comes the original bonnet. But I want a new frontbumper with it, narrowed my choice down to two options:
1-the Lumma frontbumper:
(without all the crap on this picture, no red splitter, no headlightmask, just keep it clean and simple)
2-the DSP Audi S4-look frontbumper:
What to do!?!??! I want to get a more "oem/clean/refined" look, not to screaming anymore, away with the 2F2F-look, I really start gettin' annoyed by al those cops holding me over thinking I'm some streetracer anymore
And then the next problem: THE COLOUR!
Here's some colours I picked already:
Seat Delhired:
Seat Shadowgrey:
Toyota Ashgrey:
Toyota Aubergine Red:
(yes, I just love grey's and red's )
I'm open to ANY suggestions people, help the poor Dutch geezer out over here!
