yeah they just pulled off, but i recommend doing it either in a heated garage or summer, the adhesive is softer in summer!

took me about 3/4 hr

funnily enough it used to be my lass's car and she hated it! only thing i will say is it has too many exits! 3 doors rock!

i did all the work on it and have a set of G60 brakes to go on it at work that i was given by a friend with an S3 powered golf rallye, he has brembo's

welcome to the forum!!

nice, clean and simple, the way it should be done!
my girlfriend wants a set of those alloys for her 6n, but as her car is white, she wants the black spoked versions!

i think these would look nice and may well be for sale with brand new tyres on the front (avon zz3) and 2 months old on the rear (toyo proxes t1-s) they have been on the car for approx 3 months total and have NO marks or kerbing what so ever! pm on the way!

on a brighter note, i have just fitted my rear door handles (ebay rocks, 22 quid the pair!

) to the front doors, now just gotta colour code them

fabric came for the boot build but was not such a result, nowhere near stretchy enough!

still waiting for my voltmeter which will fit a treat in the big blank between the two window switches

measures just the right size to drop right between the two with a little plastic removal
