Here's a couple of pics of the Head unit at night. It matches the dials perfect. (Pictures let it down a bit because of the glow but gives you an idea)

Nice modifications you have done. Will probably be doing the aerial, TT pedals and colour coding the background of the rear badge.

Thanks mate.

Haven't spent too much though, especially compared to some on here. Just a lot of minor mods/rerplacements. If you slowly do them 1 at a time should't damage the bank account too much!
Kept it so that none affect my insurance especially as I haven't altered the engine, to save even more.

Here's just a couple of pictures showing how the car looks at present. Now without the angel eyes, but keeping the black badge, which was bought from Si_GTi.

Black badge looks good amte. I don't agree with the red drums though,.

Looking good Lawrence. I contemplated doing my drums red, but then decided id rather hide the fact that they are drums, not disks

(on the old one of course)

I didn't want to make them stand out but wanted red calipers at the front. Thought it would look odd being different. Suppose I could paint the drum black but leave the calipers red. What do you think?

Just picked up some rear LED hella's.

In the process of converting them to RHD.

I'd go with the black drum idea

i did my from calipers blue and did my drums blue.

I soon realised i didnt like the drums blue at all, so ive got some black paint, just need to get round to painting them.

oh any suggestions how to remove the old paint from the drums, its really thick and tough!

Paint stripper or get sanding!!

lolhoward · Post by **lolhoward** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 3:14 pm

I'm gonna buy some black paint then, but just do a couple of coats over the red once its been cleaned up.

Gonna wait til the weather sorts it self out though.
