hahaha thats so funny

Yeah gone through plenty of fuel It's so quick!

I used about 3 tanks in my first week of owning mine

Spent another day cleaning bits and pieces on the GTI Filled up for the first time today aswell

Gave the car a polish and wax this morning, shiny



I've decided i'm not going to do any carbon in the GTI. Keeping it clean, simple and fresh

Me and my bro have got a custom sticker coming, which is going to look uber cool Not giving it away yet though

Well tomorrow I am going to attempt to carbon my front splitter whilst on the car The paint finish isn't brilliant on it, so thought I would carbon it

Will upload a pic of it tomorrow when done

Look forward to seeing how it looks greg, would like to do something with my splitter ( either coloured coded to the car or carbon)

Just spent 2 hours carboning my splitter Very pleased with the outcome! Was very tricky bending it around the curves. I believe no one has done this before



Comments welcome

I'm not a fan of carbon, but I've gotta say, that looks really really good!
Did you really do it whilst on the car? Really good job! Looks perfect!

Thanks Verity Yeah i did, was so tricky making sure the patterned stayed straight!

I'm sold did you use one piece for the whole thing? what was the technique Greg?

Haha I used 3 sections, and carefully joined them together, you wouldnt know You have to stretch it keeping the pattern straight. It's very easy stuff to work with

Looking goooooood! Nice touch.

Sure I seen somewhere that you covered it in red vinyl though?

Looks really good mate, your getting bit of a pro at this now lol

Thanks Emma I had another splitter which I red vinyled, but when i held it up against the car, the shade of red was completely different so would have looked stupid. So leaving the splitter on the car thats on there now, i decided to carbon it I'm glad i didn't use the red now
