Looks nice and clean mate, think tinting the side repeaters would add to the look and a debadge aswell with black Vw badges. Be well nice....
Re: Tom's 6N2 GTI Progress Thread
Yeah been thinking about that as the next thing I do!Trottagti wrote:think tinting the side repeaters would add to the look

Looking good mate lets hope we get some summer weather now
Re: Tom's 6N2 GTI Progress Thread
The photo's look a bit rubbish to be fair, the wheels are soooo much shinier in reality!
Well it looks as if we're going to get at least a week of really hot weather!

I would just do it on the car mate i think you may have to drop the inner wings and do it that way. Not 100% sure.
Re: Tom's 6N2 GTI Progress Thread
They push to one side and they'll pop out mate there not that difficult just hardest part is figuring out which way they go lol
Re: Tom's 6N2 GTI Progress Thread
Got one out yesterday
Re: Tom's 6N2 GTI Thread - Brakes
I've been trying to figure out for a while now why my rear wheels seem to be picking up more brake dust (more than twice as much) as my front wheels and tonight I think I've found out why.
When I'm driving slowly I can hear a metallic rubbing noise which sounds like the brake pads rubbing on the disks. I'm guessing this is what is causing the excess dust.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem before or know what the issue could be and how I'd go about getting it sorted?

Had a little clean today and thought I'd add in a bit of red for a small change.
