I've got some headlamp protectors to go on but I'm having a bit of a 'mare getting the tiny little clips fitted on the bottom of each protector :lol:

Looking good Ben, what kinda wheels will you be looking for do you think?

Very nice mate, round our area you need those headlight protectors, never know whats going to flick up at them!
vw did good job by the looks of things, get the side strips done now!
looks really smart ! Suppose you will wait till tyres need replacing etc before changing wheels!

yeah they are abit tricky to bet in the right place, sitting flush to the lights, but with patience and slight bending of the clips it fits a treat.
wheelwise im looking for something euro and deep-dished but anything like the gti design in 16 inch would be nice.

yup :) nice bloke he his, and as a bonus he threw in his german plates which i have yet used, although he said he had them on his car for ages and the cops never noticed!

cheers mate, thanks for getting that done for me! although i might be needing another one soon as i have a front windscren to replace after my slight accident with a fallen down tree :(

too right! are they ever gonna cut the grass alongside the lanes? getting ridiculous now. yeah keith did a great job as usual and didnt over charge for a change! the side-strips will be done soon but i have to buy all new mouldings as the ones i have are textured :( and cant be painted that well.
Think thats covered everything!
blimey a post nearly as long as tahrey's :lol:

cheers

When you say side strips do you mean sideskirts? I'm after some myself as you've probably noticed. Any thoughts on which ones to get
