Hi Guys,
Done a few mods this week. Finally got my VeeDub badge back in after being treated to a coat of gloss back by my younger bro who gets roped in on a regular basis! Well happy with how it looks with the lights. Had my cracked windscreen replaced at long last. I've also ditched the vag wipers in favour of a single wiper with a black smooth arm. Looks ok but needs some tinkering. Have had single wipers on my previous cars and have been really good but this one fits very poorly and overlaps the screen. Will have it all sorted this weekend though. Here's a few piccies:
Looking like someone stole the badge:
Back in at last:
Close up:
Dual wipers Yukkkk:
MMMMM Mono!!!!
Its ace when driving too. Like driving a merc or a jag just sweeps across fast for that finishing touch.
I now want to get my windows tinted but the problem is I have now read that you cannot have any tints to the drivers front and passenger front windows. I thought there was a limit of 70% transmission to these and then what ever you want on the back. I just wanted the 70% transmission all round as I don't like smoked fronts and black out rears like jap cack. Just want subtle smoke all round but looking like I won't bother as there is so much difference in the interpretation of the laws.
I am also toying with the Idea of ditching the door mouldings but not all together. To keep the look of the car I am possibly going to get the door handles done gloss black and fit a set of mk5 6n2 gloss black mouldings too. What do you rekon? Don't wan't none as I like the protection from damn door bashers
. Think it'll be done when I tidy up the little dings here and there. I want to keep them coz I think it works well with the theme I've gone for. It'd look odd without to me.
