I saw them in white on a Polo shortly before i bought them. Didnt like them tbh, white didnt seem to suit them.
I think im going to leave them silver simply because it makes a change from white on white

I cant see shit with my LHD FK's in the dark. So put my standard velo's in for winter anyways, then one of my bulbs has gone so decided i would also get some new bulbs to go in when i swap headlights over

Cant wait for them to arrive, i keep driving round with sidelights on when its dark because i find it really embarrassing having a light that doesnt work

These are by no means a year long plan, they are long term in every sense of the word.

But here goes:
Tidy up paint work - clean it, polish it, sort out a few dings and bits and bobs Done, polished up and clayed etc
Exhaust Done
Debadged boot Done
c/c book lock with griffin painted black - not sure how it will turn out yet though Done, turned out great imo
Grommet or Punto wiper - not decided yet as there is a bit of rust around the wiper hole Grommet done, need to sort rust out
CS stickers - at home Done
Tigra scuttle panel Done
GSI replica skirts Done
c/c handles with passenger delocked Done
My white CDX alloys Done, G60 winter wheels
Smoked lights all round Done
Debadged grille Done
Lowered -35mm on eibach springs - hopefully 60mm on coilovers soon after Coilovers
Black roof rails - already done on V947
Pug aerial Done
V947's interior Done
Gloss black bumper tops, arch trims and skirts
2L brake set up + braided hoses Done
Front and rear strut brace Front done
Rear ARB Done
BMC induction
Powerbox/Mantzel inlet of some
Plain plates - 3/4 front Done

Then i am tempting the idea of a black roof



Not too bad so far

Little update -



Pics of my car mats - was going to get some decent ones, but thought better of it seeing as though its winter and they would jsut get wrecked, so ill wait till summer time again. These were only 6 quid so you know



VeeTwo hit a milestone whilst i was away in Preston -


And she is now looking a bit dirty and waiting for that TLC she deserves after recently driving so far in so little time




Marc.
