Amar Akoya's A3 build (panoramic roof retrofit)

IMG-20120314-00046.jpg


My new steering wheel :hubbahubba:
 
gutted for both of you lads after the effort you put into your cars, funnily enough six months back someone reversed into my front bumper with a tow bar then a few weeks later someone into the wing of my car, i mean *** why do we bother?
 
******! That's a nasty bit of damage he's done there... Add me to the we hate dodgy bus drivers list... Black cabs are no better down here, but that's another story altogether.

I hope you get it all sorted to your satisfaction, the work on the pana roof is epic and probably the most ballsy mod I've ever seen..... For a sec thereI actually thought about trying it!:slapped: lol!

I tell you what that is legendary, crazy, running in slow motion through a hail of bullets courageousness.

I've been dithering over doing an ashtray delete while you've been bending metal to your will with your bare hands.

I feel like I'm your ***** just by looking at this thread.

You must get get blokes going gay just by walking past them, and women must take their knickers off just at the thought of you leaving the house.
 

cant view it even tho iv sigined up..

Nice and shiney, anyone can recomend and good polish and wax so i can protect the paint and make it shine more :p.
 
I'm half expecting the next update on this car to be "I've decided to replace the floor with a facelift 8P one".
 
Get your pics out, get your pics out... get your pics out for the lads!

haha all in good time bro :D let me get it back and get few bits and bats touched up and then wheels :p, couloured coded tints worked out quite cheap :D.

Nice facelift on its way :)

you got a sharp eye to spot the missing indicators, no facelift yet hardly got to show of your old bumper, but ayee summer goin to be good this year! pan roof new mods cant wait :p
 
facelift woo, i have pmed marc for you and youre account is up and running no idea why it wasnt working but nvm you better get reading for the facelift
 
wooo hooo am on it now :D

yeap goin to start buying my parts soon looking to do this next after i get bored of the 8p2 front.
 
Just shout if you need a hand hopefully nige and nate will have eventually done thiers too ;)
 
lol, i will do defo, but i think i would leave the wings and bumper to last need to decide weather to go for the s3 or rs3 front, but long time away yet goin to think about that end of this year.. :icon_thumright:
 
oh and on the wax front probably the best you can do is store the car inside for 2 weeks for cure and settling, then id recommend 2 coats of neilson liquid gold or an equivelant followed by 2 coats of autoglym hi definition wax.
 
haha cant wait feel free to drop me preview pics im always interested i did you a good price on that if i recall was quite a while back now too
 
yeap think about 2 years ago if i rember right lol been ages, felt like yday, yes indeed was a v.good price and now there like double the price
 
You sure that roof hasn't blown off in this terrible weather we been having Amar :whistle2: I'm not sure Araldite will definitely hold it man:think: Lmao! Just kidding bro....

But hey, where's those :sign_pics:
