So with the savage weather we had over the weekend I thought it was a good time to get a few bits done to the car over the weekend.
Dubshed, the first VAG show in Ireland is in two weeks in Belfast so want to get the car ready for that.
First up was respraying my callipers. Only ended up getting the fronts done but most attention is normally on the front so I'll get the rears done eventually in the next few weeks. Was going to go with an out there colour like yellow or red but I've done yellow on my last MK5 GTI and it turned out great but just went with gloss black for now just to clean it up a bit. I'll go for a brighter colour when I look at a BBK. Here's some pics of the how it turned out.
Can't see it too well behind the CH's but you will when they're behind the speedlines! Speaking of speedlines, had a busy day getting them split and polished up prior to getting the faces painted. After I got the faces split I brought them up to a friends workshop where we used a buffing wheel and a drill and went at it with the lips, in the end they came out fantastic, much better than what I expected and didn't take too long either considering I originally done them by hand!!
Just waiting on confirmation now to drop the faces up to be powdercoated, should hopefully be this week.
Also the car is booked in this Friday to get the chrome trims around the windows, chrome trim at the bottom of the boot lid and the door blades all wrapped black so really looking forward to that! Also have a sticker or two to add to the car to attract a little bit of attention at the show so very excited to get everything on before the show.
Will update more once mores done
