Looks tidy, just not into those indicators personally. Look a bit out of place imo.

hmm do you mean the fronts ...as i can see what you mean they are very clear compared to the lights do you think some difrent clear ones would be better ?

thanks jamie

Yeah the fronts. Either clear but not "crystal" or orange all round (personally I love the orange for it's OEM'nes).

Cheaper than changing more lights. Something about the aftermarket crystal lights, just look "tacky" imo.

Your car though.. just my opinion. Keep up the good work

thanks mate ...it will be soon dont you worry

Sorry got no recent updates for you guys weather hasnt been great and been concentrating on other things but will have some updates sortly

jamie

Just read through this post. Love the car. Here's me worrying about using a spray gun myself to sort out the wheel arch rust. Then again i'm more worried about colour matching.

It's gonna take some elbow grease to keep it looking that clean! haha.

Good luck!

where did you get the front indicators bro?

jamie

I got a hawk Kit on mine however I haven't got a clue what the lightning button or the mute looking button do lol

Also I've got a engine cover sitting in my garage if you're interested

Come to think of it it's only a 1.0 one, but if you're gonna smooth it anyway...

Edited 15 March, 201115 yr by adamburton93

I'm not a fan HIDs but they could suit this car? What with it being so white n all..

Looking good thoughh :)

as others said would complete it with some new headlights or even some different indercators?

hmm iv been thinking and need your opinions guys as I'm not sure ...

do i leave my number plate where it is with a fully smooth boot ?

or

do i put it back on the boot and put the orignal number plate lights back in ??

how it is at the mo

any help would be great

thanks

jamie

Leave the plate where it is, and good job on the rocker cover dude :)

Leave the plate where it is, maybe a 6n2 boot badge? Or a 6n2 gti bootlid spoiler might make it look less empty... and x2 on the rocker cover!

Leave the plate where it is

I think might look good if you put the "polo" lettering off a 6n2 on?
