ill get another one soon! need to find out why its running so rich though

car looks wicked dude :D

very nice mate! best colour ;) i had those rear light. iirc u can remove the red filter for the fog and then makes the rear look smart but it is a pain of a job to do. id do little touches like de wiper. keep up the good work.

what other plans you got?

  • Author

not sure mate. got ZERO monies left. i was thinking de-wiper. looks easy enough to do. duno what to use to fill the hole though? i seen someone used their cigarette lighter, that was cool : )

Probably get some stickers for the back windows. I'm gonna get some number plate surrounds. seen some ncie ones on dubmesiter, also a friend of mine said dubmeister sell road legal press plates? ill get some press plates if they're road legal. i dont want any otherwise though.

Personally think stickering up the rear will ruin the nice clean smoothness of this car, and about the wiper blank, you can easy use like a 22mm gromet or something similar or even just smooth it, its easy :)

lovely 6n green is totally the way to go wish they made 6n2's this colour :p

what a difference some hot wheels, lows and fresh paint can make.

love it!

colour code is (I THINK) PK6M

VW called it bright green. hardly bright though?

i got my whole car prepped and painted for £560 on a hobble from a friend

its not what you know, its who you know!

Fair play rhys, fresh paint and a good polish has completely changed this car!

Nice paint! Deffo get rid of the rear wiper though...

PK6M? Thats weird... This is exactly the same colour as mine, I know VW call it 'Bright Green' but still, this looks sick :D

awesome 6n mate looks ace, what window tint you use?

yeah, he painted it, then flatted it back so it was dull, and then polished it back up. i always grin when i see it now :D

i didnt do the tints myself, another friend who owns his own window tinting company, tintedvision.co.uk did it for me

Looking good, needs to go a bit lower on the front though IMO.

To smooth the wiper plate thing, what I did was stick a coin in there, 10p iirc, with some superglue, then filler on top of that. Smooth it back and a quick coat of black. Didn't crack in the time I had it on there and took about an hour to do including waiting for stuff to dry.

i want to lower the front more. only a tad more, but to do so id have to remove the helper spring, and i dont really wanna sacrifice the amazing roundabout abilities..

Had no helpers in mine, felt exactly the same when I took them out really.

The helper spring is completely compressed when the car is low anyway, so it won't make much difference at all.
