Yeah I know what you guys mean, I had always been toying with the idea though to complete the whole black/red theme of the car, so I decided to stop pussying around and just got it done, I think it's going to take a little to get use to it.

The car is so almost finished now, this was one of the last things I wanted to do.

I need to lower it back down and get some proper photos of it, the rear end looks so clean now with the boot sprayed

Is it matt?

Gloss, its just really swirly in that photo because I only just got it home and it still had polish on it

This photo is crappy but shows the fogs in.

Just checked this out in Tescos car park after chatting to you about it, looks sweet wheels have really grown on me, the whole thing just looks perfect to me. May get you to do a few cheeky photos of mine with yours at the end of the month when mine is actually half decent looking :p

I wouldn't do mirrors/handles black man.

Smooth front bumper, top vents and plate recess?

Want some stubby mirrors?

Really like with the roof & pillars done black

Where did you get your headlights ?

Yeah we can do that once yours is low and sitting on some pretty wheelz

Not really bothered about the bumper, I think I want the mirrors black though, it looks a little odd looking straight at it with the black roof and two red mirrors sticking out the side.

Might have your stubbys, I'll let you know :)

Thanks man.

Got them from the german FK site

Love it! Was thinking about a black roof if the dents don't pop out and need repairing on mine. Ties in well with the black pillars.

yours will never be half decent looking ben lol.

pretty swish car though rich, you going dc?

Black Mirrors and roof would suit well together I reckon mate.

Also keep the 16v bumper as it is, the smoothed ones look silly

Yeah I'm defiantly leaving the bumper, just need to decide on mirrors!

was board so did a quick Photoshop so u can see roughly how it will look

Rich, you still after a front fog switch mate?

I actually have one in the post!

I'll have your fog loom off you though :)

Cheers for the pic Dolyer, looks sweet

I'm not sure the loom is usable mate; I can't seem to find much of it, it definitely ripped the fogs and plugs off :/

Awesome :)

Have you got a mk5 windscreen aswell?

Ah that's shit Harris :(

Cheers Steve!

I didn't think I did, I had a new one fitted last year.

Does it look different?

Sweet!

Gutted, looked much better with the red roof, I like the pillars though, otherwise nice motor, great effort

Thanks :)

Sorry to disappoint though, I know it's not to everyone's taste.

It already has black pillars you fool, I just need to paint the mirrors myself but I bet they will look crap compared to the roof

Got a few little bits left to fit, need to sort out the headlights and get the fogs working.

Then just got the arches and a few bits of paint to sort and get it notched...then I think that's it! :)

Oh I see :) Yeah I'm so glad I had the pillars done too.

I've tried the debadged grill back in, don't think I'm a fan though so I will be swapping it back to the badged one.

Also I made some yellow side repeaters, can't decide whether to run them or the normal orange ones though...
