Arived ok then :)

Mine came with a roof rack when I bought it and it had ruined the roof with scratches and knackered the (practically irreplaceable) chrome roof trim. Please be careful with it! :)

where did it scratch the roof? and dont worry I've been very careful making sure its fitted correctly in the gutters :)

It was badly fitted by the previous owner, I think one of the 4 brackets to hold it on was missing or not tightened up. Anyway it was resting against the metal that is at the edge of the roof (between the roof itself and the gutter trim) and put loads of scratches in it.

oh right i understand. mine is fitted properly and securely so should all be ok

update/guide in 5mins

right guys decided i was going to tint my headlights and thought while I'm at it might aswell put a little guide together.

Tools;

scalpel

old card bank, credit or casino in my case

spary bottle(water and a little washing up liquid)

missus' hairdryer or a heat gun

and rag/towel

not the manliest set of tools ever but hey ho

first cut your film to the general size of the light

next you want to spray the lights and wipe all the dirt of ensuring that the surface is clean.

now for the hard bit take the backing sheet of the film(trust me its a b stard)

give the light a good spray and spray the sticky bit of the film.

place the film onto the headlight.

now using the hairdryer/heat gun use your card to move all the moisture from underneath the film, starting for the middle working your way to the edges.

now it should look like this

no bubbles or creases is how you want it.

now carefully trim your film to the headlight it will fold over the straight edges but will be trickier on the curves but you'll work it out.

so it should now look like this no bubbles or creases and neatly fitted to the headlight

repeat the above for the other side and i would recommend to leave it to dry properly for about an hour before driving.

final results

thanks for looking

and as for wheel

i got these picked up for me today they are 14" golf mk3 steels and they are the same as g60's just an inch smaller. I'm thinking of gettin them banded another 1" or maybe 2" on the rears but I'm not paying bandedsteels.com £345 to do it :p I've nee quoted £240 from a guy off ebay who is based in liverpool but I'm hoping to find a company a bit more local.

anyway the wheels

need to get them balloon tyres off so i can trial fit them

and just a pic for good measure taken earlier today

thanks for looking

Where you planning on putting the fogs fella?

little update used the roof rack for the 1st time today to get some suitcase's from my mums. i think it looked awesome the missus on the other hand called me a knob haha

Dan

Where you planning on putting the fogs fella?

same not too sure on the stickers but the yellow lights and roof rack look sick

cheers for the feedback lads i really like the stickers just summet a little different.

as for the fogs 01mlacey i dont know wether to put just the 1 on the front bumper or put them both on?

also dont know what to do on the wheels front thinkin of selling the 14" steels and saving up for some ats but i cant make my mind up

Dan

i personaly would get rid of the 14''s and go for some 13''s like ats classics or alley cats etc but its does look mega retro as it is on standard steels.

looks lovely mate :)

Where you get the fogs from? Been toying with the idea for some for mine...

Defo use both fogs dan

as for wheels please dont get ats classics most common wheels out there

so are banned steals but a think the loon would pull them off very nice

13s too

fogs were off ebay they are chrome backed but slightly rusted look really good will have a go at fitting them soon as for wheels I'm all over the shop cant make my mind up. think its either gunna be the 14's banded or some alley cats
