haha cheers mate, my rear badge was the same before some pikey gayner decided to half inch it! I'm thinking black surround like the whole pacman surround bit and the centre bit yellow duno yet will have a go on photochop and see which one i prefer :p

cheers guys, and what an arse fitting them fogs was! the whole front bumper had to come off! finally got that off and i found rust on the slam panel.. and I'm sure if you have read this thread you will understand what I'm like when it comes to rust haha! so i spent an hour sanding the whole front slam panel and painting it hammerite satin black it wont go rusty again haha!!

just gota go get some wiring bits and ma GTI splitter and i will be preety happy with the front

thanks for all the nice comments people :-D 8-)

wow, come do mine :lol:

looks wicked mate, the badge reminds me of pacman lol

what did you paint the drums on the back with, i need to do mine??

do you use daz on your car?? lol, tis uber white!!! hehe 8-)

and pacman badge is soooooo coooool!!!

What did you use on the arches mate? looks spot on. Have you got a Machine polisher like the Meguiars G220? Thats the next stage for them wheelarches and the rest of the paint ;)

I'm going to be doing this to my polo within the next couple of months. I detail cars for friends and family so its only right that i raise the benchmark on what i can do, on my own car.

mmmmm fogs look sweet, you know what i think of the car man, perfect :thumbsup:

just elbow grease and meguires shampoo, i scrubbed them with a nail brush and chopped down paint brush (so its stiffer than a std one) and as above really, no machines just elbow grease and good ol' megs :p :-D gna do something about them arches I'm still not overly happy with them :-(

cheers for the nice comments everyone :p

youv'e done a mint job on that dude!

POLOMON, Get yourself over to www.detailingworld.co.uk, car cleaning forum, full of ocd nuts like yourself, there'll be plenty of tips and advice on how to get the best finish possible. Few guys prepare concours cars too.

cheers mate, I'm already on there lol I'm go on dads account haha i get annoyed when i go on there though cz i see all there clean cars and think grrr i wish mine was like that but i never actually do anything to make them like that! :lol: cheers mate :thumbsup:

haha yeah i do find it hard now to find the motivation to do that to mine. I need to buy a machine polisher before i go mad with the car, but everything takes ages to do, so finding the get up and go factor is hard. but i will do it, and i will outshine yours. well we'll see anyway :p

oh i knew ther was something i had forgot... :ninja: i know there not on my car but they are the same arches so therefore will be the same stance ;) edge to edge 8" and 15" diameter 2" of lip :p
