I actually like the look of your door handles

What splitter you got on it mate, looks nicee! :slayer:

looks awsome, got a very 'german' look about it with the grey colour and standout rims with bits of black it looks very classy

theres something about your car which makes it look so different and cant put a finger on what.

Maybe the ride height i like most, or the colour. I dont know

Thanks

thanks mate, I am considering black wing mirrors now too and possibly a wheel change in the near future

Coilovers are starting to bed in a bit more too so the front has dropped slightly. Also got some front camber on the go

. I have no idea how to get rear camber... Anyone know much about this?

I fitted them with my brother in law who is a mechanic so we got it up on the ramp at his work. This is my first car and I've never worked on cars before but found it pretty simple to do so I'd say you would be sweet doing it.

it's my mates, he is 18. No idea how he insured it.

Mines a 1.4 so insurance isn't too bad.

I got bored with the dull and boring grey dash and decided it might be cool to do this to it...

after about a week of looking at this everyday I got so sick of it!

So yeah I had to get rid of the stickers...

Getting stuck into taking it off now with lots of soapy water. I will post the results as soon as I am done

So after ripping my dash off I had to pull all the stickers off which took a while

Unfortunately when pulling it off I broke part of it :/

Nothing a bit of glue wouldn't sort!

401117_3180007695316_1119365599_3300387_605658708_n.jpg

So a bit of carbon fibre vinyl off ebay and A LOT of patience and heat!

This was my first time doing the vinyl on anything so big... any questions feel free to ask me. The cd player fascia plate could probably do with being matte black.. but imo the dash is now way better than the silly sticker bombs!

Let me know your thoughts and opinions please

Any chance you could make a guide in the guides section for removing that?

Yeah I could try, if enough people wanted I could make a video of me removing it again to show people how.

it's pretty simple, I was a bit rough though ramming a screwdriver up into it which broke that part of it, but gluing it was easy and with the vinyl over it you can't even notice!

Even if you just do a step by step guide with pictures?
Im sure a lot of people would be interested!

I'm interested! I'd love to see a step by step of this as I wanted to wrap it in carbon fibre vinyl myself. Good job by the way, looks brilliant
