Styling what mods should i do to my car?

[lukemortlock7]

Oh haha I hope mine doesn't fail. Did manage to do the roof though! Yeah I don't think I'll be getting the linea one. What do you think of this one?

Looks like this on the car:

Yeah that's the seat cupra splitter. Go to a seat dealer, will be cheaper and you won't have to pay postage!

Ahh I see! Thanks S1MO!

I often see people posting pictures of reflections after washing/polishing etc, so I thought I'd post some pictures of reflections on my car! I've only washed the car once since I've owned it and never polished it. Quite happy with it

Roof also looks very shiny and reflective because of the vinyl

Lookin good dude. U thought about colour coding wing mirrors n door handles?

You should leave the mirrors black, gives some contrast. You should colour code the door handles though.

I advise you colour code the whole door handles and the mirrors.. painting the mirrors will make the car look wider and the door handles will give the side a clean smother look + metal/ silver / chrome and chemical grey are a great combo. Also i think you should re-vinyl your pillars or even better get them sprayed gloss black at a body shop.. Check out my car thread if you want to see how it will look.

Thanks buddy! Yeah gonna get some paint and do the door handles and wing mirrors

I think I'm gonna colour code the mirrors too, if it was black paint maybe, but its just black plastic and because the rest of the mirror is black too they look a little boring as they are.

That is true, I'd like the car to look wider. Yes I'm going to get some faux leather and do the pillars. Looks great! I like it!

Thanks, btw when i said pillars i meant exterior but interior is also a good choice. If your after a wider look, rear 15mm hubcentric spacers are the best choice, got mine for about £40 but lowering will make the most difference to the overall stance of the car.

Oh right. Nah I took the vinyl off only a month or so ago, prefer it off. I was thinking about spacers on the rear, fronts are already as far out as they can go. Where did you get them from?

Booth: if you're interested in spacers, came across these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vw-4x100-...ms_Trims_ET&hash=item1c26331dc6#ht_500wt_1287
Thought you might fancy them, should be able to get them cheap

 

[NDB]

Dont get those ones.. Make sure the spacers you get are hubcentric (A lip the same size as the lip on your wheel hub sticks out of the spacer) and for the grande punto or corsa. Getting non hubcentric spacers puts allot of stress on the wheel bolts, not good. Got mine a while back on ebay.

Oh yeah didn't think of that, good call!

Not really they are solid.. Only issue is i have sportlines + 20mm spacers so 1 person or more in the back means slight scraping over speed bumps, or dips in the road at speed.

next day I have off (nice day) I'll do the window tint and get some photos!
Also bought some faux leather

 

[Ryaaan]
