I'm going to have to modify them a little around the handle, because the recess for the big handle hits the door shut :S |

Paint! Yes!  Needs building back up tomorrow (It's still a bit soft so I didn't want to risk it) then a good flat and buff because of the inevitable dust. Dead happy with the colour! |

Woohoo! Painted and buffed:  I'm really happy with it, looks exaclty as I wanted and for a "DIY in a garage" job it settled lovely, and didn't take much flatting. I've buffed it with G3 and washed it, but its still not been polished so should come up even better! |

What day is it? Hopefully jamesp will have my new front wheels back by then. And hopefully It'll be in a good mood and will drive more than 1.8 miles before collapsing |

Love the colours, that was exactly the colour (with black arches too) I wanted to paint the Pug in its next incarnation!! Looks excellent What next then? Next - Well.. I dunno really. I've got some wider front wheels coming, and some stereo stuff to install, but other than that it's pretty much done, I can't really go any further without going "too far". I'd usually swap wheels a few times to keep me interested, but to fill these arches with wheels in 4x108 I'm struggling. You don't see a lot of 9 inch wide, et-25 4x108 wheels for sale! I do fancy something a bit more shiny, so considering some adaptors to 4x114.3 and getting something similarly wide but ET0 and japanese. I can't see it happening though, as I've got my eyes on pastures new (back to something german... perhaps a mk2 caddy van, passat estate/big audi estate with the usual heavy slam and wheels) Dude that looks awesome!! I have always wanted a S1 Rallye or XSi or any 106GTI. This thread is not helping the want. Cheers mark! I do recommend them, especially now they are about as cheap as they are going to get. Bags of fun for cheap, but you'll definitely have niggly issues. Parts are dead cheap and easy to get hold of, and they are a doddle to work on too. Now is the time I reckon! |

Oh, and I took a picture earlier when I took a drive out to somewhere deserted to set the stereo up without upsetting people:  |
