Its really starting to come together now matey!

Im liking it alot!

[Tom_vRS]

Where did you source the decal mate?

The grille looks spot on - have you refurbished it or something?

Looking stunning as ever though, whens it anticipated it will be completed? And when it is will you sell me it? Ta.

[Monkey Boy]

Decal was from http://www.volkswagenstickers.co.uk/ as they do them without the washer and wiper holes. Looks standard until you notice thereis no wiper :yes:

Grille had a quick clean but a full set of new lights. Will be completed sometime this year lol.

Rear is almost finished now. Still need to finish off the petrol flap and boot plinth.

Front bumper is all built up apart from the lower splitter. Just needs to be bolted up once the wings are setup.

Hopefully get remaining exterior paint work finished this week.

This is looking great and I think it's going to look super smart when it's finished............

[Babs]

Looking very good mate!

[Monkey Boy]

Finished painting the drivers door so got that fitted and parts transfered from the old door.

Front bumper mounted and lower splitter put on.

Got to modify the boot plinth tomorrow and prep all the sunroof parts for a bit of matt black.

[Monkey Boy]

Sunroof is all finished now and ready for installation after rails are painted.

Polished the tail pipes on my old skool small pipe magnex back box. Couple more goes and they should be ok.

Got my bonnet trim to sort out.

Sits in direct sunlight so fades a lot and dont want to paint it as you have to bend it get it in.

Will be getting a load of coats of Liquitec CXL plastic dye.

[Monkey Boy]

Five coats of CXL and it looks loads better.

[Monkey Boy]

Rear wheel arch's stone chipped.

Fitted the rear wheels as well.

Finished off the sunroof parts.

Back end looks finished now plinth and number plate fitted.

Electric windows and sunroof wired in and tested.

Couple of bits to finish and then a final polish.

Looking goo....but watch out for the po po as your not supposed to have wheels that stick out past the arches!!!

Looking at the motor vehicle construction regulations you are allowed 30mm (mainly covers vehicles that have a twin wheel rear axle as when the wheels are on the front they stick out in the centre) but still got to put on the wider G60 arch trims yet.

[Babs]

The tyre treads have to be inside the arches, hence the stretch

[Monkey Boy]

Pushed it out side this morning to have a look over the car for a final list of jobs to do.

Hopefully get the jobs done this week and get it back home at the weekend.

[mannyo]

Looking good, at least it looks like a car now.

[VRS Mike]

awesome mate.

[Baker21]

Looks really, really good mate and I think this is going to look spot on when it's finished...........

[Tom_vRS]

Its going to be stunning.

Cosmetically there's not much to do though surely? Getting the wheel arch trims on will make a lot of difference.

[Monkey Boy]

Golf is back home now so i can finish it off.

Engine and box are in now and test fitted a couple of parts.

Took ages to get the dust off the bay.

Arch trims test fitted before i bond them on.

Just cover the tyres nicely

Wings and bonnet aligned and bolted up now.

[RobClubley]

[Fester1698]
