Wheels refurbed - New pics

[ClioGav]

Well it's been a while since i've posted any pics of my little motor so here goes...

I hand polished and refurbished the wheels myself, they've turned out sweet imo
Also now got a smoothed bonnet.
Lowered another 20mm allround
Seats are going at the weekend to make way for full leather!
Spacers for the front coming soon

Opinions welcome

Bugger! sorry matey that would have been ideal. You manage to get everything out of the car yet?lol


Oh and i've done all 4 wheels lol not just 2 :clown:

There are guides on the net for refurbing/polishing wheels found plenty on VW forums. This is the 3rd set i've done so far.

I did the lights myself, but they're only ideal for summer as they dont produce as much light due to spraying the reflective part inside. I'm going to do another set with only a small part of the chrome painted, hopefully will work better with some high power bulbs. If not i'll have to return to standard for winter. You have to use a heatgun to open the lense.
