Maverick's Emocion Red MK4 TDI - DIY Wheel Refurb **NOW FINISHED** Page 10+

[bunisjamin]

I didnt bother with soap.

I took the lower grill off, measured it out, pushed the vinyl down onto the lip (with tha backing on at this stage) and creased out to the edges, cut it out ( just a little bigger than the creases) and stuck the vinyl down. Used a credit card to smooth it out. Then hit it with a hairdryer.

Was it easy getting the centre grill out, sorry haven't taken it out before, that would seem the easiest way to apply the vinyl.

Then hit it with a hairdryer.

And when that didn't work, I turned it on and used the heat!!

The centre grill, I just prised it out, if i can remember right, its held in by a few clips ( I broke one when I took mine off) It can push straight back in when you're finished. just be careful when you take it off.

 

[Maverick08]

Got a few little updates for you guys.

I got the cupra handbrake cover, and cupra vent clips.

Apologies for the dirt! lol

Handbrake cover:

Vent clips:

Also Got a gear Gaiter off eBay, black leather with Red stitching, would highly reccommend these guys if anyone was looking for a similar thing. they can do almost any colour combination too... - Cupra esc:

Got a few other items that are on their way.. one came today, not sure on the others, could be next week. But I guess you'll have to wait! lol

Looking good! Can't believe i'm not subscribed to this thread, probably because i always get you and Alex mixed up!

Cupra spoiler looks good, i didn't really notice much difference when i had mine but the other day i was crouched down cleaning the back bumper and looked up and it looks massive!

Its Probably Because Our Cars Are Almost Identical

Any Updates?

[ALEXZ360]

Ah That Sucks Mate, Should Of Put Tax To The Side The Bumper Is More Important

I know, everytime i have been about to take it something has meant i cant! Maybe it's not meant to be? It came off a crashed FR as well , hope its not an omen

 

[Maverick08]

Another Small update time...

Got round to fitting my new Alu Gear knob:

And decided on getting a Flip key coded, with the obligatory key fob:

 

[Maverick08]

I'll probably get slated for this one, but I was interested in DRL's (note: not the audi style ones) but maybe converting the fogs or something along those lines.

 

[Maverick08]

Darn LED Numberplate bulbs went last night, One blew, and the other is a rather non-appealing strobe light effect! lol so I'm back to my original ones.. didn't last too long.

 

[Maverick08]

Car is looking really good mate, lots of tasteful mods. Like the little interior bits. Headrest spings, seatbelt pads, etc and the parrot device looks really smart.

Keep up the good work, hopefully the white dials will fit

Cheers dde. Really appreciate it.

I know some on here don't like small cheap mods, but just bcos ther cheap dsnt make them tasteless..

Getting the radio code tomorrow (FINALLY) and have a few more ideas in the pipeline but they might have to wait until summer.

 

[knight85]

Nice look forward to seeing the progress

As for the cold gear knob you need to knit it a little custom hat like so

Cant remember off-hand which seller. but I got them oneBay.
They were really good, looked the part, but they lasted about 2 maybe 3 months I think. Could have been the cold weather though...
