[rf860]

yeh i will try get time, im working at 7 tomorrow and off sunday but got a few plans but should manage at some point if the weather is decent.

cheers scott, just give me a text and i will pop round if i can.

Awfa Smart motor mate, almost certain ave seen it kicking about. You better watch yerself with those HiDs Strathclyde's finest are on the clamp down on them the now. Aye also feel your pain Hit a belter of a pothole last night, the general conditions ove the roads are shocking just now.

Cheers, i've not had it long, so still getting used to it ha ha. Tbh i don't drive very much at night so hopefully it will be ok, especially with them being 6k hids, they look quite oem. Potholes are a joke, i find myself weiving all over the road to avoid them, standard suspension in the fr was not designed to deal with bumps or potholes of any sort! Where abouts in ayrshire you from? Never see many seats in irvine

6k thats not so bad bud. Yeah ave noticed FR suspension is rather harsh too say the least. A work in Irvine, stay in Saltcoats.

Ayee that sounds like it will be me. HiDs are only a issue when your pulled and they start picking faults... However saying that some folk say they were pulled purely cause ove there Hids. Its just yer donald'duck

Not through girdle no, was on my way to the gym at that time, would have went down middleton road if you know that which is near girdle.

Prob would have been me tbh, not many white mk4s around! Did it have the bumpstrips removed Was driving towards the big roundabout at stanecastle, near the gulab.

No, think it had them still black. Heading away from the roundabout by the shops (coral and that).
Any good car care shops in Irvine? Cleaning stuff and that? Need something to do during the day. Might wash it.

 

[rf860]

Damn, thought I was the only white one. There's not any more, only halfords which is quite dear.

 

[ScottHmk4]

car looks good colour coded now mate, if you ever want the grill done etc, just let me know

aye does looks better. yeah might get the top 3 grills done gloss black? Might be a while before i get it done though, payday has been pushed back till next friday for some reason

Thinking of vinyl wrapping the b pillars in gloss black also, what you guys think? Will look better if i get the windows tinted i suppose.

 

[ScottHmk4]

if you gloss black the upper grills, i would do the lower honeycomb ones too, also vinyl wrap behind the number plate and maybe the bottom lip of the bumper in the middle. yeh vinyl wrap the b pillers too.
