I think most are in UK but not 100% sure. I've seen another on here that wasn't Candy white and he said it was snow white and made the Candy white look yellow. He did say the colour name but i can't remember it? It wasn't a UK car though.

My dad's got a white Honda CRV and that looks yellow compared to mine

Yeah I've noticed the same lol

On a change of subject, i've also noticed the general lack of interest from people on this forum as well. Been on a couple of other forums (not seat) and its completely different?!

It appears you have to have thousands to spend on your car or do a mammoth build to get any real interest lol

 

[leeds/lee]

I agree, I personally think with out a doubt R32oc is the best forum there is.

Ive tried contacting there admin see if they can put a VAG group on there, i know theres a audi corner.
The lads on there are great, and end if day we're all VAG group.

I was on the vectra c forum and that was as good what the R32oc sounds.

Don't get me wrong there is some great stuff on here and members with some fantastic cars and knowledge. Yes the mammoth builds are amazing and a lot of hours and dedication go into them and hats off to them!

The only thing is and seen it on here a few times, people who don't have loads of money to spend, give time to show the hard work they do with the little they have and who want to be part of the forum, get no interest at all?!

Thanks again for you comments mate

Grill, badge, number plate surround and botton bumper lip i carbon wrapped.

Leaving that on just to break up the gloss black a little, but will be painting the front grill slats and three bottom grills gloss black in the next few days.

Fingers crossed it looks ok?!

 

[leeds/lee]

IanBoca and i are going to spray my grille with this rubber matt spray, he did my rear badge and after one more coat will look sweet.

Thanks mate. The EP3 was just standard spec, wanted to keep it that way because of the low mileage. The only mod was the wheel colour change. It's been one of my favourite cars!

What did you do to yours?
