Literally working on these as we speak! Hopefully have a finished item very shortly then it's a case of getting numbers together [emoji1417] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Nothing better than coming home from work early on a sunny day to find your R CAKED down one side in road salt from a spreader [emoji30][emoji35][emoji35] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Intake extensions update: Sorry for the delay, had an accident playing football at the weekend and I've been hobbling about on crutches since! Today was finally dry/ sunny so I managed to make good progress on the 3M vinyl. I was happy with the stencils I'd made to cut the vinyl from... only to find that the driver's side is ever so slightly narrower than the passenger side indentations! How weird! After several hours of outlining, cutting, fitting, cutting, filing the plasticised card (wtf!?) and more cutting, I put my first efforts on the car and they're about 80% there. Plan is, to refine the stencil and the cut-outs so that they're as best a fit as possible then I'll let you guys see the finished product. Must say, the 3M vinyl is so easy to work with, you can lift it as many times as you need, and when you're happy, just apply heat[emoji1417] also its evident, from doing this myself, that the vehicle wrapping company that first did my side vents *did not* put this much effort into the shape! They were like octagons compared to the true curve! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Moe, your LSG is very similar to mine! I definitely want the laminX tints for the stealth look [emoji1417] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was also thinking of something along these lines. 3M matte chrome would be lovely on any of the dark colours, particularly DBP and Midnight Blue...[emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Update on the vent extensions: the vinyl has arrived and when I get a weather window, I'll get things sized and cut. Given the hand made nature of the items, does £14.99 with free postage and install advice sound ok? Cheers guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I'm back home this weekend, so I intend on making these side vent extensions. Once I have everything together, I'll put details on VWROC and I'll get them posted out next week [emoji1417][emoji1417] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Is that a maxton design spoiler lip? [emoji848] may have to add that to my LSG R.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone know how to remove the carbon effect trim pieces on the doors?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Hi all. Has anyone removed the 'carbon effect' trim on their doors? (That run along the blue led lighting / door handle) ... I think it's time for an upgrade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks excellent without the front plate!! I specifically requested VW not to fit a plate holder, and they acknowledged it... alas, my 66 plate R arrived with an unsightly black holder!! What was your process for the removal and hole concealment? And did you do it at home? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I had my hubs sprayed by the VW body shop before I collected the car. I went for satin black which looks brilliant with the black callipers and polished Cadiz wheels. Here's a picture, not the best! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
