Default Hello from the UK!!!



Hi guys,

Had my 3.0 TFSI since April of last year. Since I've had it I've had all of the chrome wrapped in gloss black, wing mirrors sprayed gloss black, windows tinted, sourced and fitted a set of the perforated diamond quilted sport seats, remapped to circa 400 bhp by DMS here in the UK and finally just fitted a set of genuine 21" rotors.

Not many more mods to do. I'd like the callipers painting in maybe black or grey and maybe the roof wrapping in gloss black but I"m not too sure about that.

I'll post some more pics soon.

I personally LOVE the chrome wrapped in gloss black. I tried doing it myself - did not turn out well at all! I had the rotor wheels too, until I cracked two of them and now I'm back to stock. Love the look and can't believe you put sport seats in it! wish I could do that. only other thing I did was to replace the lower rear valence so I had the elongated/rectangular exhaust tips, newer look

Originally, did the rear of your car look like how mine does now?

I've found a later rear bumper on Ebay and could just take the lower portion off and fit it to my existing bumper. I've also found the rectangular tips too. Is it just a case of taking my existing tips off and clamping onto either the bumper valance or the exhaust system?

Cheers.

When you say "wrapped in gloss black", how is that accomplished? Is this actually some sort of adhesive product which is removable?

Yeah it's just an adhesive film like some of the sponsors sell on here. Applied to the grill, chrome on the lower body and window surrounds. All removable.
