Wiper blades fitted (Hella difference), LED sidelights fitted, attempted to fit LED foglights but they were too big and a massive detail with a clay bar ect.
Not been able to do much recently with the weather but im thinking up next will be smoked headlights with HIDs... and smoke the lexarse rears... After the MOT of course!
A little list of what i want in no particular order...
Smoked lights
HID's
Spray front grill (black/anthracite)
Lower (40mm-ish)
Few GTi goodies
Small Boot build
Colour code SP arches
Tidy up the trim with some matt black (wiper arms ect)
Tidy up calipers
Few subtle touches...
Me and Johnboy1989 will be having a phat cleaning sesh wednesday (weather permitting) so there will be a photoshoot after that with the SLR! Anybody local want to attend your more than welcome.
Thats all for now!

Another update.
Got a few of my GTi bits in yesterday and today with the help of Johnboy1989.
First up the interior bits...
Arty photo
Next me and John went about fitting the SP grill. I already had a stainless grill but wanting to keep up the SP theme we went ahead and changed them over.
In process...
Hi John!! 
After ALOT of hassle with one or two bolts we ended up with this...
We swapped the grills over and an end result of this...
Next up, as the wheels were off and there was a poor blue paintjob on the front calipers i went about painting the calipers red. Turned out rather nice!
Finally, it would be rude to leave the rear drums out of it, so they got a blast of black spray paint...
Before
and after...
Job done! Coming along nicely now, Mainly tidying up is next on the list!
Big thanks to Johnboy1989 for the help today!

Update:
Not much has happend in the last month or so. I masked the front lights with satin black that were a pain to do, but worthwhile!
Took a few night shots experimenting with my SLR...
 .
Also as we speak ive just had to dish out for a new CAT & lambda sensor as it failed on emissions on the MOT. Plus side is it should run better and be a bit quieter now!
