Looks nice Matty,

Shame there doesn't seem to be any company's that do it near me or I'd take the plunge eventually. Decat ftw! you'll have yours fitted before me at this rate!

Thanks mate Smile

I assume you mean the hydro dipping? The company I used are called Garnish based in Exeter and mainly despatch dipped items rather than collecting in person, there is a guy on fb under "Gti 180 owners" page called Ben who does hydro dipping who's more centrally based in the uk

Cheers mate, just had to give her a wash and polish the wings where the sp arches were Sad but tbh and you'll probably agree when you see pics later, the car looks better without them

my decat arrived yesterday Very Happy going to be a few weeks before it's fitted though as going to buy some lambda sleeves for it first

Just google hydro dipping and see where the closest one to you is, I bought parts off ebay and had them sent directly to the place who dipped mine and they sent them back to me Smile

So Saturday saw the car at Castle Combe for PAD,

 

 


it was here I realised I need to get the sp arches back on so as soon as I got home I set about ordering a new arch, unfortunately it's completely the wrong colour Sad on a plus note, have ordered the lambda sleeve needed to get my decat on the car Very Happy

also just ordered 8 of these which will replace the m6 bolts used on the wings, headlights and front grille :halo:

Well show season is here so only right I treat the car to some more goodies Very Happy

Decided the honeycombe grille with red inserts is boring me now Laughing so luckily luke saunders was selling his black zunsport grille set, bonnet vent and bumper grille and standard sp midde grilles

 


had a 207 sp badge in my car box and since the zunsport badge is welded on decided to fit it underneath, not too sure on it tbh, just wish i could remove the zunsport one without ruining the paintwork

 


since the weather is so nice I thought i'd take advantage of the sun and start spraying the middle sp grilles in smooth black hammerite, after the 1st coat, will finish off tomorrow hopefully

 



As soon as the main zunsport bumper grille is fitted, the honeycombe will be up for sale, also hoping to get the decat on this week Very Happy

Take the SP badge off!

Number one it's bent Razz

2... way too much, keep the Zunsport or cut the zunsport out and fix the SP badge in place some way!

Looks good though Matty, engine bay bolts look nice that's on my list of to do's shame swampy off Saxp turns out to be a scammer (even though I had no issues previously) or I'd get some more bolts from him, where you get those ones dude?

Also, the lambada sleeve, is that the one you pm'd me? just gna make sure before I order it Smile also, while I'm on the talk of the decat are you planning on fitting this yourself or taking it somewhere? wondering because it doesn't look like it will fit nicely from what I saw when taking a butchers yesterday. Beer could have confused my brain tho...

SP badge already removed mate Wink

keeping the zunsport as it is as it does look quite subtle

The bolts look awesome when fitted mate, so glad you talked me into going purple but these have a flip type look Very Happy they were however expensive, cost me £57 for just 8 bolts Laughing

the lambda sensor unfortunately doesn't say what size hole to drill so i just drilled a small hole then screwede it into the pipe, going to get a garage to fit it as i don't trust my skills Laughing plan to book it in next friday morning Very Happy

Purple is the best colour in the world mate if I had black it would be the only colour for me Smile

Glad you got shot of that SP badge, one or one or t'other really haha.

8 bolts for 57 quid wwwwwwhat would have been cheaper to anodise them yourself in VHT purple, (not as nice a colour mind).

Is it the sensor you pm'd me that you bought?

Yeah the purple is a really nice colour against the black Smile

haha I know, bloody expensive but couldn't find any others that were a nice purple.

Yeah it's the same sensor I messaged you about, was sent in a massive enevlope lol

Managed to find some of those clips for the bumper grille in the garage Very Happy was only looking for electrical blocks for my room and came across 6 of them lol

By far this has to be my favourite mod on the car Very Happy it brings such a smile to my face when I put my foot down Laughing

yesterday car went in the garage to have the decat pipe fitted, had bought a lambda sleeve from Kam Racing but turns out it couldn't be fitted due to clearance issues, have driven 63 miles since it was fitted and feels so much better and more responsive and more importantly i've not had any warning lights come one, bonus Very Happy !!

Have also had the engine cover and washer cap sprayed in what was meant to be cadbury's purple but looks completely different Laughing but still looks nice, will get pics of this up this week.

As she stands at the mo from todays car show in Devon

Well since the last car show the pug attended she has had yet more changes made

The honeycombe grille has been removed and a zunsport black alloy grille fitted, the pics were taken at FCS and show off the engine bay with it's new bling bling Laughing

 

 

 

 

 


Some people might hate them but I quite like them, especially in purple Wink

 

 

 


New front sticker, in purple of course Laughing
 



Caught the "i" on the Gti180 badge so had to remove it all together, looks alright tbh
 


Few random pics of the pug on the drive to FCS and at the show itself Very Happy
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Since coming back from FCS i've decided to go black led's on the rear and to start saving for a respray, coilovers and a new set of wheels all for FCS 2015 Very Happy
