MattBVR6 0 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hello all,Just thought i'd post a few pics of my golf. I went out the weekend and got some pretty decent snaps but i haven't got the camera at work, so as i like to be paid to use the internet during works time i thought i'd download a couple from my phone.I'll post the good ones shortly but for now please let me know what you think.Thanks,Matt [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1187185483_6192_FT0_dsc00093.jpg][/lightbox][lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1187185484_6192_FT0_dsc00089.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites

MattBVR6 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Thanks for the comments. There are quite a few things that i'd like to do but since those pics were taken i've done quite a bit of polishing and cleaning which has made a massive difference.The front arches were rolled quite badly and it had left ripples in the arch so i quickly gave it a rub down and resprayed the arches lest weekend and put a fresh coat of paint on the lower part of the front grill to cover the stone chips.All in all i love it, just gotta keep working on it till its how i want it!!Its Mauve by the way and i'm in love with the colour, although it does look dull and shite when its a little dirty!!I'll post the new picks later hopefully Link to post Share on other sites

dusty_mauve 0 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Matt, what did you do with the M8 JKW plate just out of interest?Loving the engine polishing, sets the bay off really well, glad you're sticking the car back on RH's too, they're the only wheel for a Mk3 in my opinion...
