Loving those lows mate :thumbsup

Getto fitted roof bars ftw, don't use the feet but use the exhaust clamps and drill/clamp the bars straight to the rail

I'll find a pic of how i did mine (Connor's also done it the same way...)

Nice one Nat...appreciated! I was going to put them on diagonol/wonky but there isn't enough thread to get them on proper secure so I'll have to rob this idea (and a few others :ghey

)

Last update for a while unless I can really crack on before I go back to work on Thursday.

I'm up now ready to start on the Wagon. Going to rust the bonnet today, get the roof bars and basket on. Also going to get the whole car rubbed down (as much as possible, anyway). Going out in a mo to start drawing the diamonds on the other side of the bumper and get them spayed up.

So, this is what the plaggy bumper looked like yesterday morning...

Not checked it today but gave it a good soaking of salt water/lemon juice when I got back from the pub last night :rlftw

Thanks again fellas. Not much progress today I'm afraid but I'm hoping for some decent progress when I get back from work tomorrow.

Cheers Connor!! Any luck selling yours yet? Fancy selling some wheels at the end of the month if you haven't shifted it?

Thanks to everybody who's left comments so far. Still open to suggestions....although I seem to have a bit of a plan going off in my head.
I should rename this thread "My SIIIIIIICCCKKK FITTTT!!!!!! B5 Rat!"

Not entirely mate. the paint has iron in it. When you rub it down, it exposes the iron which then goes rusty. :tu

thats how i got the plastic bumper rusty mate :chill
