Yega 10 Posted February 25, 2013 Looks awesome Michael. I'm thinking of doing some of the lights yellow on mine too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael'durham' 10 Posted February 26, 2013 Looks awesome Michael. I'm thinking of doing some of the lights yellow on mine too. Yes mate. The Lamin-X was easier than I thought to fit too. It's a good thickness and will protect them, I used clear on the indicators as i didn't want it looking like a Christmas tree. Like what I've seen of your G60.

Yega 10 Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks mate. I was tempted to do it on my Golf but all the lights are rounded and its a pain in the ass, but with the Corrado ones being square and flat should be easier. Did you have to take the glass off or did you fit it on the car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael'durham' 10 Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks mate. I was tempted to do it on my Golf but all the lights are rounded and its a pain in the ass, but with the Corrado ones being square and flat should be easier. Did you have to take the glass off or did you fit it on the car? Hi mate, I removed the whole fitting, with mine being a late car it's a different fitting to yours I think, the fog on your car is a separate housing and removes itself separately. When its time, I'd do the indicators and fogs together if I were you. Very easy tho fitting it over the whole front face nice and flat leaving enough around to cover all the sides, i then stretched and pulled the lamin-x around each of the corners using a small setting on hair dryer to soften and smooth. (Indoors) Then I pressed around all the side nice and neat. Very easy and great protection. Had to go all French as I'm a newcastle utd fan :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yega 10 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) I put the car through a service today at VW. Came back with a number of problems, mainly due to age - bits being rusty, cables needing replacing, etc. So will be posting up a list of things I need soon.

lard44 0 Posted February 28, 2013 I think I've fixed my leaking bottom rad hose. For whatever reason the one on there was a non-standard pattern piece that didn't seal properly at one end...and I think it was a bit too thin and narrow. Sourced a good 2nd hand one and some decent hose clips from Screwfix and the incontinence seems to have stopped. Think I found an oil leak though...buggerrit...
