[Walesy 0]

Sweet :)

 

I'll be getting his details from you mate, I wasn't impressed at all with the work the guy in St Agnes did on the Nugget.

[Trig 0]

Sure thing

 

It's SPS Bodyworks in Wadebridge 01208816665

 

I'll get a picture of the box of rust that was the remains of my old sill up soon.

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Nice one, looks like some good work 8)

 

If I were you, I'd slap loads of black Waxoyl on the sill seams (without blocking the drainage holes) and also along the underside of the sill that's not visible from above.

....I'm still sure that bonnets a different colour to the rest of the car though..

[Jim 1]

Pearl Green always seems to look like that Walesy.. was always the same on my old G60! Though that had had some paint work in its life to be fair...

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Looks that way doesn't it. Must admit, a lot of C's I've seen appear to have a different shade on the bonnet, which I just put down to different light reflections....but you'd expect the shade to be lighter, not darker!

He was just doing that when I arrived!

 

It's actually Dragon Green, and yes the bonnet does look a different colour at times and from the right angle. But when you look up close you can't tell the difference...

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Same as mine too.... it's just that the bonnet is looking up at the sky and the wings aren't.

 

A good way to tell is to check the bonnet and roof match in the same light conditions.

Lookin good dude!

[CazzaVR 0]

Yeh, looks good. He's done a spot-on job with that sill 8)

 

My aqua bonnet looks darker than the rest too... will have to compare it to the roof next time I use it.

[Trig 0]

I reckon it's the pearl effect that makes it look a different colour depending on where light is coming from...

 

Thanks guys.

 

Thinking about converting to red dials/clocks next. :?

[Trig 0]

Having owned by baby for almost exactly 13 months I thought i'd post up a couple of comparison pictures. A few subtle differences, really pleased with her at the moment.

 

Also gives folk a good idea as to how much lower Koni TA's/H&R's are over standard suspension.

 

 

Also a quick pic of my now 'orange' dials and LCD. Got red heater controls fitted as well now, just need to get them lit up!

[Bojmobile 0]

Lookin good mate! Like the red calipers too! :thumbleft:

 

although personally - I like the chrome VW roundel.

[fla 9]

i reckon you should do a "spot the difference" on the two tops pics LOL.

[Trig 0]

There are 8 differences between the pictures... see if you can spot them! (you'll be doing well)

 

And it's not stuff like new tyres! Actual modifications, even if they are minor.
