CazzaVR 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Loving that black and white picture, Gareth - looks nice and moody 8) Alas, none of mine on there though :( First time I've seen your car in the flesh- absolutely stunning mate. Have you ever entered it into any comps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Cheers guys, the Maxpower comment really hurt :( Acquired new platics trims/guides for the plug leads and have got the 7mm HT leads seated far better now, the little retaining lugs were trimmed back to allow them to sit nicely in the channel.

KIPVW 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Goota love the red leads and i wouldn't change mine if i was given a set of brand new black ones, i actually bought a brand new set last year and demanded they be red Lol! black just look a little boring to me so nice to have a bit of candy under the bonnet :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted May 6, 2010 Agreed red just looks right, I don't routinely look to add colour but with red being the stock colour its good to keep it and know that the eye candy is OEM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 7, 2010 Cheers guys, the Maxpower comment really hurt :( . i did say sorry straight away and 1st gave the good commet which i still stand by :wave: I spose its more of a dig at VW, i don't like red brakes etc either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Its all cool, no offence taken, I tend to agree on the brakes (mine are black) I don't suppose if they weren't a standard color I would have deviated from black but funnily enough red and even blue ignition leads seem to add a bit of character to the engine bay. Rest assured everything else will stay factory OEM appearance under the bonnet not a big fan of bling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan 0 Posted June 24, 2010 looks stunning! Any bigger pics? I was thinking the same :) when you click on a pic, it opens up near enough the same size as the preview. all the cars are looking very 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks guys, sorry I haven't got bigger pics I pinched those from someones show pics but they are small. I keep trying to get a decent pic with the refinished 301s fitted but just can't take a decent pic, the car is infuriating most cars look better in pics than in the metal.

I think your car looks good from any angle... just get the phone camera out and start snapping. Then you'll prob delete most of them but you might find a few gems in there :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
