C5 OEM 0 Posted December 9, 2010 looking great there pal, if you aren't already i would replace the bolts that see all the rain and crap down by the rad support panel - especially the two M8 bolts that have already been mentioned... powder coating looks to have come out really well - will be lovely once it's all back together :D was looking to maybe clean them up using this technique http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129882 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
