I had no idea you took those! Surprisingly it doesn't look too dirty! At least the exhaust is fitted properly now!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - puglove - 16-04-2013
are we looking at the same car scott?? astor looks dirty even when clean !!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Dum-Dum - 16-04-2013
She looks good IMO
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Carlos182 - 26-08-2013
Well as some of you know, I am now the proud owner of this!
Hopefully will have a few more pictures soon, but I've been at work all weekend and I don't get a day off until tomorrow.
Few little things I want to sort out, but nothing major! plus all of those things are soon forgotten when you plant your right foot!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Ed Doe - 26-08-2013
Good to see you the other day buddy
You've got a cracking car there too, low mileage, and very well looked after

Righty-o. Had a day off work today, so set about giving it a good clean.
First off before washing was to get the plastics looking black again.
Started with the spoiler - midway through;
![[Image: EYbg02jh.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/EYbg02jh.jpg)
Did the mirrors, scuttle panel etc too, but those aren't that interesting to look at!
Caps went back on the wheels and then had a quick wash, ended up looking like this;

Decided to freshen up the wheels with a fresh coat of paint too, they aren't too bad, but are looking a bit tired. Only got one done today, but looks better for it. Also gave the bolts a quick blast over with some silver as they were looking tired too.

Then decided to have a play with the spare fuel strip things. Thought I'd try white and see what it looked like.

Don't like it, so back to this

Then went for a quick driver after

Looking awesome mate!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - ginge191 - 27-08-2013
Such a nice car; height spot on, wheels spot on, not a fan of the f'arbon but each to their own!
beauty!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Scott - 27-08-2013
That looks awesome Carl
So pleased to see that the car has gone to someone with some proper enthusiasm for it who will get things done. The spoiler and wheels look much tidier now and help finish the car! Love it.I'm hoping the car was still nice and easy to clean? It was clayed, polished and waxed about 6 weeks ago so should still be good!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - samass - 27-08-2013
:O
have you RAISED the front??!!??
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Scott - 27-08-2013
It's on eibach springs rather than the coilovers mate
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - samass - 27-08-2013
Ohhhhhhh that makes sense.

Will be eventually changed when I get the proper colour scheme underway!

Still fairly easy. Needs another coats of wax or two for my liking, but that's just me!

As Scott said, nope.
But I do have plans for that
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Carlos182 - 30-08-2013
Think I may have found some new wheels
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Scott - 30-08-2013
Hero. They're exactly what I wanted to do!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Just Sean - 30-08-2013
That was my backup colour scheme! Will look the tits!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Tom - 30-08-2013
Current wheels held on by studs and nuts?

Banding is definitely on the cards though!
P.S - Any chance of the thread title being changed? :p

Nope, I'm looking into stud conversions though!

RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Matt - 31-08-2013
Would edit your title but only Scott or Fooby can.
As I can't edit Scott's stuff as he is the boss
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Piggy - 31-08-2013
those rims look epic. I be terrified of stone chips though!
RE: Scott's (& Ed's) Astor Grey GTi-6 - Scott - 31-08-2013
Carl if you're planning on banding then I'm guessing you'll be getting normal steels rather than trying to do the c5s?

Please candy purple ALL the things! That colour is epic

Looking very good, just wondered what product you used on the spoiler and other plastics.

RE: Calos182's Astor Grey GTi-6 - Niall - 01-09-2013
Candy Purple has to happen! You wont believe how much i was hassling Scott to do this!
In fact, i still am for his new car. Candy purple wheels on a gay white car?
