OK, so today I started on the roof bars and tow hitch. They are all sprayed up, not the best job, few patches and runs, but it was my first attempt and looks much better than it did before anyway!

Here is a before on the roof bars:

And this is them sprayed up, I need to wait a few hours before re-installing them and will add final pics then (or tomorrow if it's too dark.)

And finally, the tow hitch, looks 1000% better!

I apologise about how dirty she is! Tomorrow, I have a fog to replace and then it'll have a good clean.

Get a pic from front and side with no bars on! Looks epic!

Re: China HDI Estate - 4WayDiablo - 16-02-2012

They look odd with no roof rails

Re: China HDI Estate - Foxy-jim - 16-02-2012

I may get some roof bars for mine and spray them china too...

Re: China HDI Estate - tomcannon - 16-02-2012

Cant get any more pics now, the roof bars are back on now. I think it looks odd without them too.

Anyway, here's the final result.

Cheers, I agree, for the best part of £8 you cant complain!

It's raining now so that's put a hold on the fog replacement. One of my dog's has been lost for the past 3 days however I just had a phone call saying she's been found and is at the local vets! Good day all round!

Re: China HDI Estate - tomcannon - 03-03-2012

Small update, spent this morning on the car. Sorted the front fog however haven't taken a picture of that as we all know what it looks like. Also managed to get some gti6 shocks and lowered springs on and new droplinks, had a bit of an edge of your seat moment using the spring compressors as the top mount holes on one of the ones I bought were worn through so had to change the mount over from the old shocks. Anyway, it all came good in the end. Pics... Ignore the mud, I spent hours cleaning it last weekend but with our roads currently its pointless, I wont bother till the summer.

The final result is much better than before, I have a done a before and after to show the drop, sits nicely and very similar to the rear now.

Getting there slowly! Tom.

Re: China HDI Estate - 4WayDiablo - 03-03-2012

looks good mate, told you the bars will make a hell of a difference!

Re: China HDI Estate - Eeyore - 03-03-2012

looks much better!

Re: China HDI Estate - Foxy-jim - 06-03-2012

Looks way better mate!

China HDI Estate - Matt - 06-03-2012

Much better Smile I'd still go lower though Big Grin

China HDI Estate - tomcannon - 06-03-2012

Nah, it's sitting perfect as far as I'm concerned, I'm a fan of the oem+ look so any lower is not what I'm after. As far as progress there isn't much happening right now, however I have some new mounts and caps for my engine cover (very exciting!) and all the parts to give it a good service! Important things first!!

Re: China HDI Estate - Kezzieboy - 06-03-2012

Perfect height, looks spot on!

Re: China HDI Estate - tomcannon - 06-03-2012

Wasn't quite what I was after but I cant resist a bargain, just got these for £60, so after courier, £100 tops. Big Grin

Me neither, they should be well out of the arch. Sideways. lmao

They will do for now and for that price! Plus there's 5, I reckon I could easily make my money back selling them at a later date.

I've never quite understood this. Well I get the concept just don't quite understand how a compressed spring can settle and by so much that it makes a visual difference?

Re: China HDI Estate - Foxy-jim - 07-03-2012

You will be surprised!

Nuts! I hope that's the case for me seeing as it'll be having some 16" on it soon.
