Some pics after a saturday-morning wash.

My N15 GTi needed a good wash, and afterwards I took some quick shots with my phone. Also, included a picture of the wheels I'm gonna try and get in a few months (hopefully).

I was also thinking about painting the 'spokes' in the grill black. Leave the rest of the grill red, just those little spokes.

Thanks rhyd4.

I like the wheels dude, and yeah paint the grill 'spokes'!

 

[Thomas]

Hey Mike. I was planning on other wheels, but when I found these, I just fell in love. The graphite color should work great with the red of the car.

 

[rhyd4]

heres your grill slats black, you could even cut them out and mesh them black

 

[Thomas]

I really does work better when black, doesn't it??

Thanks rhyd4!!

Thanks man! She's got some spots that need work, bit of rust and such, but only a little. She's 12 years old, what can you expect? Other then that, she looks great.

I just ordered some clear side-indicators and new speakers for in the back. The previous owner put some speakers in the hatboard. I'm not a big fan of that, but since the holes are already there, I figured I'd put some new ones in since the old ones are blown.

Another thing that will make the car look amazing would be to upgrade to P2 Headlights/Indicators,
Really transforms the car!

Still looking for the Ph2 headlights. There should an adres in the Netherlands where I can get some, I'm looking into it.

In the meantime, the TSR wheels are a no-go. I've heard the paintwork on these are pretty shabby. A re-paint should work, but with the extra money needed for that, I could buy other, nicer looking wheels. The TSR's are pretty cheap.

Also, as things stand now, the car should go for some body and paint work mid-june. The hood is getting a respray, and both left- and right-frontpanels.

I also put in some clear side-indicators. That really helps with the look of the car, looks so much better now!!

Yeah, I know. They look so good. I'll look into something else, I'll find some nice wheels.
Thanks for the compliments. I really love this car.

Looks like I'm back on track with the TSR's. The rumors about bad quality are from a series they of TSW's from 18 months ago, which are now replaced.
