Paudge,

Forgot to list de-chrome the front grill surround, and colour code the door handles and the mirrors. Obvious after seeing Sooty again.

That transformation, and thread is still inspiring.

Cheers David, i showed it to Mick on thursday. have to say im delighted with it, it needs a few jobs done but i dont mind that, needs an s2 bumper badly, the tdi bumper doesnt do anything for it, id love a set of 17" 4x108 cabriolet alloys to stick on till i convert it to 5x112 as i love the avus wheels, also any advise on a headunit to suit, i have a becker gran prix 7993 but id need something to light up red and look factory, i know you can get a becker grand prix thats lights up red but there hard to get, any advise and help would be great, cheers

New Beckers are expensive, not sure if the lights can be changed of your existing unit ?

Someone on here may know.
