Re: 1.8 GLS Hatch Project
Well got a few things done. Tinted one of the passenger side windows: http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr102/ProjectGSi/IMAG1067.jpg Also got some more blue hose for the engine bay. Replaced both water hoses and it was very cheap so quite pleased. Before: http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr102/P...

Re: 1.8 GLS Hatch Project
Is the paint on the exhaust heatshield high temperature paint? If not it is likely to melt or worse, catch fire. I liked the start of this, allowing for the fact that I'm not a fan of the blue bits, but the rear bumper really spoils it in my opinion, it doesn't suit the car at all. i think the bump...
