I had same dilemma, i think leave the chrome surround chrome and colour code your bonnet moulding lip definitely. You could wrap it in carbon 3M wrap too.

+1 id do the same as above,

leave the chrome rings on the fogs as they are,

they clip out of the surround so you wont need to mask them up or anthing just remove them before painting, and by colour coding the chrome bonnet lip and perhaps fitting some light brows it will give the apperance of a lower bonnet and the headlights an evil apperance too

Climate Control Knobs arrived from ebay today:

Only took 16 days from Ebay!

Also the washer jets just arrived.. I'll be back soon!

Did you get the knobs from Jooseloosener?

He's always a good lad.

Am i missing something here what is the difference with the climate control knobs? I obviously don't take much care in this area.

As for washer jets are you installing MK3 jets?

Knobs for comparison.--

Knobs.jpg

My two photo's werent a before and after! They were a day light and night time :)

My originals are like the one's in stoney's top photo, but black plastic not silver :)

And yeah - just done my mk3 washer jets! 10 minutes top!

Oh i like them. i always thought mine were like that ha, Are they easy enough to change? Whats so good about the MK3 jets compared to Mk2/MK2.5 may i ask?

They're mist rather than jet sprays.

They cover the screen better, wipe faster and don't obscure the screen when washing at night.

And Paddy, the hardest thing about changing the knobs was waiting for them to be delivered.

Pull the old ones off using a cloth and pliers, push New ones on! Done!

Thanks Stoney, can you link me to these GC88 either here or in PM? I reckon if i order them now il get them by end of the month it seems ^_^

The Mk3 washer jet upgrade is an awesome little mod at £6! Quite interested in the climate control knobs...

Aren't they just!

Today, i fitted a new glovebox light ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110876656287?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 ) - it gives out plenty of light ! I just hope it lasts as it was a PITA to fit!

And also, blue footwell lights, instead of the red ones i had in there! Waiting for it to get dark to try them out!

Your car looks excellent mate, pictures look good with the red contrast of the poppys and the bright green in the background. i love the grills and the alloys, next time your taking a picture from that angle mate turn the steering wheel the other direction so we can see more of those alloys :wub:

Looks awesome mate, make sure you get the interior night pics up, looking at putting blue footwells in mine ;)
