buy yourself a spare rocker cover and give it a go... anyone can do it, you just have to be patient.
i was thinking of maybe a black battery cover, because my battery tray is mankey with rust, and I can't remove it to fix it
think i might have to try you know! Haven't sorted an induction kit yet though...
you can get those metal (come in chrom aswell) battery covers, give that some of the magic paint and it'll look great!

Very nice mate, I love the alloys.
If you can get it lower and change the rear lights to something more OE that would look awesome imo.

Headlights and inidcators were heated up around the sealed parts, and then seperated the cover. Some people spray the whole indicator, but I only did the side and flat section, to match the headlights.
Sand down, some primer, let it dry, some colour, let it dry, some lacquer.. then put it back together along with some sealent to make avoid steaming up!
Btw- when doing the headlights, only spray the strip that extends out from the cluster- don't spray the reflectors next to the bulbs!

Thanks mate (love your mk2 btw :worship: ) Only problem with going lower, is at the moment i already have scraping problems.. with the exhaust manifold
Major concern is when I go back to Uni, I'll be living in accomdation with a one way system around it.. with tonnes of speed bumps.. it would be scrape city, but I *know* it would so much better just a tiny bit lower
As for tail lights.. I guess OE is the way for euro, I have a spare set for my MOT.. which is this week. I'll see how I feel once they are on.
