Not too bad really this was wheel number 1 so trial and error really. I didn't put any on the tread. Once it dries a washing up sponge clears the paint straight off. just have to make sure 100 percent of the wheel you are spraying doesn't even have a molecule of fairy on it! Lol

I did a home-brew refurb on my alloys too. VW United Grey paint and lacquer applied through a spray gun.

Nice job
Re spraying the wheels and removing curb damage is one of the first jobs I always do on a 2nd hand car. It makes so much difference to the look.
Very smart mate! What other mods have you done to it? Just got mine recently and only had a remap and changed the aerial to a stubby one... Needs more ha. Are they bigger rotors at the front?

I've been meaning to to the Ariel! which one do you have?
other mods are:
Stage 1 tweaked now running 185hp 310ft/lbs (turbo pretty much maxed)
pipercross panel filter
miltek decat,
as you mentioned- 312 brakes oem pads/discs (imho excellent!)
ss fmic with custom pipework (pretty much same as forge)
pd160 intake (no power increase weirdly makes crawling in traffic easier on the clutch)
alarm beeps through vagcom
selective locking deactivated (all doors unlock together now)
leon FR gearknob
colorcoded plastic foglight housing
edge speakers thoughout the rear
3d numberplates (St george flag-
polo rear wiper
20mm spacers rear
Other plans hybrid turbo and RARB.
Cant really think of anything else i have done tbh.

Just have a genetic stubby aerial from eBay. Really wanted an s2000 one or C2 but couldn't really find any. You've got a lot of good mods there!
I've only got the pd100. Wish I had the 130. They seem to be very upgradeable. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Nothing wrong with a pd100 mate, the guy I bought the intercooler from had his pd100 running around 200hp, just need injectors and turbo really and the same stuff like pd130 owners e.g. clutch intercooler etc
It would be quite tempting but then you need new brakes and rotors etc. Wouldn't even know where to source a new turbo or even which to get and the same with injectors.
