End result is so nice. Its one of those changes you make that you keep noticing every time you look at the car. Seriously satisfying, its been eating at me since I bought it. Some black glue still on the paint to this day, need to hit it with some bug and tar remover. Passenger side isn't perfect but no amount of manipulation would fix it. I just left it, as its not glued in I might try to fix another time.

One thing I noticed on the car the first time I saw it was the terrible state of the window seal trims. The front windscreen is totally missing and the rear just looked horrible. Here's how it looked and it was killing me every time I looked at the back of the car. The other issue was that somebody had glued these pieces on which was a real mess. Anyway, once they were all off I gave the glass and the car underneath a good clean and then a spray with silicon to assist in getting the new trims on.

I need to get pics of my interior changes... But, I totally had enough of my seats. They were horribly uncomfortable and like sitting on a bench. I got some absolutely mint M-Sport seats. They are soft and the leather is gorgeous. Lots of left and right thigh support and an extended thigh base at the front. They also have air-filled bolsters though if you are larger than the average 3 year old you may need to leave them empty as they get seriously tight. I also picked up a BMW Individual steering wheel! Its so fricken cool though a little banged up. I'm trying to bring it back to its former glory but its already so much nicer to drive with than the bus wheel that was in it before.

I just realised how long its been since I updated this. So, I'll add what I've done since March. Oh, also, my VVT motor is leaking oil into the spark plug holes #3 & #4. Its not much of a leak but its causing the odd miss which is irritating me. Been quoted $800 but it looks pretty straight forward and might give it a go myself. Also, during my must-keep-warranty 6 month oil change my intake pipe was noticed to be not entirely attached allowing unmetered air into the engine. This was fixed which made the car a little more responsive. I changed my angel eye bulbs to LED's. I purposefully didn't get stupidly overpowered ones as I didn't want the angel eyes to be like little suns, I just wanted them whiter than the halogens and slightly more noticable. Here's drivers side done, but not passenger. Fairly different, passenger doesn't even appear on. Both done in the daylight. Here they are at night. Not bright enough to light anything up, which was the desired effect.

Bit more specific may help.

Hell yes it does!

Damn! Looking really good!

Shittiest Amazon description ever. I have no idea what that does even after reading that page.

The first thing I noticed was the papa bear and baby bear differences.

Gorgeous! I came very close to buying one of these.

Nice! I bet its nice to drive now!

Y'all with sporty wagons better get your pics on.

I bet that was satisfying!

Are they both yours? THey look great!

Looks really good! Well done!

Welcome! Looks clean! What are your plans?

Come on! More updates!

Congratulations. And ... commissaries. Whats next?

Come on, no need to be like that. People are subscribed to this thread (myself included) which says the exact opposite!

Looks much better. I love the new clean headlights fad. I've been hating cloudy headlights my entire life and theres nothing better than seeing the improvement after somebody has cleaned their lights up.

Thanks, fixed.

Welcome to ! Is the car in the States now?

Yes! Can't go past a white R33 GTR!! Looking forward to the updates.

What a brilliant project! It looks all cosmetic. Nice work, I look forward to updates.

Golf R Wagon is bloody hot. I think @GoldZilla has one, maybe he can chime in.
