They're from Travelin lite and they're £465. Absolute beauties.

I replaced my drivers door loom bellows today. Wasn’t too bad a job to do, though I wasn’t looking forward to removing the pins on the connector. I also managed to sort an annoying rattle out, and get a pic of my dashcam I fitted the other week.

How did you find cutting back the domes? Did you just take an angle grinder to it?

It's something I need to do so I can gain access to my top mounts(I'm not the only person), but scared to death of actually doing it!

Needed to soften the dampening on the front suspension and as I couldn't get access to the top mounts had to take off the stupid scuttle panel thing! An hour later and it was all back togetherImage

Gutted! Really am gutted. Found the paint flaking after 2 weeks on the side strips and door handles. Had them ‘properly’ done , - gave him non textured ones as well.
Taking it back to him to sort.Image

@Lamby00 mine did exactly the same and after me panicking about it and speaking to others it seems to be quite a normal thing to happen (although I never seen it before till it happens to me). I ended up going to vw buying new strips and going back to plastic... I did treat them to Gtechniq C4 before fitting to make them ultra black though

Ah ok, cheers guys. I did pay quite a lot of money for it to be done, I just wasn’t expecting paint to come off in my hands from them after 2 weeks. They just look so rushed on the tops and bottoms
