Tigz™ Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I tend to agree mate, its a pretty rare car, I would think you would limit your market by changing the wheel colour from standard.Cool car though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty_Gti Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 cannot wait to hear the vroooom tshhhh!! which tips come with the milltek system? where will you go for the exhaust to be fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Umm they're the same shape as standard but bigger, fill the gap in the bumper a bit more.The Forge BOV with blanking plate should give more of a rally car chirp than a baggy woosh of air.Currently trying to persuade Awesome Gti to fit it, failing that l've got a tame specialist in Manchester that l can take it to.

Poobah Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thankyou kindly!Eventually l'll dump it on some coilovers but at £1000 they're a bit pricey at the minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poobah Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks alot mate, really tempted to be honest.

Matty_Gti Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 i was againsed the black wheels to start with but now i have seen them i think they look very nice, definetly set off the blue, i presume they will be hard to keep clean tho?

Poobah Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) I tend to get a bit "OCD" about cleaning my car so don't suppose that'll be a problem!The wife recons it looks a bit "kev" but l quite like it. Need to see it from another angle l think.............. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />I actually looked into a set of 19" Comp Mo 6 spokes in black for it............or would that look random?!?

Poobah Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Legend mate. I'm in total agreement about the badges. The handles make it look random. Although l do like the front badge. I think the coilovers and black wheels will have to go ahead now........just wondering do you think l can get away with doing the black wheels before l get the coilovers? Can't really afford to do both at the same time as the coilovers are muchos dollars for this. KW only do the varient 3 kit for it....:-| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I think you could get away without lowering it on the black wheels, as they aren't completely different to the standards, its only the trained eye that will notice they are different, which is a good thing. Variant 3s will cost you a bomb! Can you not get a decent 40mm spring and shock setup as they seem pretty low at the back anyway and from the pics it only looks as though you need to sort the front height out.The more i looked at your car when i was changing it in photoshop the more i liked it, it is so nice and that colour is awesome, i can't wait to see the transformation start to take place. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 looks good. what about doing those door badges in body colour? its probably the best option to tie it all in.v3's should be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
