Max69vk Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Looking good, though have you never worried that it'l come back and look *too* smooth? I don't think so, but it'd certainly cross my mind having that much done in one go! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />No your right, when it first went in the plan was to keep the line that runs down the side of the car & seperates the uppper & lower sections of the bumper. By the time I'd chatted with the guys in the garage they were more excited about doing the car than I was, & so it became more a situation of 'in for a penny, in for a pound'! The only concession to total smoothness was the door handles & that was only because I've seen what happens when door pop kits fail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Still a nice car Max, like jon i think it will be too smooth to be honest and end up slab sided, with the skirts it would of distracted the eyes away from this and i did think you were replacing these not remving them totally? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> also having seperate top and smoothed bottom bumpers like mine was what made yours stand out and to be honest looked much beter than carters full smoothed examples style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> maybe ill feel different when i see it all in paint but at the moment im not too keen, either way if you like it then thats all that really matters and its good to see your still keeping the project going and not giving up like others style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whistle:" border="0" alt="whistle.gif" /> so good luck with itand get more photos especially the painting picswayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69vk Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 @ Ricoshay; Hopefully early next week, there was a leaking roof at the shop & the water managed to come through & blow the oven electrics! @TSM; I had some reservations about going totally smooth as the only car I know of thats had it done over here is Cliffords GTI. Carters arosa wasnt totally smooth as it still had the side repeaters, 3rd brake light & swage lines down the side of the car, if anything it was seeing a side shot of his car that convinced me to get rid of the skirts, personally the more I looked at it & mine I realised how stupid it looked having a really low side profile but bumper heights that were a good few inches higher at the front & the rear. On top of that Im planning on running the car permanantly low not just dropping it low when its at a standstill so the sideskirts would have been ****ed in 5 minutes! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Car's lookin smooth and tasty max style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> keep up the good work style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> anything else planned ?119hp? Cracking figure which makes yours the most powerful 1.4 TDI on here doesn't it?Nah Max's was 116bhp after the Jabbamap ... i had a copy of his graph on my PC, Mine was 117bhp, i remember this because mine was only 0.8bhp more than max'sUnfortunately, I am lead to believe that YJ02 VOK has been written off and scrapped style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> The vrm system at work is bringing it up as "Scrapped" i hope to god its not true, but tbh... I wouldn't be overly suprised if it was. Edited July 31, 2007 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavs_arosa16v Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 That is going to look soo good with the rims on and all polished up. You must be well chuffed. Cant wait to see it all back together. Makes me want to sort out mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im toying with the idea of lopping off the rear box & using one of these , now before anyone says it I know this is quite a large tip but at the moment I have twin 3" pipes with a 1/2" gap between them so it will be identical size + the slash cut matches the angle of the lower bumper perfectly style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
