Matty_Gti Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 looking very nice, the detailing looks good to, want mine doing after most of the bad weather has passed, where are you based? thought about buying a pc but waiting for the 240v UDM to come out.Do you have lowered suspension at all? Get some adaptors and them rims on ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm based in South Wales, but don't do it full time. Just here and there. The UDM is going to be the must have tool for 2008 i think. No suspension as yet, but will have coilies by Too soon to talk about this time of year! hopefully. Not going to bother with the wheels until well into next year now due to weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Pugh Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Probably the last mod before Santa visits, and courtesy of vworks (cheers mate!)... the red grill trim. Not the best of pics as the weather was worse than *****, but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Done a few little mods since my last update. I had a PiperX filter off my brother for Xmas. I fitted it but was using the standard cold air feed and another temporary feed while I ordered some proper ducting. Then a BMC came up for grabs, so not wanting to miss an opportunity (or perhaps have my cake and eat it!!) I snapped it up. I wanted to see how it compared to the PiperX, but now it's fitted the performance is quite noticable.The cold air feed sits nicely down behind the front grill.I also bought an engine cover (there wasn't one on the car when I bought it) and that now tidies up the bay a bit. It's a shame it covers the BMC, but I don't like the look without it and I don't want to cut it. Edited January 27, 2008 by Huw Pugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 The other little mod of the month was the loss of a cupholder and addition of a cointray. I can control my ipod through my headunit, so i thought I'd modify the cointray to hold my nano safely out of sight. It had previously been in the cubby below the headunit.The rear of the tray needed some minor cutting for the cable..Job doneJust waiting for my colies now and that'll be another mod ticked off.

Huw Pugh Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 We went for a little mid week jaunt up to Stroud this week. The reason: new rear lightage. Inside the smoked section was a little orange piece of plastic. A brief encounter with a soldering iron, and it was bye bye orangeyness.

L119 UPO Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Looking very swish mate, also the good old piping from VWworks. I think everyone will have some soon but it's all good LOL.Need some cambridge rears myself, they just make the rear look so much nicer and strangly update the look.You know you could buy an ipod dock and fit that into the coin tray, but on the other hand i think it's better out of sight, plus you can have your earphones tucked in there too.Threads like these make me want to have a big blowout and buy a becker and the ipod mod, and a sub/components. The standard system is lacking big time. Edited March 2, 2008 by L119 UPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Pugh Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Cheers guys. The original plan was to put an Ipod dock in there, but when I thought about it, it made sense to keep the ipod tucked way. Its all controlled through the headunit so I dont need access to the ipod. Plus when I nip to the shops, I only need to pop the face off the headunit and can leave the ipod hidden.Yeah the car is tucked away in the day time, I don't use it for work. But I am around and about in the evenings though, usually on my way to my mates in the Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaRNi! Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 when you turn your engine off, does your ipod turn itself off? or do you have to turn it off yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Pugh Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 It's been a few weeks since my last update so it's about time I added another mod. First up, i'm going to bore you with some more clean car pics, just becuase...And so... on to the next mod...I've been in 2 minds about lowering the car as I'm quite liking the ride comfort. It's stiff enough to handle, but soft enough to be comfortable. However, as much as I liked it, I knew in the long run it'd need to come down once the wheels went on. Naturally only coilies would do and a good few weeks ago these arrived:A little call to my mate and we got them fitted up this weekend.Midway through And now sitting nice and low.Unfortunately it would seem I sucked at picture taking this weekend, so will try and get some better pics up another time.
