Jaybo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just read this thread from start to finish and all I can say is epic. The car is a credit to you mate and so glad to see someone else loving my 2 favorite wheels of all time, ie the arrows and the polaris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks. Latest addition is a Recaro seat BUT for my son to use.It is quite a good match to the Recaro trim I have already and would not have anything else in the GTI LOLOtherwise nothing much else new and floating with moving it on to get an A4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningsextornado Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 also just read the diary from start to finish and so much thought has gone into it, i personally love the mods youve made pal, you should be proud.i envy the voltmeter however...my alternator has just died and it would have been a lifesaver if i could predict that happening keep up the good work i hope you keep it!!

Mike_M Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well I got a set of BBS RX alloys, sold the otiginal tyres on them as they were too big and then got cleaning them up as best I could using t-cut and Meg polish in my spare time. I then fitted my spare tyre set of 195/40/16 Falken 912 tyres to them and took some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Love it, you thought of spacing the back a little ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah there is currently a 6mm spacer on rear but it catches if i put my 15mm ones on when fully loaded and cant be bothered with the hastle of rubbing or getting arches rolled.........it's practical at the moment.
