dannyboi Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) Finally got a few little updatesCars been driving me crazy since i got it with mechanical problems which ive had to end up spending over £300 to fix now ive found out its got all the symptoms of a broken pedal box and VW wont to it as good will as i havent got full service history which is epic fail o well lets move on to the good stuffPicked up a new front end from a member of the forum as the last one wasnt pretty to say the least so that sorted that problem Picked up some recaros from a member on here also which im really impressed with , it feels like im being hugged every time i drive it also got a custom backbox made and had it angled to be different from the norm de-wipered the rear and sprayed the badges blackGave her a good old detail with DoDo juice supernatural clay , DoDo juice born to be mild , Sonus final finish polish and DoDo juice Purple haze wax and it came up like a baby's bum just a shame about a few carpark dents here and there but they will be sorted very soon Here's some pics of how its looking atm C+C welcomeNext up will be sorting the wheels out .. i still havent chosen the right wheel for the car yet as i want it to be something very different from the norm so holding out .. in the mean time im going to put 155/55/14 tyres on space the wheels out 25-30mm to give it abit of stance and slam it , only thing about slamming it is that the front is on TA coilies but the rear is on bliestien springs which dont make no sense to me so that will be another next on the list also.on the look out for some blue centred tim tom rear seats so i can get the interior looking half decent aswell Edited June 6, 2010 by dannyboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
