max West-York Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 cheersso what was up with the door? any pics?well it looks like it had been opened into a wall by prev owner but when I had bought it was covered by those bump stop/guard things and I made the school boy error of not taking them off to have a look If you look at prev pics you can see a slight light difference right next to the drivers door handle where it had been cracked and slightly bent, fixed now though, no close up pics unfortunately! After seeing this I'm guna have to get a retrim done now This is very nice! Not a fan of the dash but loving the trim!it's a lot less lairy in real life ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 like this! the red leather works really well with the silver. im not really a fan of smooth bumpers though, just think it make the indicator suround look too 'busy'. good wheels set up!

max West-York Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Bit of an update since my last one,Chassis has been notchedAPs to replace old TAs - 50mm lower front with helpers still in and 5mm left on the tread and 10mm lower on the backSplitters been taken offCompos have been repolished to get rid of all the lacquer chips from the previous factory finish diamond cut, now its easier for me to keep up to Anyway,VW fest was this weekend and was awesome,Still looking for pictures of mine, we hardly took any of our own cars when we were there, feel free to post pics in here if you have any!This is all I have atmFront doesn't scrub at all, apart from the wheels bottoming out on the shell inside the arch on really bad bumpsBacks rub on bumps but just need to get rid of my bumper mounts to sort that so all in due time Didn't have much time to clean the car as I literally finished the Saturday morning and had to drive over so didn't even rinse it down, so it was pretty dirty at the festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
