Jimibland Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Hey,So after saving for ages I bought this car back in August at vw festival, its my first car. Some of you may know him already as 'Oscar'. Over the past few months I've been learning to drive in it, I past my test last week so now the build thread can start! When I got the car it was already on coil overs and was already super clean. This is what I've done so far!I took these photos a couple of days after I purchased the car!So the first mod was some different wheel trims, some old merc ones I found in my grandads garage.Next after a few weeks of running the merc trims I managed to get my hands on some gotti cups. These will be on the car until spring when I get the wheels I really want!Sorry for the rubbish photo I haven't managed to get a decent one yet. Stay tuned for more updates!

raduczoid Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I love the color! Is it a violet-ish or it's just the matter of lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimibland Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi everyone, I've neglected this thread for a few weeks so just a quick update. The RMs came back from paint earlier in the week. After a night of building them back up followed by sealing I'm pretty happy with the results. My tyres are getting fitted tomorrow, decided to go with a little bit of stretch with 165/50! Can't wait to see what they look like on the car now. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimibland Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 And another pic during the build up! The dishes are really dirty too after touching with mucky mitts all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimibland Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Today I managed to get mt new wheels onto the car, very happy with the results. Just in time for the 1st show of the season, spring dubs tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimibland Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Today was the first show of the season and my first ever show in my own car. It was spring dubs in harrogate I was on the FittedUk stand and had a blast. Here's a pics from today. I plan on spacing the back out a little bit, hopefully before ultimate dubs!

Jimibland Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 So just before ultimate dubs I seem to have a leaking split :-( It seemed fine over the past week I've been checking the pressure every morning but suddenly went flat during the day! Unfortunately that means the bbs will be staying at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimibland Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Not posted on here for a while but I've been having a problem with one of my wheels not holding air. I've fully stripped it down, cleaned and re-sealed so hopefully it will hold. I'm going to elscar mega meet a week Monday so fingers crossed it will be all sorted for then.
