right picked up the new rims for the car yesterday and gave them a little mini refurb as two had some bad curbing - after a little wet and dry and some new paint they look ok! there not my first choice of wheel but they will do until i buy some more maybe next year, i am in no rush mind! the car really needs to be lower to set the wheels off better but the kit should be here soon.

hey all, well the new coilovers came today. they dont look too bad for the money i paid but i guess only time will tell, cant wait to get the vr on its ass! :grin:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/Toofunkyhouse/DSC00465.jpg)
-
took a few pics of the vr today, the colilovers have made the car handle 100 times better, it may be a little too low as the front wheels keep rubbing on the inner palstic arches. might try and take these out next week, also removed the golf badge and am going to re-spray the vr6 badge matt black to match the other badges.

right got a few new things comming or to go on, first my new smoked/crystal fogs and indicators, my old ones where all broken and full of water. They dont look too bad and i have used some silicone to try and seal them better as i know they can let water in. Once fitted i wasnt 100% on how they sit but i will have a go at them tomorrow and get some pics up of them on the car. Also waiting for a shoran type bee sting as i cut mine down and now cant pic up any radio! lol :rolleyes:

next up - de-locking the doors - i bought a pair of mk3 rear handles from GSF and as i had a bit of chili red spray paint left over i have colour coded the new handles!
gave them a good rub down then used some palstic primer
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/Toofunkyhouse/DSC00603.jpg)
then top coat and laquer, they have come out well and i will be fitting them soon
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/Toofunkyhouse/DSC00604.jpg)
a nice cheap mod that looks good :smiley:
-
right handles are on and look great, new metal plates have come. i am hoping that i wont get any bother as i have GB logo's, the plates are UK font and are reflective, i really cant see what the old bill can say?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/Toofunkyhouse/DSC00605.jpg)
-
right bit of an up-date, plates are on, had a few coppers behind me and overtaken a couple of traffic cars on m-way with no problems (so far) - also bought a Vibe 10" sub with amp off a mate for £30 quid :smug: looks a little tatty but sounds sweet as, so got a little boom in the back! lol :smiley:
getting a new drivers side wing fitted on friday
-
right, just fitted some green led's in to my clocks as one of the bulbs had blown so couldnt really see the speedo. Decided to paint the needles orange whilst i was at it and they look pritty good and i can now see everything at night! :smiley:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/Toofunkyhouse/DSC00011.jpg)
also fitted some new front vents which i got off bored welsh lad! (cheers buddy!! :wink:) and a chrome trim that goes round the gear stick gator!
-
few pics of the car now i have given her a wash, fitted the new vents which dont look too bad, not sure if i should spray them or not at the mo also need a new front splitter tbh as i have skuffed it up a bit and it has never really fitted the way i wanted but i will sort one out at some point! pics off my new phone so seem a tad dark :huh:

just fitted a k&n into me moded air box
-
right fitted some more 'tat' :rolleyes: fed up of the bland cabin so i have fitted a brushed metal surround into the clocks, not 100% on it but it does 'bling' things up a bit :tongue:

right, got a new front wing fitted today, went through e-panels who spray the parts before fitting and can send out in the post or fit on site. Now for the cost of £150 they fitted and sprayed the new wing which is alot cheaper than most body shops round wycombe so i was very happy, the colour match is bang on which i was worried about but i guess the car hasnt faded much! :grin:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/Toofunkyhouse/DSC00023-1.jpg)
they have said they can provide a new tailgate and spray it for £250, so might go down this route soon!
-
next on the hit list is my new gear nob (couldnt resist the 8 ball vibe!! :grin:), both the old nob and wheel are looking like they have done 130k so will be swapping both at some point!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/Toofunkyhouse/DSC00036-1.jpg)
just need to get a mini tie rap to sucure the gator top at some point! :wink:
-
well fitted a new splitter as i had buggered the other one up and it never really fitted the way i wanted it to, got a one off ebaya and seems fine now! also fitted the new black vw badge that had fallen out!lol :rolleyes: Gave the car a really good clean and polish the other day in our summer like weather! :cool:

well as i found a nail in one of my tyres that couldnt be fixed i have started to refurb my rims, sprayed them merc silver, turned ok even though i did get a little dirt here and there in the paint but hey they didnt cost much so i am not too bothered. 1 down, 3 to go! lol :grin:
the rest have tyres on so will be a bit more of a pain i guess!

well today i took off the throttle body, maf and pipes to see if they where dirty. Cleaned all the oil out of the pipe and also took my dremel to the throttle body and smoothed and flowed it a bit and got it spotless. will see if it gets rid of the codes and also if it adds any performance! :smiley:
-
