UPDATE 07/05/12

Long time no speak and all that jazz, Thought id give you a bank holiday monday update.

Ive been hoarding alot back recently due to having hardly anytime free time.

I managed to bag myself a bit of a bargain , anyone want to guess what 


I also managed to break my drivers side bora vent  , Basically the slates have got a tiny plastic pin on each end which is attached to a lobe which inturn follows the control of opening/closing mechanism... yep I maganged to break alot of them off which just used to annoy me so I purchased another one


some other bits I have been hoarding


Yep you probably guessed right, genuine brushed ali


Also managed to sort out the wiring for the w8 light so its a simple plug and play 


I thought Id try and be a bit original here and im quite pleased with the outcome, normally im not a big fan of the stuff but I think this is a nice subtle finish 




Also aquired a OEM POLO aerial of a forum member


General over look of the interior currently





Big thumbs up for wazzer for organsing the groub buy on these, shame it didnt end to well always one who ruins things 
15mm spacers, 10mm spacers x20 m14 x1.5 x 42mm wheel bolts


Have absolutely fallen in love with the plates  cant stop looking at them


Mr postman turned up not long after with my rockor 35mm lowering springs & 2 meters of 4mm silicone pipe


Let the stance work begin

Front before


Front after



Rear before


Rear after


Desperately after a 25th anni splitter then I can officialy say I love my front end haha


and the rear


got half way doing my suspension after using the how to guide to realise that the front topmount bushes are looking alot worse for ware so i had to postbone that but on a happy note I got to take a trip out to the dealers 


so I plan to re attempt the suspension next weekend.

I also have something coming from across the pond which should be here in the next few weeks  anyone want to take a guess?

all comments and critisism welcome

cheers

Some very nice parts youve got there love the door handles very nice along with a very sweet looking mk4 that will look even better once its lowered..

[thai-wronghorse]

All very tasteful stuff so far and good thread updates too. Keep it up man.

[Podge92]

i need to get a job in jcb, im 19 aswell man, i have a mk3 1.4, not the best looking one in the world, looking to upgrade to a mk4, mayby run this mk3 into the ground, however its a nice solid shell, but with them so cheap i could probably get a well sorted one for what it would cost me to get it looking right.
i could never dream of affording to insure a 1.8 this year!

any way man it looks lovely and by the looks of things has had a lot of work done already, much has it skinned you ?

[Mr GTD]

Just read thro this thread and it's all looking good pal, LMAO to what your work colleagues did with your turbo...
You need to do something with those seats tho!

Keep up the good work

If that's genuine R32 trim where's the cup holder logo?

[AD1.8T]

As above mate there should be a little cup on the cup holder i think it might be net optic stuff thats been sanded down as they look to smooth ie no grainy lines if that makes sence?? Hope you never paid over the odds dude ! Either way mahoosive upgrade from wood lol and i like the little carbon twist

[andynorfolk]

loving the updates man, bit disappointed you opted for springs ant not coilies though
