Andy's mk4 votex 1.8 Turbo
« on: 07 February 2011, 19:07 »
how it all started. day 1 -





this is my first VW so please go steady on me  :smiley: well having only just found this area of the site i thought i'd start a bit of a project thread. half of the things i want to do have been done to the car (owned it 8 months), and i'm hoping to finish most of it by june/july. so the car as it is now:






since owning it i've lowered it 40mm, fitted a g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch, fitted a cai, had it mapped by r-tech (stage 1 and made 192bhp) and had various bits sprayed (spoiler, splitters etc)

and the future plans are:

window tints, 10mm spacers all round, get the rear end lower then fit uprated shocks, 18 inch bbs LM's, then a cat back exhaust system, decat, front mount intercooler and fit polybushes all round. its going to be an expensive 6 months! but i've kept putting things off until now so it's my own fault!

some progress today anyway, managed to find a set of rear coilover springs and the adjuster cups. should be able to sort the nosedive out once they arrive!

thanks for reading and il try my best to keep it up to date

Nah, go for subtle stuff, light tints on the lights and windows, maybe find another colour for details to break it up?  bit of red here and there maybe... that's the route I'll be taking with my little toy anyway.

Thats looking really good mate, i've been tempted to repray my badges black aswell but just been unsure whether too  :undecided:, i have gone for two colours with mine but its shown more under the bonnet with yellow detailing, and i'm gonna be doing my calipers the same once the weathers a bit nicer  :cool:
