Title: PIC'S AS PROMISED OF MY VR6 - FINALLY CLEANED UP
Post by: DECKED-MK3-DUB on 28 February 2010, 19:30: Finnaly got some pic's of my vr6 after a good clean and i also fitted my coil over kit, currently running 120mm drop, cought the front splitter 2 times and cracked the corner once :cry:... had the tracking all set up on a fancy 4 post ramp with laser tracking built into it, so handels a treat....

Next mods are, smoked front fogs/indicators and morrette twin head light conversion and ditch that barry boy grill.. :wink:

Comments welcome....

Agreed its to low but looks good otherwise......and unlike some i think the grill looks good and with the quads will look better.

Post by: VR6-Joe on 28 February 2010, 20:31: 120mm? Mine's 120mm on 16's and looks the same as that, if not lower! As I've just changed to a US splitter for extra clearance!

Post by: DECKED-MK3-DUB on 28 February 2010, 20:36: I was wondering what the grill would look like if it did keep it with the twin head lights ?, maybe it might look good, i dunno... I haven't seen any other golf with a grill like that, it's got sws written accross the top when u open bonnet and a bill in service history for £137.99 for it :rolleyes:

Gonna get some smoked front fog/indicators
twin head lights
Smoked side repeaters
new b sting ariel as mine fell off at 120 mph down the m5 :laugh:

Also want a stainless steel system but i don't want it loud, my middle box is blowing and the back box looks gay so i'm thinking of a cat back system - any body got any good idea's on that ??

Cheers....

So far i've been lucky, had it this low for 2 weeks and sump aint touched once, i do want to raise it up a tad, prob go 100 mm drop, touch more on the back...

Post by: Mikester on 02 March 2010, 21:58: I like it that low, although i would be tempted to raise the rear a little, as it looks a bit rear rake atm.

But nice ride.

Post by: azzrobz on 03 March 2010, 00:36: Looking at the grill, I think you might pull it off with the morette's, put some pics up when their on, that'll be the decider, maybe we could have a vote? :grin: lol only messing, its your car m8.
