Title: Sliver mk3 Git
Post by: adzgti3 on 02 May 2010, 13:28
Well will start with a picture of the car on the day i bought it, in october last year, after looking at few mk3 , this one stood out from the rest , the condtion excellent , not a single dent or bit of rust to be seen. So parted company with the money and drove it home, very pleased with it , have had peugeots all my life before this , so not use to the quality of german cars!!  :tongue:

As being at Uni in plymouth , funds wernt in my favour so the modifcations were slow at start and pictures of the progress were far a few bewteen.  :undecided:

But anyways he a picture of how it looks now , not the best picture but was from a phone.

(http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss83/arsenalyeovilpug/DSC00312-1.jpg)

Got fair few plans for it, just figuring out the right set of wheels for it first.  :undecided:


Also Thought share what the car looks like at this secound aswell.
(http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss83/arsenalyeovilpug/DSC00313.jpg)

Is like this as the coilovers are off as the springs went completly rusty on them so took them back to performance 3000 and to get them replaced free of charge as only had them for 4 months and been coated with protection so wil have to wait till till wednesday  :angry: ,


More progress coming soon!!  :cool:

I think that being as the cars silver I reakon you will pull it off with the pepper pots or even the newer bettle steels would look sweet on this simler type of wheel to the pepper pot and 16" I think ill have a look if I can find a piccy  :wink:

Found some piccys and there on a silver mk3 aswell which was a stunning car

Title: Re: Sliver mk3 Git!!!
Post by: DrewGTI on 10 May 2010, 20:57

Title: Re: Sliver mk3 Git!!!
Post by: adzgti3 on 10 May 2010, 21:02
yeah know what you mean,

could do the main bit red , black , green  :shocked: , orange , yellow ect ect.

as defo want to keep the lip sliver as will go with the car then.
Title: Re: Sliver mk3 Git!!!
Post by: DrewGTI on 10 May 2010, 21:10
how about lip and audi bit chrome and rest grey?  :huh:
Title: Re: Sliver mk3 Git!!!
Post by: adzgti3 on 10 May 2010, 21:14

cheers for the comments, so glad did the sliver lip breaks up the blue.

just decided what tyres to get

195/50/15's
or
195/45/15's

50's cheaper to get with the better choice in brands, 45's just give slighty lower profile but limited on choice!!  :undecided:

Tyres ordered 195/50/15's.  Will be getting the alloys/tyres fitted wednesday , so hopefully will get some pictures up on wednesday once fitted.

Now debating maybe to get the roof sprayed black.  :undecided: 


Think with the blue alloys going on , some blue and black concept leather will suit well.

Could work, maybe a change of headlights and other lights for something a little more clearer. i find the black and blue isn't sitting as well together. Although i do like the idea of blue slats.

You could even go for blue hoses and stuff like that, just so you have something to get it started.

I think you should go for it with the blue slats in the grill, if it looks sh!t, just do it black again, worth a try I reckon?

By the way, silver happens to be the best colour for a mk3 :afro:

*Grill Slats

This is what my suggestion would be: (can tell me to fook off as it's your car!  :grin:)

Grill Slats - Silver
Wing mirrors - Silver
Rear Boot Badge - Blue
Roof - Blue and Silver Chequered

That way you will keep the blue in layers rather then spread out.


Shady - can you do a photoshop of all the suggestion? Don't say you don't have time as you can make a sandwich and then start a thread about it  :drool:  :grin: :grin: :grin:
