Ok........bit of an update!

The car is now completely changing! AGAIN

I have just purchased the VW touring car wide arch kit for the golf, this includes front,rear bumpers, touring car spoiler, wide arches! Which means i can run a much wider wheel base! I can run upto an 11j rear wheel set up, and 10j front set up.

The kit should arrive from Germany on Tuesday hopefully! The kit involves major fabrication so will keep you all updated when i can! Alls i can say is shes going to look wide!

Bit of an update!

Things are now starting to come together! Pix will come soon !

I have just booked my trailer B+E Licence course on the 3rd 4th and 5th July so i can start trailoring the golf to track days and shows!

My adaptors are now being custom made for the wheels so they should arrive next week. As the wheels are Jap they were a PCD 114, so i have now got adaptors made to make them PCD100.

I bought some tyres today! I knew the tyres were going to be expensive for the wheels as they are so bloody wide, but i had to get some good ones!

So i picked up some R888's all round today! So getting them fitted this week onto the wheels!

I need to rake up the suspension at some point this week just so i can actually get the wheels on. As at the moment its too low for the wheels to go on .

Updates to follow soon

Hi all

Got some photos off my mate today from the convoy down at Ultimate Dubs 2010.

As you may know the car is now under serious work ,as the car is literally being cut up to fit the wide arch kit! But found these photos, as to be honest made wonder why on earth i change things all the time.

I think it looks superb on these shots! And to be honest im normally the most critical person about my car.

But hey, how life would be boring if everything stayed the same! I have to move on lol! Project number 2 is not so far away! Fitting the new wheels this week hopefully!

Hi guys!

Thought it was about time i got some pix of the wheels and the current progress on the build! My goal for the project completion is Edition 38! But we will have to see! the wide arch kit should hopefully be done by mid July!

Anyway, here are the new pix of the wheels! WIDE lol.

They are of course the Rotar grid drift with r888 tyres!

The car is DUSTy as sh*t! But not to worry! Will be sorted and cleaned soon!

and yeah the car is high as sh!t as i put the standard suspension on just so i could get the wheels under the arches! That will be sorted soon too lol!

My first pic is epic! Just to see my mates confusion at the width lol!
