Dom's Mk4 Story So Far - it's all over!

do they not offer a same day service on the wheels 

Nah, they said a 3 day turnaround which is fine. It also means that whenever I come to sell the car I've got a set that I can stick back on and I can sell the CHs separately

I only paid £40 for the set so they were a bargain!

they were a bargain  wee place i use is 40 quid extra for a same day service drop the car at 9am get it back anytime after 4pm  you picked a colour for the bbs wheels

Not decided on a colour yet, going to wait until I drop the wheels off and have a look at the colours they have. It'll probably just be a shade of silver.

Yeah, it won't just be a boring finish...there will have to be something a bit special about it

candy red then or candy blue

Not a huge amount to report, the car took a battering the other night on a speed bump so got it up on a ramp to take a look.

A little bit battered:



Also popped a CV joint clip off:



And some oil leaking from the IC pipework onto the driveshaft:



Took the pipe off and checked inside, luckily it was clean so turbo is ok.

Then driving home, managed to blow the same pipe off when joining a dual carriageway. Matt at OCD came to the rescue with a jack!



Wheels are going to the powdercoaters tomorrow along with my spare inlet manifold and rocker cover, then I'm heading to OCD for a pair of wheel bearings and replacement CV.

I've also got new lower arms with TT bushes, new ball joints, drop links and track rod ends to fit. That lot should tighten up the front end a bit.

Your car needs a clean

Your car needs a clean 

 

It's in 'winter' mode, it's covered in loads of wax so will all clean up nicely

It will looks strange without the CHs on it tomorrow

Standard wheels = sleeper mode

[barrym381]

[dom]

Standard wheels = sleeper mode

True

what colour are the bbs going then 

Still not decided, I'll wait and see what colours they have in when I drop them off!
