They look nice and expensive no doubt but are they actually necessary on a mk3?

It's necessary to made upper camber to have safe clearence between S2 felgen and coilover

It would be easier to use a smaller tyre or wheel spacers.

No, it wouldn't. His wheels are wide, so he needs the camber not only to get some arch clearance but also keep the inner of the rim away from the coil/adjuster rings.
How are £150 camber plates easier/cheaper than buying new tyres and or hubcentric spacers as well?
His way makes loads of sense, and I say that as I've been planning on doing it to mine for a while now.

Are you using a translator program? Because its not very good. Pics look good tho.

No translator, sorry for bad langauge  . I'll try to improve...I upload many pics to try explain better than language.

Thanks Mate....i'll show you with pics....better than explain. 

To fix the amp, I used multi-hole tie, fixed on roof structs without mle any hole. The roof bracket just have holes to fix them

No, it wouldn't. His wheels are wide, so he needs the camber not only to get some arch clearance but also keep the inner of the rim away from the coil/adjuster rings.

hello again mate,

thanks for the info about the amp but i was actually wondering more about the roof lining itself. what was your process for wrapping it? what material did you use?

also i'm really interested how you did your headlights. why did you put them in the oven?! is the conversion to bi xenon easy?


new pics look great!

you put lights in the oven to soften the silicone so you can take off the glass and get inside

i thought that was the case. i take it the rest of the unit has a higher temperature threshold?

Open the glass from the rest of unit is also easy. You should put the oven with open door of oven (not close the oven's door!)
You must warm the headlight for 4 -5 minutes at 100 centigrades. Previous dismantle the 4 metal cips, you can open your glass pulling of the glass from the case (pay attention because the glass will be very hot)
I hope to explain the job...

Fitting the xenon bulb is so easy (you should check only the height of the bulb to be sure that the bulb doesn't touch the glass when you'll close the headlight)
The bulb is fixxed on the chrome lens with a bracket screwed on the bulb, no need cut or modify the lens.
In the previous pages you can see my "rudimetal" fitting guide with pics.
