my before and after pictures
« on: 09 April 2006, 00:32 »
I bought my mk3 gti about a week and a half ago, went mad on ebay and spent a thousand pound on modifying it.
I bought crystal fogs and indicators,
crystal side repeators,
m3 rear tail lights with smoked top sections,
mk4 style headlights,
vr6 chin spoiler
badgless grill being painted at the moment so not in the pictures.
audi tt competition alloys and tyres to go with them,
new number plates with vw logo on the left and gti club small text on bottom for £18 of ebay cheapest about and they let you have what ever design you like in ant text and any logo (cool car plates)
and then worst mistake was i bought coil over adaptions you stick onto your stock shocks but i have fitted them and i cant lower it more than it is in the picture basically beacuse they are cheap rubbish, so people be aware of these coil overs from america on ebay as they are sh!te and do not lower the car much.  i will be investing some 60mm springs as a quick fix but i reckon the car looks pretty sweet. what do you guys reckon. all opinions welcome  more pics next week when i slam her to the tarmac

the ride height is ok but i would like the tyres to be in the arches a tad more, and even though it isnt that low the ride is so bumpy its unbelievable its like a fair ground ride.  so i have to change the suspension again as these cheapy coilovers are rubbish, i wanted to deck it and take some pictures and i was gutted when i set it all up and lowered it off the jack, so i ahve to get it that bit lower then i will be happy as larry.  cheers for your opinion neaty. :grin:

thats 1 one of my fears cos i like the vr6 splitter but it does extnd a lot and lowered 60mm i know i will scrape it everywhere and i will probably resort to putting the gti one back on but as long as it looks smooth for a couple of weeks untill i rip the bumper off :shocked:

nice one mate, tastefully done! those wheels are probably the best suited oem wheels for the mk3 imo! just a question mate, does the vr6 splitter fit straight on? was thinking of this mod myself.

dan7 the vr6 splitter goes straight on easy to fit done mine in 5 mins no screws or anything just pull off with bruit force and push fit the new one in, i had to use a rubber mallet when joining the two pieces to the bumper as its a tight fit but just shows that it aint coming off in a hurry.   
thanks for all you opinions im on the look out for black leather out of a black colour concept now so if any one knows of some give me a pm.
