they would look sooooo good white on a red car but it aint my car haha 

Liking the colour coded splitter, looks great 

[LazyLunatic]

i know i saw the white primer and thought, white paint..... but imo it wont give the look i want. White imo is more a race alloy colour and my car is slow! Black gives it a more subtle look compared to white and i think when its lowered with the black/silver azev's it will look awesome.

I've got the look in my head and reasons why i choose colours, but i cant put it into words !?!?!

btw, getting angry cause headunit is not here yet!!!!

when will the wheels be finished then?

[LazyLunatic]

well he they are being sprayed all black sometime this week. Then i will mask out the parts that are staying black and get the rim sprayed silver. Then fit them when i fit my coilovers, which i am in the process of trying to get them for £150 delivered from hottuning_eu.

So hopefully get the wheels next week and maybe coilovers. I break up from skool 4ever on friday for study leave (damn A2 exams!). So will have loads of time on my hands to get the lot fitted.

I got 195/50/15 on my current alloys - stretch these onto azevs?? or ill just use the tyres that came with. Current tyres are probs better.

btw ... cheers dubsport!

the tyres that came with the azevs - all different, not a matching set. They all have legal tread, but not as much as current tyres. However the tyres that came with the azevs are 205/50/16, so are a better fit and are wider for the 7.5j width of the azev's.

I am more towards using the azev tyres (205/50/16) for now and replacing them when they are not legal. Sell the fox alloys with the current tyres (195/50/15).

OK headunit came today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHH!H!H!H!H!H!!!

Got the sub in boot now, 10" pioneer in an In Phase ported box. I will probs stuff some wadding (?!?!) in the box and the port to give it a better sound. Headunit is awesome, got the KCA-420i ipod kit too, so thats cool. Just need to get used to the ipod controls and customize headunit. I got the sound set up right but i need new 6x9's.

So ICE is basically done. Alloys will be on soon, as will the coilovers once the group buy is filled. Then i can move on to get the last bits done - mirrors, etc.

Once all the extras are done, the car is pretty much done. Just bodywork then and replacing bits that are worn/broke.

Its starting to come together though.

Cant wait to get it slammed with the custom azev's!!!!!

have you thought of spraying the front vw badge red? 

[LazyLunatic]

Yeah did actually. What i might do is grab an extra badge and see which looks best. I'll wait til i got the alloys on, etc. Juts used the black badge to break up the red but i think a red badge may give it a cleaner/smoother look - maybe i shouldnt break up the red?!?!

Cheers m8!
