pics of my vr

[AZZY]

i think the vr looks nice, the dtm suits the car but i wouldnt have chosen them myself. as for the rims, u can get exactlty the same rimz with the VW logo on them. the car looks like it sits nicely over the wheels tho. im gettin 18's with a 35 profile also have 2 modify the arches a little before i put the drop on the car so hopefully they wont catch.

is that a highline? if so whats the condition of the leathers.

yea my arches have been done but a rough job well do proprley 18'ns i doubt they would go on with mine as low as it is , i dont want vw logo's in the wheels , and no not a high line wish i had leather but never mind will look into a retrim once i have the engine power sorted

How much did you pay for arches and bumpers to be done? Yours look like they've been rounded off, not just color coded (look at the back bumper pic of mine and yours). V nice rounded look on yours - V sweet!

Any recommended places in / around London (SW London in particular)?

Ta!

I'm with you.  I like the audi logo

Ta Bodhi - those are the rims that came with the car, were put on by a previous owner, but I had to get new rubber 'cos he'd REALLY scrimped on that! They're pretty sweet, but sadly nothing special (DJ "racing" Alloys)... not bad for the time being though. Juzt need to clean the brakes up a bit more behind them - EDB grooved / dimpled discs look schweet, but the calipers are pretty grubby and not looking too hot....



Is the twin-pipe Milltek Jet not your idea of a "subtle" twin pipe exhaust... or was it just SO subtle you didn't notice it  



I'd recommend the Milltek "Stealth" - much more subtle oval pipe, but sadly not availble when I got mine done.

Hehehe very subtle, I didn't notice it til you pointed it out How much did that set you back. I'm definitely more of a fan of the twin pipe action - think they look classier on a Mk3 than the oval pipe. An exhaust like that, rims like that in tungsten a K&N and a remap and i reckon i'll have my personal perfect 8v. Shame I don't have the 2 grand + to do it. Just coming up to university graduation is a bugger of a time to be thinking about car mods

?2000?? ?200-?300 odd for the exhaust, ?100-?180 for the induction and ?380 for the wheels... I'm nowhere near a grand yet.... even if you get it all done professionally.

I finished uni in 2000/2001 (full time / retakes  )... bought an old banger two years ago, got two year no claims and now I just bought a nice '98 Golf cabby and tweaking it around nicely.

Milltek "Jet" cat-back was ?320 inc VAT & fitting at AmD... I had the car in there for a few bits and pieces: engine remap, brakes, strut brace and induction (Pipercross, they wouldn't do me a K&N57i or even a PiperX Viper )

Brakes were about ?230 for the front (pads and discs) and ?230 for the rear (pads, discs and bearings).

Add that to the new stereo and new rubber all-round and we're talking about two grand on the car straight after I bought it  

BTW - the that Milltek pipe fits perfectly under the existing body kit, so no need to change the rear skirt... sounds v nice, but does drone a bit when you accelerate on motorways and fairly constantly over 80mph... take the roof off and you have to be going a bit quicker before you really notice it.... although overtaking in tunnels, especially with the roof down can be pretty impressive sounding!! The first comment I normally get is "I didn't know they put the 2.8 in the cabby's"... although to be fair if you know what you're listening for it's nothing like the proper purr of the VR6!
