Best colour mate

good progress, new wheels will look spot on

Hopcraft · 29th November 2009, 00:08

I like the progress. And that switch off for the sub is a good idea and nicely mounted aswel as the ipod.

I would put it down 50 front 60 rear, imo.

i dunno if im gunna go ahead with the 205 wheels.

theyre ready for the final coat of paint and then laquer but after xmas im getting it lowered and all the belts changed and service so thats gunna set me back £365.

ive been quoted £216 for the four tyres for the 205 rims but then i would have to paint my mirror caps nd chevrons to match.

might just stick with the VTR wheels and call it a day with all the painting.

what you rekkon?

marc_mcquilling · 16th December 2009, 22:39

gettin all the belts changed, full service, water pump nd lowered 40mm all round.

marc_mcquilling · 21st December 2009, 22:52

Jay_ · 28th December 2009, 18:37

marc_mcquilling · 28th December 2009, 22:57

thanks lads..

its down 40mm front and rear.

Alanapone^p · 28th December 2009, 23:03

Looks awesome mate. Was in 2 minds about doing my wheels black too. I got some 205 alloys as track rims but have only managed to strip 1 for a refurb. How much did it cost to get yours blasted? I love them 205 gti rims... i got stung though and ended up with the 1.6 ones not 1.9 ones like yours!

marc_mcquilling · 28th December 2009, 23:10

cost me £45 to get all 4 blasted mate.

once done theyre still a bit rough, the metal got a good pounding on mine haha.

Azza-VTR · 28th December 2009, 23:25

It looks to be a tidy colour - the colour reminds me of China Blue which my old Pug was in lovely colour

CaldzieVTR · 28th December 2009, 23:34

looks mint fella, starting to like this colour more and more

marc_mcquilling · 28th December 2009, 23:37

thanks lads

marc_mcquilling · 5th January 2010, 21:42

got the car all sound now!

full service, timing belt, fan belt, water pump, coolant ect.

its just how i want it now although ive got some aero wiperblades, phillips blue vision headlight bulbs, yellow fog lights and a plain black sun strip.

the sunstrip is purely for practical reasons though.... pisses me off when the sun is between the 2 visors!

marc_mcquilling · 6th January 2010, 23:08

ive also got a bid in for some plain black cloth head rests from a 106.

i think the vtr ones look very poor. theyre miles too big.
