i then couldn't decide how much to lower the car by an what wheels to put on???????? in the end i opted for lowering it 60mm at the front and the rear torsion bar matched. cheers to manic motors

i also went for standard vtr rims sprayed black.

then went through the trouble of bonnet raisers. only a small mod but looks good in my eyes.

the badges also came off at this point but need the holes filling and painting

collo · 17th October 2009, 02:07

then decided to give the car a good scrub and try and get rid of some of the tar on the bottom of the door and sills and some of the grime off the engine.

collo · 17th October 2009, 02:14

CLEAN

collo · 17th October 2009, 02:16

now for the inside, dvd player fitted

collo · 17th October 2009, 02:27

colour coded trim. not too much just the part in the centre as u can see and the two blower surrounds at both sides. not too keen on painting the glove box handle, speaker covers, door handle etc.

collo · 17th October 2009, 02:33

as you can see ive now got a smiley grille due to my other one flyin off at high speeds 70

lol din't really want one of these due to them been quite common but they're well built. considering painting the surround so its colour coded with the car but not too sure as ive seen a few about and they look bodged because the paint doesn't match up. so im in two minds! any suggestions???????

collo · 17th October 2009, 02:36

few more pics to add tomorrow stripped out, strut brace, aero wipers, twin fan???

collo · 17th October 2009, 11:26

few bits needed to be done in the near future! thinking of removing the door pillar sticker because the one thats on has had it. but the paint underneath might be brighter than the rest of the car hhhmmm???? also need to find a passangers side CLEAR fog light lense as the one that on now is frosted

also a tow eye cover for that hole in the front bumper. was thinking of a 106 gti front bumper 2 cold air feed pipes where the fogs should be ??? will a 106 bumper fit and will it need modifying much? !help please!

collo · 17th October 2009, 12:17
