Ignore anything in your head, concentrate on the stance and go from there.

The wheels make the car, not the bodywork! Standard, awesome wheels = amazing. Smoothed, standard wheels = fail.

Couldnt agree more.

Im currently in the middel of smoothing all the vt* kit in. If you do it yourself id suggest gettin it all done in a couple of days as mines just draggin now after being in hospital. Car has already been delocked, boot badges and lock smoothed out aswell as the front fog lights beeing smoothed and next to do is the rear bumper. Alloys are the major par, got my alloys which i got cheap and refurbed myself.

Mines going down 50mm at front and 80mm on the back, as for the interior i got a huge system in the back which aint very euro but i love it with white leather bucket seats.

Something like this has no smoothing, just a graffiti bonnet and the right stance and wheels!

Most people think then its the wheels and the stance... Thats the most important thing really..

NICK2506 · 5th January 2009, 17:24

spend money on lowering and wheels.

Curran · 5th January 2009, 17:29

danny's right.

get the wheels and stance sorted first.

euro is not about smoothing everything possible on the car. its about 'cleaned' lines. i.e. removing badges, locks, fogs etc.

imo lee has finished the body work on his car. he just needs to concentrate on the wheels, stance and interior now.

the interior also needs to be awesome if you want to 'show' the car.

there are lots of different things you can do and it can be classed as euro. the idea behind modding a car is to come up with your own ideas.

have a look at the cars on cleaned.be there are some seriously cool cars on there, some shit ones too though so ignor them.

surely if you are thinking about euroing your car you should know what euro is? as you must have seen euro cars that you have liked to make you think you want to do that to your car?

if i were you i wouldnt smooth the boot or vt kit. thats not euro imo.

its just low and grey.

Euro would be smoothed, low, stretched tyres over small wheels etc.

By all means his car is on the way, but just cos its low and grey doesnt make it Euro imo.

thats why mines in progress Karl, still got wheels to sort out, the steelies have slight stretch on them btw aha, but i cant run lower than 15's because of my brembos.

agree with everything that curran has put mate, he is well knowlegded on this stuff, it took me nearly 4/5 months of prep to decide the right colour i wanted and what lines needed cleaning up and trying to make interior work and wheels and ride height.

its awkward mate and very costly, since trying to make my car euro and maintain other components iv probs spent around 5k on the car i only payed £300 for it last june so that might give you an idea of price and money iv wasted changing my ideas last minute or buying new parts and disliking them so swapping them out for other bits.

And curran, as for my car we know what wheels and stance im going for now dont we aha, luke massy's sorting my interior out for me once im back from florida weve had talks about my interior hes got some ideas and i like his thinking. also were gunna try and keep mine OE and subtle with the gti leather but adapt a few other things to tie in with the cleaned/oe/euro theme.

your about to get a pm.

Curran · 5th January 2009, 18:19
