Bit of an update.

Managed to get rid of the Merc alphards and found yet more wheels. Bare with me on this one as they dont look too great as they are, but i plan on changing them up and going for a more OEM look with the car this year, alongside upgrading interior bits!
heres the wheels i got.



Genuine VW interlagos, terrible tyres but new centre caps. managed to swap them plus cash for the Alphards and he also did me my US sidelights when he came to swap  :happy2:


Happy with them for over winter, but hoping to get them refurbed when the weather improves.
going for something like this...

I also prefer those Interlagos painted silver. Gunmetal isn't bad either, for your Silver Reflex Jetta, I think. :smiley:

That gonna look spot on, when are you getting them refurbed?  :drool:
Are you getting the front and rear valances colour coded too?

Get the GLi rear valance  :happy2:

Another member and Jetta owner Tank (I think) painted his with a rattle can and looked smart. His was silver too.

Few more changes since i last updated this thread!!

Had my mirrors and grill smoothed and painted in Metallic grey, very close to United Grey.
At the same time i also had my wheels (interlagos) refurbed in factory spec silver



But as usual i got sick of the OEM look and decided to change things up a bit, my brother has recently purchased a golf and bought these wheels for his, so i had to give them a go!


So this made my mind up, i wanted something with dish, and managed to find a set of 8.5 front 9.5 rears, which i managed to make fit on the rear with -4.5 degrees of camber!
Also took my front helpers out and it sits pretty well now!



Quick pic of my brothers golf that we lowered the other day :)


and heres a few more shots of mine, finally getting it how i want it!!

Keep forgetting to update my thread, i do apologize  :signLOL:

Anyway, few changes on the Jetta over the summer...
Had a few more sets of wheels, managed to get some Mercedes Eltanins as a swap for the dished Ispiris

Then i decided to go get my front grill fully smoothed and painted in Champagne metalflake, along with the wheels and mirror caps...
Then i got bored again and made myself a boot build

Then i got new wheels again, this time a set of Staggered Alphards, had been after another set and managed to get some again, a year exactly after i got my last set!




Absolutely loved the look with the alphards but they just werent practical and tore up my rear arches!!
So i got rid of them and managed to get myself a custom interior..
Love it, rear headrest delete, isofix points deleted etc


Thats it for now, deposit has gone down for air ride so i will update when its low!!

Thanks for reading guys  :happy2: :happy2:
