My MK5 Journey

<< < (3/15) > >>

OllieL:
Just found this thread

Didn't realise I had replies - Thanks for the kind words about my past and present cars

Bit of History about my current progress with the mk5 then

Started out looking like this



which was a nice starting point

Was then made a little lower and was a good daily hack


Went Bentleys for a bit


But didn't like the black and then kind of lost my love for them after not really being able to get my car to sit low enough with just the screw mod
So instead I put those up for sale and changed the front end instead



Decided I wanted something nice to sit on
So went to see Steve


His car made mine look rubbish

But my drive home was made nicer by these



Liked the rear bumper he had on his (I always envisaged getting an R32 bumper and smoothing the exhaust plinth, or failing that getting a votex one)

So went back to see him again and bought this


Waiting for another day off work now to change my canbus and fit an RCD 310 so I can use mp3 cd's and better sound quality

Then it's the toss up between starting to collect parts for air or new wheels

What do you think of my progress so far?

Ollie

Andy:
looking good Ollie :happy2:

Ah so your the cheekey b*gger who stole the R32 rear from Stew1!  :signLOL: Such a nice bumper i'd have loved to have bought it. Car is looking very good and cannot wait to see its progress!

OllieL:
Indeed it was, sorry

Wanted to go and pick up some air ride to get an install going for after Christmas.

Unfortunately money had had to be spent elsewhere, which is a bit disappointing.

Guess the whole air ride thing might not have been the most sensible for a 10K a year daily anyway? (That's what I'm telling myself anyway to lessen the blow)

Have however done a deal with a friend with a few bits and prices so should be new wheels on this week (should be taking flash wheels off for winter, but that's not what I tend to do).

Might also be on the look out for a new bonnet so I can have the front end painted after Christmas ( anyone know of a united grey one about)

If you ever come around to selling that front bumper  :party:
