:happy2: Cheers Jake. Looking forward to having you sort out the Mercs. I'm going to split them over the next few weeks most likely. :love:

Everyone mods 3 doors! I value my practicality thanks very much! Besides the doors on a 3 door are too long it's odd. :surprised:

Yeah they do.. it's odd. My A3 wheels on my old TDI looked like 18s as well.
Don't understand why some people are like "need 18s or bigger.."

Thanks H, yeah it's not bad! Same colour as the Mercs but different design so well chuffed how they turned out.

Thanks :drinking:
Over winter we have the following to sort out
Paintwork - Needs some respray work and colour coding done and some dents taken out. Votex splitter needs to go on still and I need to get some sanding marks from the VW bodyshop out of the bonnet as well so need to Trizact that
Brakes - Due to the Mercs dish and design I can't upgrade the brakes in terms of size but I am going to put some new discs and uprated pads on along with having the calipers painted
Interior - A retrim is on the cards, I'm pretty sure I've finalised the design as well, need to sort out some seats first...
Engine work - Going to go Stage 2 most likely, want a Turbo back exhaust and intake.. but power is not my priority at the moment. I don't really drive it that hard anyway.
Wheels - Going to have the lips professionally polished or chrome dipped. The rest of the barrel will be getting powdercoated. The faces are going off to be sandblasted and then will be resprayed in the same colour. I want extra lacquer on them to allow me to machine polish them up again throughout the course of the year. When I get them back they will be sealed with a ceramic sealant.
We're aiming to have it all sorted by the start of the show season 2014 that being UD14..
JoeDarKa:
Sounds like a plan!
