Plans for this:
ED30 wheels change of plan
ED30 Front and rear bumpers change of plan
Lowering
Milltek r32 style Exhaust
R32 rear lights
R32 rear bumper
Will update thread with some decent pictures and not an iphone image.
Thanks for looking.
-
Lurve that colour :drinking:
some serious looking rash on those rims dude
-
yup was going to get them reconditioned but just gonna get some new rims.
-
Great choice of colour! :happy2:
I keep wondering what Ed30 front and rear would look like, so would be interested in seeing pics if you go ahead.. :party:
Enjoy it!
-
im defo going to do it, its just when the funds allow me too.
wheels are the first port of call as they are letting the car down.
-
Great colour :happy2:
-
Looking good.
Wouldn't it have been easier just to buy an ED30? Especially given the amount it's gonna cost + respray setc.
Might be more cost-effective to colour code the bumpers.
-
wicked colour got 1 myself
:happy2:

You haven't seen the inside of Derek's car. GTI recaros in leather, all the trimmings. It would be a long hard search to find an Ed like this car. It's gorgeous.
Ps Derek, any pictures of your 'new' ED 30 back end yet? :wink:
Waiting on Craig re: mirrors. I'll see him saturday if you haven't already spoken.
-
no updates as of yet.
have recently been trying to cure my engine rattle. Which have now cured with cam chain, tensioner and adjuster. while i was there i replaced my fuel pump cam follower including cambelt and water pump.
I can now start saving to make the car how i want it.
-
little update..
just ordered some new wheels, they should be here tomorrow or friday so will post up some pics when there fitted!
Thinking about fitting an r32 rear end with milltek cat back system, dont want it too loud but want it to sound nice on tickover and low revs so will the resonated system be the right choice?
cheers
-
Craig said just to drop by & have a word with him re mirrors anytime when he's at work, Derek. :happy2:
-
I think you got the wrong Derek mate :signLOL:
-
I'll get my coat..... :signLOL:
-
here they are, there reps not genuine. They will do for now as there much better than whats on there!
Just need to get them fitted :grin:

Hi Derek,
Fellow shadow blue owner here :smiley:
Just out of interest, how come you didn't get your original Monza's refurbed with the black inserts?
I'm getting mine done this week with the black inserts :driver:
-
i will most prob get them refurbed now i have a spare set then sell them.
They were that bad i just wanted to get them off, and need the car daily so couldnt really have it off the road.
cheers

well had my wheels fitted this morning so it was an excuse to have a clean and a little polish.
Looks 10 times better than it did, and am happy with the qaulity of the wheels. Wasnt too sure when i bought them what they would be like!

Very nice, wheels make a huge improvement :happy2:
-
another little update,
just ordered some H&R springs. Got them from orange tuning which seem to be the cheapest place around. Will hopefully get them fitted this week so will add some new pics.
This modding malarky is exciting :grin:
-
It already looks quite low in the 2nd pic!
Nice motor.
I am getting my H&R's fitted saturday too, exciting times! :signLOL:
-
That's cause I had my old wheels in the boot still :signLOL: thought it looked better when I was taking the pictures!
-

Well fitted my H&Rs last week, no pics as of yet but i love it, better handling and looks sweet too.
I also have replaced my DV, felt like i was down on power so whipped it out to check and low and behold the diaphragm was split.
