Afternoon all, I was pointed here by the Briskoda forum as I understand there's a bit more info on modded cars etc so thought I'd join up :-)
My car is currently old man mode Octavia Estate in Blue:

First mod going on shortly having just had these refurbed & powdercoated:

Then the car is being lowered (sensibly only by around 30mm) so it will look a tad better, just a few more bits to do for now :smiley:
Thanks

Sweet rims, and a proper stealth machine :smiley:

I'll keep an eye out for it, I'm Oxford :)

Welcome to the forum,love the colour of them rims,what colour are they done in
-
Welcome :happy2: love the wheels
-
Sorry for the delay, wheels were powdercoated by Headley Bodyshop in Newbury, colour wise they were similar to the E39 M5 Wheel Colour if you know it.
I have just received my lowering kit too so going to get it lowered over Christmas, then get the wheels put on in January :smiley:
-
Welcome! Don't apologise, some of us need more space than others! Great looking estate BTW.
:happy2:

This is my thread but I'm currently serving a Ban for unauthorised advertising so I'm hoping to get that sorted out soon!!
The car has been treated to a full detail since those pics and has now been lowered on Eibach Pro springs, although lowering it further would be hugely improve it I can't really justify it as the car gets used for lugging gear around, and as our family car when we go away so I don't want to have the wife moaning about it being uncomfortable so at the moment it's a good balance! It's actually dropped a fair bit more since these pics were taken

Also, just managed to get hold of a lovely Mk5 ED30 Golf, it's a Silver 5-Dr and has just been tidied up at the bodyshop incl all 4 wheels being done, few dents and scrapes sorting and it looks awesome - Just got to get it detailed in the next couple of weeks before getting any pics up ;-)

I'm also in newbury mate,but moving soon...meet up one day for a chat mate
-
Cool, what colour is your ED30? I've seen another Silver (08 plate) car around last week or 2 with some slightly dark wheels that looks nice!
-
Can anyone help? I can't find a way to contact a Mod but want to basically talk to them about posting in the Pro Detailers section but I was banned for 7 days last time I posted something in there as I didn't realise it needed to be pre-approved... Now I've got my access back but still can't see how to contact anyone? The last msg I put up in there using my other logon (nickg123) was deleted so not sure what to do now.
Thanks in advance

Thanks mate, I still can't seem to PM anyone - maybe I haven't got enough posts yet!
