cheers mate :smiley: no its the 140 spec tsi. wt model is yours (im taking it the car in ur sig is yours)
and as for the rims, im not 100% decided on what I want yet, just want something different, dont want to go down the BBS route. so was thinking more oldschool, porsche / merc wheels
-
There's some tornado red ED30 skirts for sale in the "for sale" section :happy2:
Nice TSi BTW
-
Mines the 170ps version.... had it re-mapped to 198bhp :smiley:
Yes the pic in sig is mine =)
-- hmm i see where you coming from with old skwl wheels.... not easy to get a set in good condition though =/
I like the old Aston Martin wheels :happy2:
Very nice car though mate ! :smiley: :love:
-
Like that front badge, I take it they are the same as the R32 front badges?
These are the wheels you want fella! :happy2:

I think the Porsche wheels would work if you gave them a nice grey respray.
My wheels are similar to the Turbo doglegs, but they're split rim and designed for a Merc. I did a quick (and rather poor) photochop as I cant afford the tyres and coilovers right now, I think they suit it really well - click for a bigger pic

I would sell my nan for your wheels nath- however, in process of buying first house, need BIG deposit for mortgage!!!
I had to delay blueflame until I move in and get some beer tokens saved :innocent:

Houses are evil things...its why my car only has 17s, 200bhp and high suspension :(

awww its only a week old in that pic!! haha! cheers for that JPC!!
plates... I shall get the link matey!!
I did have the plate a bit lower to start with but to be honest i prefer it there.
the rear valance is a standard gti rear valance I got from VW, it was only £43 then I got it smoothed (its got the nasty orange peel effect) and then painted. I got the lower part sprayed gloss black instead of leaving it the dark grey plastic. personally love it, my best part of the car.
cheers for the comments fella's :smiley:
-
Yeah thats exactly what i want to do :happy2: Do you have the part number just to make sure i get the right one :wink:

Cheers

Should beable to just rub them down to sort them out. but... i was going to get them fully polished, im now putting that on the back-burner 'til next year, probably get them done in winter. so question is... what colour?? iv considered a bright shiney silver, anthracite or black??
help! :scared:
