Well thought id add photos of the jetta before i get too carried away and she completely looks amazing ha ha ha
2.0 tfsi but with a 100000 miles on the clock (ex rep car with only 1 owner from new) so has full service history.
It does have a few paint work issues that need to be addressed after all them motorway miles theres a chipping on the door and a terrible attempt at covering a scratch on the rear quarter!
so far all ive done is change the grill and add a vortex splitter, oh and a neuspeed induction kit.
other then that shes completely standard :smiley:

Thats a long list so close to Xmas :grin:
Be careful of the R-line grills as they don't really fit the Jetta bumper, the outer corners are too curved!! Polo tried fitting them to his bumper :scared:
Can only be jealous that you are fitting air, would love to be riding on air but life just don't let me :signLOL:
SL55 alloys will look :sick: as do the depo with HID's
Vortex splitter looks great, will the skirts be smoothed?
Great progress in such a short time and I think you got the expensive mod's out of the way :happy2:
Keep up the pictures
-
yea im getting the tires done an air in then backing off the cards abit and letting them build back up and i suppose i should buy some xmas presents at some point ha ha ha!
i saved myself a grand on the air as its second hand but only 2 months old and still under warrenty so id of been stupid not too 8)
gutted with the r-lines but i will make them fit ha ha and im not sure about whether or not to smooth the skirts over as its more paint work lol
whats your next plans the jetta
unfortunatly rebuilding my e50's is another expensive one :sad:
-
Great progress. Love the lights, makes a big difference :happy2:
-
Cheers mate, lots more to come :) the lights make a massive difference and the cut off and brightness is immense
-
Well drop the car off yesterday at Airtechnik in Sheffield. I've heard good things and seen some of there work so it wasn't a hard choice to make!!
My rims still arnt with me so abit of a let down with the courier (never had trouble with them before)
So can't wait for Friday when I get chance to pick it up cause you know I'm just going to be playing all Saturday with the air lol
-
That front end :notworthy:
Exactly how I want mine, I'm interested in how you get on with the R-Lines. :party:
-
I'm hoping to get them on this weekend along with the wheels for a test fit so I'll post some pics up along with a lot of air ride pics hopefully :jumping:
-
Where you from mate? Im in Sheffield, i'll keep an eye out for a slammed jetta on friday lol.
-
Ha ha I think I passed you a few weeks back at the road works just up from asda in Rotherham I was presse up against the window :drool: at your jetta, it's bloody tidy mate !? I'm in treeton mate just off parkway lol
-
It could well have been me, I actually work in Sheffield but live in Doncaster, thanks for the comments mate, id love a tfsi version but do to much traveling, what wheels are you going for?
-
I've just bought woahnowboys sl55 amg wheels and I've got a set of Bbs e50's that I need to rebuild because the offset is completely wrong!! Hoping to get the amg's on this weekend! Do ya go ta lowdown?!
-
And the tfsi engine is awesome mate :grin:
-
Yeah i go to lowdown meet most of the time, havent been the last few months with it not being at the retail park anymore. How much is air costing you if you dont mind me asking?
-
I got the air off a lad off here he'd only had it on two months, that was £2600 then £500 off Airtechnik for plumbing an wiring boot build and notch so I can't complain lol no I ant been since aug/sep time ha ha
-
What car did you have before?
-
Silver mk2 ibiza slammed on gold dare rs mate was a mess but amazingly fast and fun ta drive
-
Cant say i remember that, im just trying to save to get my new wheels on
-
I was just about too ask what's going on with ya rims?! Are you running an aftermarket exhaust aswel mate
-
Ive got some 19" vw atheos off a touareg to go on, yeah the exhaust is a turbo back straight through system
-
What make fella an how much? I'm in desperate need of one but I don't have £1100 for a miltek one :(
-

Whats next, well last week I was looking at DAB and purchased an RCD310Dab but then I got offered GT/Sport interior at a price I could not refuse (been sat on SE seats too long)
Then last night I found a set of Charleston alloys that were a bargain, I need to collect them from S Wales. I will probably have the RCD310Dab, front seat draws/SE seats and my VZ's for sale soon (maybe, it depends if the wife notices)
Sneak in a picture of your e50!
I got the air off a lad off here he'd only had it on two months, that was £2600 then £500 off Airtechnik for plumbing an wiring boot build and notch so I can't complain lol no I ant been since aug/sep time ha ha
This is what puts me off fitting air to my car coz thats what i think it's value is, i am still happy with the ride and height of my B12.
Get plenty of pictures up when you get it back :happy2: :happy2:
-
I'm clueless as of what to do interior wise, I've not even started to think although ford rs seats wouldn't go a miss ha ha
I see where your coming from with the air but if I can't get the asking price of the jetta when it comes to sale time I'd more then Likely strip it back to oem and put it all on an r32 :drool:
I will do my best this weekend when I get back home to get a ton of pics up, and ok il sly some Bbs love in there :wink:
-
What make fella an how much? I'm in desperate need of one but I don't have £1100 for a miltek one :(
I got mine done in sections not all at once, i think the company i used charge around £350 for a stainless system it was done by topgear performance in Doncaster, top lads who work there.
-
Im running a Audi A5 S Line full leather interior in mine for something abit different to the norm.
-
I was looking at s-line seats, they look cleaner and the charcoal leather I've got is more of a grey!!! Topgear performance in doni you say hmmmm il have ta have a look at them
-
Danny mi old what brake upgrade did you do aswel an how much? If ya don't mind me asking only I couldn't see it on your thread :smiley:
-
Ive just upgraded to 312mm brakes, nothing special.
-
well its here fully bagged to the nuts on the new sl55 amg wheels :happy2:
i cant get it as low as id like on the back due to the need for camber and slightly stretched tyres, so thats the next investment along with the gli sideskirts :wink:
not had chance to take any real photos or clean the car this weekend so there only dirty drive shots :signLOL:
anywho here go's

cheers guys im pretty impressed :signLOL:
So you should be Lewis, the car looks stunning on air. :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
I may have to sell some things and save after xmas for it.
Great work, looks excellent in black too. :drool: :drool:
-
cheers stan it needs abit of tweeking here an there but nothing major and i need to spend some time on getting the settings perfect :popcornsoda:
-
Well went to set off to work this morning and it seems the bolts arnt doing as they should an just keep spinning but never tighten they're the correct bolts so I'm confused to high heaven had a convo with woahnowboys and best we can come up with is that the thread on the bolts arnt right so I've got to wait till next weekend now :( why won't it just work ha ha ha
-
Still don't really understand what's going wrong :sad1:
I would send you the bolts I used, but like I said before, I only have 10. Only test fitted one side at a time.
Hope you can figure it out soon man, every time I look at the pictures they look even nicer :drinking:
-
I've spoke to the company an they're the right bolts for the job so now I'm really puzzled! Nothing I can do though till the weekends here! It does need a few more touches mate but thankyou woahnowboys
-
damn :wink:
-
Yessss. This is awesome!
-
Any update on the bolts Lewis?
-
Yes mate.........there a fuxkinn pain in the arse!! Ive been looking on some yank sights an they all use 43mm bolts but I've order 35mm! An it's going in for new tyres camber and tracking done tomorrow so I'm hoping they have some or know where to get some! And now my new hid kits stopped working altogether on the passenger side! Grrrrr getting annoyed gentlemen
-
R-line grills are a waste of time - they only fit the mk5 GTi bumper - outer corners don't fill the gap.
Jetta looks amazing!! Did you bin the ARB??
-
Eyup polo, cheers mate! No I dint get rid of the arb mate I've got the performance set up so it has extendable drop links attached :) and I trust your judgement on the r-line fogs but I've got to try to get them to fit first mate! Besides at least ya can turn round now and say I told you so ha ha
-
Your not having much luck lately Lewis. Good luck with trying to make the R-line grills to fit :signLOL:
How did the camber and tracking go?
Are you keeping the chrome around the windows?
-
No mate I'm not :signLOL: the front left suspension is knocking now aswel so the boys at Airtechnik have been out to have a look, we spent 2 hours taking things apart but with no trophy at the end so it's going back to them next week :sad1: so over Christmas leave il be trying to fit the r-lines and finally get some decent photos out up!
The camber upfront was a nightmare an is a degree out on one side but they did there up most an spent several hours trying! Il get the print out put up at some point!
Little update is I ordered some flee bay led bulbs for the rear number plate and I'm going to de-name the boot but might leave the jetta name on?!
-
nice work youve done there mate. what are the specs on the wheels? i like the look of the rotiform ind but i dont really want 19s. and those amg look very similar.
and top job on the air ride, i keep thinking it over but im a static man at heart. haha
-
Cheers matey! Welcome along! The wheels are 18x8.5 et41 fair bit of poke but when you slam it they tuck pretty nice, but I've just noticed that the inner arch has scratched an transferred paint so I'm going to have to have the arches pulled an wheels refurbed at some point! An this is my first setup on air an I wouldn't look back (I've "always" been a staric man) the diversity of air is amazing and so is the handling :grin:
-
When're you starting on the R32 swap? :happy2:
-
ahh thankyou :) its good to be back on a friendly forum. I think its the handling side of things that has put me off but then again i have never been in a air ride car.
-
Ellis be quiet you, putting thoughts in my head you evil man :signLOL:
And I live by sennas golden rule if there's a gap take it, and I have to say the handling hasn't scared me once yet! Besides you should see some of the cars on air on youtube its immense mate
-
f*cked off doesnt come close!?!?
explination-
so ive treated myself to a k2 pressure washer and gli sideskirts :jumpmove: in a great mood, festive feeling but............ on the way home i come to some speed bumps i always go over, so i raised the car as i come to them only for the f*cking thing to slam itself while im half way over them :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

Did you have e-level management?
if so i turned off the active ride height monitoring stuff and just stick to my presets... always goes to the height i set that way rather than trying to use the active loadings which can sometimes confuse it
sorted the knocking out? check top mounts.
