yellow 6n2 progress thread :) (KW springs-40mm lower :) )

[dub6n2]

yeah coilies are surely before wheels, but first I have to fix something in the steering column because it is rattling a lot when going over pot holes!!

[dub6n2]

I was also going to buy these seats:

but they do not ship them to this tiny rock!!

[red6n2]

the best steeleys are banded G60's

[dub6n2]

you know where I can find a good set of them (will have to be bent)? that could be possibly be shipped to malta!!

[dub6n2]

have just fitted two 20mm spacers on the rear axil a little closer to the down and out look

[red6n2]

can you take a pic i want spacers but i was thinking 25mm rear 15 fronts

[dub6n2]

I will as soon as I have some time mate. yeah I think 25mm on the rear would have been better but don't go too wide because off the stress you place on the hub and make sure the spacers are hub-centric

[dub6n2]

the photos with the spacers on. not that i can see much difference!! but the car in now 40mm wider

[dub6n2]

I ll add some better photos because these were taken with a mobile. next up, I am spraying the oil, wiper tank and reservoir caps and dipstick grip yellow. after this the air box is up next, spraying it half yellow and removing the silly 1.0mpi badge

[red6n2]

i can see the difference i think i will go 25mm though, thanks

Really like your car man, looks great.
Absolutely love the colour I think the Yellow/Black combo works really well and its nice to see you have stuck with this theme in all areas.

The only thing I dont like too much is the rear light tints but I suppose they do tie in with the colour scheme.

Fair Play, keep up the good work

[red6n2]

this is one of my fave colours in this car too this and the metallic lime green (very rare)

[dub6n2]

hehe thanks for the comments ... yeah I used to dislike that yellow mainly because it looks like a faded yellow (not like the yellow you find on fiats example) but now with the black parts I am liking it . as for the tinted lights they may be a little to dark but I really like them (until an officer stops me for a fine!! although last day a police was driving behind me and didn't take any notice )

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yeah the yellow looks really Cool.
Are you going to have the bumpers smoothed or are you happy with the black rub strips?

[dub6n2]

I surely do not have the budget for smoothing the bumpers for now apart that smoothing is lower down on the wish list do not get me wrong, I really like the look of a smoothed bumper but the strips does not annoy me that much apart from them protecting the bumper from my lame parking habits
