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

[red6n2]

the strips does not annoy me that much apart from them protecting the bumper from my lame parking habits

ha ha ha

[6N2 GTI 00]

lol they dont call them "bumpers" for nothing

When you smooth the bumpers it does weaken them so you have to be extra careful.

I had mine smoothed early last year but I had to get the back bumper re-done 6 months later because my car rolled back into my dads car overnight. (Dodgy handbrake). It was only a 40cm roll but that was enough to crack one of the seams on the bumper.

It cost me £110 to get re-done which was a right pain

[dub6n2]

the DIY spraying of the caps turned out horrible!! even with the primer sprayed before, the yellow spray did not grip at all and kept slipping off!! will clean them again and have them properly sprayed apart from the oil cap that I am thinking of replacing with this alloy one (but black not blue) if they ship to malta : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 1299wt_939

[dub6n2]

OK so I now managed to break the mirror cover when going down the basement!! just after wasting my time spraying them black!!

[6N2 GTI 00]

Ouch!

Are you getting a replacement from VW then?

[dub6n2]

yeah will have to, hope it does not cost much! and when I am there I will ask them about the gti splitter as well

[dub6n2]

so mirror has been fixed. the splitter is a little expensive for now. I had a look at these wheels what do you think?? would need a refurbish for sure, sprayed black. but they are 14" !! would they look small?

[red6n2]

i really really... REALLY... dont like them lol !

[dub6n2]

hehe I actually wasn't so sure about them. I think I might go for something 15". would 16" be a little too much for a 1.0l engine to push around?

[red6n2]

as long as there not gonna be like 16" replicas of something you should be fine

"replicas are so much heavier"

the gti comes with 16"

i have an idea for something ive never seen done with rims on a 6n2 but its getting hold of what i want thats all i will say on my idea

[dub6n2]

so I'll have a look around maybe I find a decent set, most probably 15"so not to go to little on the profile cos of the potholes!! good that I haven't changed the tires yesterday, would have been a waste of money. talking about tires, anyone has heard about Interstate tires or Barum?

6N2 GTI's come with 15" wheels although the 16" versions are a very common modification.

Im not really a fan of those wheels to be honest dude,i don't think they would suit the car at all.Keep on the hunt though

[red6n2]

ahhh i stand corrected

[dub6n2]

my preferred once are the

Carline CM6 in black


lenso BSX


or the Cades Eros



but I am on a tight budget and coilies are before the alloys on the list. any opinions on JOM coilies people ??

[red6n2]

never heard of JOM i have ta-technix and am happy with them

i like the lenzo's but if you go to shows with them you will get ripped lol
