Ashcroft's 6n2 GTI: NEW WHEELS!!! P27 Pic heavy!!!

[red6n2]

I ran it stupidly low like to
The point where
I couldn't fit a McDonalds dip underneath

And smashed all the wishbones up my tyres lasted two weeks then cords started showing due to the stupid camber I had, also smashed something under the car... Gave it to my mate along with my cc and just walked away ha !. I also accidentally smashed my smoothed front bumper

Soon to be sorted though !.

[Ashcroft]

Ooo that sounds pretty nasty mate I can't run that low due to the poor road quality down here, I also catch my mudflaps everywhere.
I struggle to get in and out of my drive as it is so don't fancy goin much lower.

[benmkiv]

Rinsed it into a wall. Hahah whole quarter ruined on the back. This weeks isn't great but I got an excuse to put the coils on

[Ashcroft]

Oh sh*t that's not good man!

When I see it in the carpark I'll think...

If I see it in the car park though I know I'll just think jesus . Look at that quarter panel

[benmkiv]

Haha just think of the lower control arm at the moment all part of owning a car man!! Crave the money

[Ashcroft]

Yup! Just wish I had a bottomless pocket would be great

[benmkiv]

Don't we all buddy. So excited for tomorrow now. Might see you there feel free to get down have a butchers at the control arm and laugh hahah

[Ashcroft]

[KPerryGTi]

ouch just seen this! a did that on my focus st =/ bad times! was a dark blue car though so couldn't see it lol

[Ashcroft]

It's bad mate I'm still annoyed with myself as its put other plans back now

[Ashcroft]

So this weekend I was bored and thought I'd get busy paintin a few bits I've needed to do for a while.

Sorry Craig I just had to butcher your old badge



I felt like being a bit different so I thought I'd do the tweeter covers wrinkle black instead of gloss or carbon and I also colour coded the mesh inserts

While I was colour coding I decided to do the VW surround on the front grill to get rid of the horrible grey primer which I left a long time ago.





It's hard to capture but it looks really well in my opinion



While I had the door card off to fit the spare tweeter cover I also fitted my stubby mirror which I've had since Christmas which is why you can see a red mirror will be getting painted black very soon.
Also while door card was off I decided to paint a few extra bits...









And here's the finished result of Craig's old badge...


And a picture someone took of a meet yesterday

Oh btw elmo has now gone he looked out of place so I took him off
