Cheers peeps

Havent done much lately,funds are still low after being made redundant But im waiting on a start date for a new job which pays better than my last one ,so im making a few plans for the polo for after then lol

I changed the oil and filter this morning,and finally fitted a GTI metal footrest my mate got me for christmas
Also went to dub mania on the wkend which was rather wet my tent was leaking pretty bad ,so at 4.30am i put it down and spent the rest of the night curled up in the polo lol not as cramped as i was expecting really.Heres a quick snap from the wkend

Looking good mate shame about the weather but that's just typical of a british "Summer"

I had the exact same problem with my tent a few years back and had to curl up in the back of the Polo lol
It's not too bad as you said but the only problem I had was the back seat belt holders digging in my back

[daz16v]

lol i know exactly what you mean.i tucked them down the back of the seats!

I probably should have done that but it was pitch black so I just had to bare it lol

What other plans have you got for the GTI then mate? I bet you cant wait to get back working again now
Seems to be hardly any jobs in this area at the moment, I was going to apply for a sales job in Demon tweeks a few weeks ago but the 2 positions were snapped up gutted

[daz16v]

Plans are:

Audi TT Pedals
Heater surrounds and centre of dash painted gloss black
Headlining retrimed in red alacantara
A,B,C pillar,jesus handles and sun visors painted matt black
Wrinkle black painted alloy cold air feed with red samco coupling hoses
Wrinkle black lids for expansion and washer bottles
8-10mm Wheel spacers for the front
New mats
Refurb wiper arms matt black
Wet sand headlights (if i can find the balls to do it lol)

Well theres the plans,probably take me quite a while to get it all done

[6N2 GTI 00]

Loving the plans mate, especially the wrinkle black alloy air feed and samco hoses

Audi TT Pedals are class too but can be quite pricey brand new, I remember I paid nearly £50 for mine nearly 3 years ago I was done lol

Unlucky bout the tent dude but least you had the polo instead of bein there with a mate and not bein able to get in the car lol

Plans sounding good mate TT pedals too common these days I think... Get some R32 pedals

[daz16v]

Really liking the R32 pedals actually.They a straight fit? And how much did they cost and where from if you don't mind me asking

[daz16v]

I've got a shut down off work for two weeks coming up at the end of July So I've decided to buy a few things in the weeks leading up to it so i've got a few things to keep me occupied during my time off.
I have ordered a Turtle wax headlight restoration kit off ebay,after seeing a few people have good results using them on club polo.Then i took a trip to demon tweeks today and picked up some samco hoses and wrinkle paint for my air feed and whilst i was there enquired about some wheel spacers.I wanted to space the front 10mm either side,but the smallest hubcentric ones i can find are 15mm
Im no good with offsets but i dont want the front poking more than the rears lol Can some help me with figuring it out please

my front wheels are 15x7 et 32 and the rear are 15x8 et 25

Any help would be much appreciated
thanks

Hi Daz! Do you still happen to have your old interior sitting around?!

Cheers,

Tim.

Sorry mate only just seen this post

R32 pedals was pretty much a straigh fit yes mate but the lug on the back of brake pedal I cut off cos was sick of trying to get it in for hours lol
They was around £55 from eBay dude, well worth it considering I priced them up from VW and was like £50 per pedal lol


As for your offsets if you add 15mm spacers your front offset will be 17 and rear offset should be 10 (anyone please correct me if I've got it wrong)

Try this website dude might give you an idea..... http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?wi ... mit=Submit

Hope this helps

[daz16v]

No sorry i sold my old interior

im only planning on spacing the fronts so the rear offset will stay at 25,i was wondering if a 7j wheel et17 wil poke more thank a 8j wheel et25?
thanks

Lookin at the offset and width you've given I can only imagine they sit flush with 1 another so might not need to space the front
