9n3 White Progress Thread

Post by Tony Boi 92 »

Progress stopped for a week as my gear linkage went which meant I couldnt get into 1st or 2nd

:( :x

So got that straight into the mechanics, and got that sorted, nice quick job and well happy with it again

:o :roll:

Bonnnet struts are now out of stock so no chance of me getting any anytime soon :(

Bit more progress :

Old VW badge out

Image

Comparison

Image


And on

Image

Looks so much better, i love it !!!


Then got rid of my horrible sound deadening, makes dump valve louder and looks better underneath ;)

Image


Finally got a new windscreen as it was chipped to **** when i bought it :)

Image

And some new centre caps as mine were bobbled

Image

Also upgraded my reverse light to a Xenon ice white, makes it look cleaner :)

And removed my middle lower grill to show off my sexy intercooler

Pics to follow of these 2 mods soon

Looks good, just like looking at the front of mine apart from the yellow fogs, but please please adjust the bonnet :shock:

No worries, it's just trial and error until you get it lined up nicely...one of the first things I did when I got mine.

Got a bit bored, so thought, induction kit

So my K&N was ordered

Before you know it, the whole battery, whole air box was out and she was in ;)

Not forgetting the oil catcher, a free cleaning K&N kit, and sticker ;)
