[JamieG172]

Can I suggest you continue that conversation via pm as not to start a new topic in this one please

Ha sure, I got lazy!

Polo's looking sweet Greg, FK Angel Eyes are the next step on my 9n! Can't decide if just to colour code mirrors/handles and leave black rubbing strips, your's looks great as it is!

Thanks mate Yeh iv gone with the theme of silver and black. What colours your 9n? Colour coded handles make it look a bit more tidy in my opinion!

Fitted my GTI splitter a couple of days ago. I think the front end is complete now, and looks much more tidy The only thing now that needs to be done is to be lowered. I am looking at possibly getting some Eibach lowering springs soon - 45-50mm on front, 35-40mm on the back, so will keep you all updated

I also have my MOT tomorrow, which im hoping it will pass. There are no known problems I can see, so should be alright

Couple of pics:







Comments welcome

Looks Awesome Greg The finishing touch to the front end

I bet you cant wait to get your hands on Alex's GTI now lol

[gregperkins]

Thanks mate

Haha, you bet I think im going to do a bit of carbon vinyling on it, and little bits for my personal taste

[6N2 GTI 00]

Sounds good dude
When will you be getting the GTI now then Greg? I bet insurance is the major problem at the moment right?

Why havent you got a build thread on here dude?

[gregperkins]

Passed MOT easily Just got a couple of advisorys on my two front tyres, which are nearly worn to the legal limit which im very surprised about. Iv only had those tyres for about 6 months and covered around 2500 miles

Everything else is fine

[6N2 GTI 00]

Good Stuff Greg

Could be a tracking/alignment issue reference the tyre wear because 2500 miles is nothing.
You havent been doing any drag races have you ?

What brand of tyres are they?

[gregperkins]

Mm yeh it may be. Haha no drag races in my 1 litre would have no chance haha

They are Cooper Zeons

[alexperkins]

Definately camber mush I know that for a fact

Hi mate, I wish I did start a thread. Now my car is pretty much done. I had a standard 6n2 1.4 16V 100bhp in black.

I have replaced the rear bumper which was heavily scratched, rear wiper changed, scorpion dtm exhaust, BMC induction kit, Gti front grille, Gti splitter, Tints, Aero Wiper blades, New HT leads, New Cambelt, New H&R Sport kit 60/40, 16 inch wheels, Depo Angel eyes with HID, Soon to go on Gti rear spoiler.

Alex has helped/done with most of the fitting.

[gregperkins]

cant afford any more work on the car atm lol

Porbably best to get a 4 wheel full laser alignment, costs around £40-60 depending where you go but its worth doing
