Couldn't help noticing jarno but Merc wheels!

Image

The thing is, I've been trying to get hold of a set of adapters for them, however no-one here in the uk provides for such fitments as they say that some of the bolt holes cross each other when trying to combine the polo's 4 x 100 PCD with the merc 5 x 112.

And i was wondering how you manage to get across this, that's if you are using the merc wheels! I've found this site, but I'm not entirely sure if it's legit as everything is in dutch?

They're not mine m8 ;) 18inchers are just way to much for a mk4 :lol: there for my m8s Audi A4.

The site you've posted up is legit, know some people who drive on those adapters from concept wheels, and they're good quality!

Up-date:
Had my way with a board of multiplex yesterday, tottaly shredded the thing up ^_^

New frame for the airride pressure gauges:

Also a frame for the control buttons for the airride:

Holes made and popped in 1 switch for the photo:

Got me some black (skay-)leather today, and trimmed the mounts and then the airride controls can all go in B)

Sort of :wink: will post up some specs lateron when all is working properly!


Started on the boot-trim yesterday, here's a little insight in what it should go and look like. Trying to keep it as "clean" and sober as possible:

After work started doing some stuff on the mk4 again, ticked a few boxes of the "To-Do"-list:

-sealed the interior-filter housing, now it's 101% waterproof
-installed my smoothed tanklip
-completely cleaned out the front wheelarches, and sprayed them in a nice new layer of black bodyschutz

Tanklip:

Arches:

As soon as they're dried up, the new arch-mud-things (don't new the english word for them, sorry) can be installed and modded to get the airride lower on the front :mrgreen:

Sorry people, kind of forgot to keep it posted on here too :oops: my mistake :oops:

Well, bought me some new pedals at the Worthersee Tour 2009

Image

Image

Control-buttons for the airride installed:

Image

Don't mind the dirty console, but installed my new button for the boot-popper, original VAG-button! :mrgreen:

Image

Image

And got the airride all hooked up, installed and fully working again!

Image

3 movies I made of the airride:

Testing the rear axle

Testing both the front and rear, the boot popper and interior-lighting


And testing the control for the pressure-switch

New bulbs in the headlights :lol:

Image

And the mk4 is at the garage of me mate with the bi-turbo'd mk4, getting a new MOT (or APK in Dutch :mrgreen: )

Cheers, took me some bloody months to track down it's part-number to order it. Then it took some weeks for it to arrive at my local VW-dealership, that little button travelled quite some miles to get to me I can tell you :mrgreen:

Also, at the Worthersee meeting I talked to a lot of guys from the E38-crew, the VW Players crew and the Havoc-GTI crew, and I'm so need to come over to E38 this year :mrgreen:
