so i though i would add them all in one place so i can update it.
all comment good or bad welcome.
and also advice on what else you think should be done will be good
this is the 1.4 mk4 that i used to have.
i got rid of this car due to it been rubbish tbh lol
i then needed to get a newer car that will be more reliable.
after alot of mooching about i found this car.
a 1.4 TDi Sport with every extra except leathers.
in mint conditon.
after staying standard for about a week i replaced the exhaust with the exhaust from a skoda fabia vrs.
(the exhaust tip still hits my bumper on bumps though
)
then nothing happened to the car for a month or so as i'm only a poor 19 yr old apprentice.
after owning the car for 2 months the tracking was so badly out that my tyres were bald down to metal on the insided so i needed new tyres.
a perfect oppotunity to invest in some new shoes.
found these BBS II split rims for sale in excellent condition:
only problem was they had mahusive tyres on.
got the correct tyre size on them, and put the on the car:
now the car looked like a tractor but as i needed to get to work on a crap road that was ok with me!!
then whilse browsing the internet i found a votex full body kit.
as i have been looking for one for a long time i decided to buy as the price was low to say the least.
included all parts and fitting instructions and fitting kit. (with rock hard glue
)this price also included painting too. and what a good paint job also i mist add
this is sat in my garage though until i can get it to a bodyshop or the weather warms up to fit it.
then the problems started:
firstly my injectors decided to break, VW charged me nearly 500 to fix.
but now runs smoothly.
then on the way home from work my front suspension spring decided to break.
not only did it break but also came off the car, just missing the bmw that was overtaking me.
and as i needed new springs and bearings on the car i decided this was the best time to introduce my cars underneith to the floor.
lowering kit went on, lowering the front approx -60mm and back about -50mm.
this picture shows the gap (still a big gap) in the arch and my poorly alloy.
the centre cap got stolen, and the polished lip has also died.
nothing i do to it removes the sh!t that is on it. (maybe a few tips to get it shiny again here
)well thats my progress up to now.
the zebra, ha ha.
further plans are to:
1) fit votex kit
2) colour code gront grill and reverse sensors
3) 10mm front spacers, 15mm rear to make it look that bit better
4) possibly light tints all round
any comments welcome.
i will post pictures of the votex kit as it gets put on hopefuly in the next week or two.
lol
