The roof rack looks like you're trying "too hard"

Without looks much better IMO

 

[Jason_E]

[lbrench]

[Jason_E]

[Jason_E]

[lbrench]

What's going on with the cream wheels? Have you currently got one purple one cream and two silver?

Apart from not having cream wheels, the car's looking really quite nice, not OTT. If you did the wheels cream I think a cream roof rack would look mint. (I'd have it powder coated so it didn't scratch mind)

 

[Jason_E]

Currently I have 1 Purple wheel LOL!

Not going to bother giving them a proper refurb as the winter is rolling in, so was going to matt black them with a luminous paint splatter on them. Just to be a little less boring. Then next spring will pay for a decent refurb!

 

[Rob]

I'd just spray that purple wheel up in silver, if you get a slightly different silver colour, spray the one on the same side too. Looks pretty smart in silver IMO.

 

[.GAZ.]

I might buy them wheels for my Golf.

Yeah, but I wanna do something random with them. Might do them properly next year in a nice silver

Audi TT Turbines mate. Plenty of reps on ebay!

Hmmm.

Coming along nicely! Out of interest, do you get a lot of attention from the police with regards to the front registration plate? I've always toyed with the idea of taking mine off for some reason! Think it was Christopher on here who posted a photo of his Racing Blue without a plate on, and it looked brilliant!

Not really, I've been pulled once for it, and even then they just asked why it wasn't on the front and left me to it. But everyone else I know have had theirs off for over a year with no problems. As long as it's in the window they aren't too fussy.

 

[Ray Gin]

Haven't read all the thread, so sorreh if these have been mentioned,

Did you get a shallow sump, or a sump guard? Most people say the shallowER sumps are better, as the guard itself decreases ground clearance even more. I assume ARB and Drop Links have been removed?

Did you get the chassis notched for driveshaft clearance?

All that's been done is a removal of the ARB. Want a chassis notch soon though!.

 

[Ray Gin]

Lol you running that low on a standard sump? Mine scrapes the floor over bumps in the road on standard height! ( MK4 Golf) And with Coilovers being bought next week I def need a solution there LOL

 

[Jason_E]

You have a TDI engine though mate, lower sump. Mines not bad but the dogbone mount is lower so i scuff that first. It's all about driving carefully tbh! You get used to it

 

[Ray Gin]

Ohhh my bad, assumed it was a Diesel. I envy Petrol sump heights!

 

[Jason_E]

V5 is one of the lowest, Kissing the floor as standard haha! 2.0 is a bit crap too. 1.4 and 1.6's sit quite well. Still have scuffs on mine mind you!

 

[Tom 46]

Jason, could you tell me who's going to do your arches? Need mine done desperatly!

 

[Jason_E]

Jason, could you tell me who's going to do your arches? Need mine done desperatly!

Arches have been done (Forgot to put that too). It's a friend who does it for people local so probably useless to you mate!

 

[_Tom]

1.8t is loooow too. I can't beleive mines not gone yet! Haha

 

[Jason_E]

You got raisers for your engine did ya not?

 

[Ads_172]

I'd be very surprised to see any TDi sump scrape on the floor over 'normal' road bumps when standard ride height.

Engine raiders are the future though. Gives the sump 2" of clearance which means that the subframe takes all the abuse - and they can take abuse!

 

[_Tom]

Yeah mate but she still taps time to time and it's ruined from when I didnt have them

 

[Daniel]

Theres an awful lot of chit chat and not a lot of updating going on in here...

 

[Jason_E]

Update: Daniel takes it in the batty. And likes it too.

Seriously though I'm a poor student, haven't got much money but come payday things will change.

 

[Ads_172]

Any more of that black Golf?

And i loved the cream wheels btw
