Re: someph-ing different...........

so what's your plan for your wheels then? as you said you were going to do something similar?

I'm thinking antharcite wheels, keeping the standard BBS ones and refurbing them and add a mustard coloured band as the mustard may go well with the scarab grren of the Exclusive.

Re: someph-ing different...........

i think you'll find that what i did is a far sight easier than removing all the dash..... once you know how of course

I would highly recommend Ferrodo (sp) DS2500 pads mate, with brembo High Carbons.

The ph1 has them on it and they are superb. So much so that i will be ordering some shortly.

Re: someph-ing different...........

the brakes were all done just before christmas so will not be changing in the near future, other things to think about and spend money on first

Re: someph-ing different...........

MOT pass yesterday after headlight alignment, new rear number plate light and a lower ball joint.

purchasing TAX today,

also had the rear coilover locking rings removed so it will sit lower again.

Re: someph-ing different...........

cheers mate...

must say it feels so good to drive, deffo feels quicker, love the sense you get in a stripped car, noise etc etc....close to my valver, which is a good thing...

more ideas then

had this idea a long time ago, taken from the vw boys to be fair, i know that another member is also thinking about this so not sure who will be the first to do it.... unlike the wheels.....dig dig...anyways, thoughts are welcome on it...

before

thoughts welcome

also am thinking about getting the top of the dash flocked or coated in suede, but fanc something slightly different and possibly want yellow stitching in this..think that would look sweet, thoughts welcome on that too

Re: someph-ing different...........

Carbon roof skin FTW ;)

1 step ahead of you there lol, £1400ish to be doing it though which has put me off.

i know im not the 'other' person whose mentioned it, but then he shouldnt of also mentioned it to me mwahaha

I think everyone has had the same idea about the black roof.

Re: someph-ing different...........

Re: someph-ing different...........

Theres a lot of nice Phase 1's round here but I reckon this might be my favourite project. Leave the roof as it is i think... Can't imagine the suede interior although yellow stitching sounds lovely.

Re: someph-ing different...........
