can a clever photoshop person please have a go at doing the wheels black? and then try black with a silver lip?

thanks in advance.

Epic cars. I've got a red one. 8v?

 

[davesport172]

yeah it is dan, had a few bits done to it, going to de chav it over the weekend!

even though its 16 years old, it feels tighter and miles better built than the clio!

its only done 98k with full vw service history! was farily cheap too sdo pretty happy!


you happy with yours? anything i should bear in mind??

I've got a common ECU solenoid problem apparently as it cuts out every few days. No biggy really. (according to the VW forums). Thats being fixed tomorrow then i'll sell it. Mine being red means its faded to pink as well.

I love mine, I lent it to a mate about 6 weeks ago and i'm hopefully getting it back monday! lol.

Really good cars. Awesome engineering quality.

yeah from everything i've read, the only common thing seems to be the abs light coming on, indicating possible sensor failure. and other minor ecu related issues.

its got a bonnet bra on it, and i was deffo going to sell that, but its starting to grow on me! i feel dirty!!

looks lovely that mate, always think those wheels look awesome on them. audi tt ones right??

 

[j26]

cheers pal, yeah audi tt comp wheels when polished they look great. it had 195/40/17 tyre with a slight stretch but just needed coillys to finish it off

im trying to find a different set of wheels at the minute, not sure about these seat wheels, looking for some nice audi/vw wheels. i dont want to go bigger than 16" really. i also need to find a standard airbox, induction kits are supposed to be crap on these!

Since no one is honouring your PS request, I will. Slam it, stance it and paint the wheels satin black, that's all it needs. and a lot of back to black on the plastics:

thanks mate! it does need the plastics sorting! job for tomorrow, its already lowered 60mm, i dont really fancy going any lower due to speed bumps on our road, may have to get the wheels done though, i like the look of that!
