thanks man.....loooking forward to seeing those on the car.... :-D

full mot n tax........

only 67k on the clock...maritime blue..... see how it goes......

i won't hijack you thread anymore

lmao dont worry bud

liking the loon mate, makes me want to weld a boot on mine :-D

any advice on painting wheels so they look as good as yours? i know theoretically it's clean, sand down, prime, paint, laquer, polish.

but i just got a set of audi 80 alloys that are looking rough and really want them looking tip top for when i bolt them on.

just want to know what sandpaper you used, how many coats etc. Also were they painted outside in the open?

Thanks,

Mat.

the wheel were sanded with halfords own brand took them back to bare metal then using halfords primer i think i used 1 big can for two wheels then for color i used 1 can for each wheel then laquer 1 can per wheel that way i know the finish will last and yeah i sprayed them out side just make sure you wet the surrounding area first with a hose stops dust blowing on the paint and dont spray in the wind really screws things up lol

anyway update will get pics up soon

vw2 calipers arrived need new discs pads and hoses

fitted gt clocks

teardrops have tyres on the way lol been long enough

new exhaust on the way (oem till mot is done then down to philj)

new shocks and springs on the way 60/40

and i have a 1.4 16v waiting to go in

let us no if u sell the new oem exhaust when u get the stainless need a backbox for mine

will do bud tbh i cant wait I'm sick of the fart noise everytime i start it

so today was the day the loon got slammed hard its now 80mm lower at the front and it looks fantastic sunday ill be lowering the back to 60mm and then its just a case of getting everything buttoned up and then back on the road pics shall be up when its light out

Yes!!!

Get them teardrops on it NOW!

judging by the tyre tracks i believe it may be a gate...

looks good!

that was a garden belive it or not because its not taxed or tested thats where she lives until mot time and it aint no gate i took the panel away moved the car on replaced the panel as craig will tell you when we all next meet up lol

i could put the teardrops on but i dont think they look right and dont know if they will even fit now may just have to buy some wellers or mattigs

dont do it teardrops will fit get them on will look sweet as and every 1 goes for mattigs there boring your teardrops are different

its grim having cars parked up like that, mines not moved in like 6 weeks :/.

what are those centre caps off that are on your steelies? they look wiked somethin to make em a tad difference:P

Been looking for some and can't find any.. ??

the centre caps are off a 6n i belive they were a good investment as they look great painted

guess what i did today (and no I've not painted them)

Well, there not VW1's

quite right toby I've done the brakes now and she is fully decked as of yesterday so much so that i cant climb kurbs lol but the mot is next friday and all being well she will pass I've checked almost everything i can and it looks good

very nice great success ! looking gd tho mate

well today is crunch time she has gone to the mot man was one of them drives were i was nervous about every bump and noise fingers,toes,arms,legs and eyes crossed now

turns out i was right to be nervous well at least the klaxon passed the mot not much else did though
