Thought i may as well get up and running with a 'build' thread

Got the car late last year after selling my bora :( Decided to wait a while until the weather got a bit better to start work

Car is a 1.2 s 64ps (possibly one of the worst engines ever produced!haha)

Not got much done to date just coilovers, plates, De-badge front grill and yellow fogs. Wheels have been purchased however awaiting refurb/tyres...

Wheels look spot on, mate. This is very tastefully done and I like it.

Like you've said just needs to go lower at the front, what coilovers you running?

cheers bud, I'm running JOM bluelines, should have gone for FK's i think as i believe you get shorter droplinks with them too...

i like you ride too dude :)

Ah right, do they go lower on the front than that?

Thanks bro, been a while since it looked like that though!

Wheels look really nice, suit the car beautifully :thumbsup:

Thank you :)

It's laminex on the lights, like a protective film. Pretty hard to install to be fair as there's alot of curveature on mk7 lights!

Might give it a go, looks really good, cheers!

If you're ever for any reason selling those wheels, PM me. :)
