Sounds good man!!

Get some lower pro tyres!!

I'm jealous of your engine and model!! E ftl!

Looks good! Really nice colour and loving the numberplate

I promised some more pics and here they are.

As you can see a little bit has changed, i de-wipered the rear and have sprayed the front rubstrip gloss black. I'm gonna match the rears up at somepoint and either do the same with the sides or get rid of them completely. I've decided on the wheels i want and all i need is sell the last of the stuff from my old mk4 Golf to and i'll be ordering them and getting some audio sorted too. I'm also gonna get some pressed plates ordered too as i hate the current ones!

Beautiful colour man!

Looking cool!

I've got a white 5 door slammed on g60s niceee work

Well i went to look at some wheels today and have decided i NEED them in my life! All i need is my Air Ride from my old Golf to sell first Let me know what you think of em. Oh, and i was in the back checking clearence, and tbh, there isn't any, arch rolling time i think!!!

and a quick photoshop makes it look like this

also got my mate to tint the headlights whilst he was at it and i'm liking the results!!

GET THEM! They look mint on your car! you do actually need them in your life! haha, are they compomotives mono's?

Yep, there only about a month old aswell and off a Clio, should have them at the end of the month if all my plans go right for once haha.

Yes to the TH Monos, just need some tyre shine ;]

TH's = win! do it!

Well i pick up the TH Mono's tommorow morning, i'm well excited lol. Also gonna order my Momo steering wheel this week and some camber shims for the rear. Here are some pics from today after cleaning. Oh, and i got some fresh plates made this morning too as the old ones where just vile!!!

I picked up my new wheels today so am rather happy atm, Also got a headunit and sub all sorted out so just need to connect it all up. Some pics of the new wheels

I'm definately going to need to get some camber going and maybe some arch work to get the tyres sat under the arches!!!

the wheels look smart!

I've now fitted the wheels on properly. I had to raise the rears up so the tyres don't rub too much and wound the front left all the way down! Not the best pics in the world but when it's sunny i'm sure i'll get more Oh, and i think i might be addicted to stickers lol

On Sunday I went round to try and help my mate un-seize the coilovers on his 6n. We failed but I thought i'd take the opportunity to take some quick pics. What's annoying me though is it's still not low enough for me yet :( Time to take the helper springs out i think and get some rear camber going. So looks like i'll need to modify the front arch liners to get it to all fit under there.

Oh, and i'm going to take a trip to VW on Saturday to order some bits!!

Loving it mate, IMO one of the best colours for a 6n2. Get a splitter and a gti grill and it will look sweet!

Yer, i love the colour more and more every day!! Gti splitter is definitely on my shopping list but i'm not to keen on the grill. So the standard one will stay for the moment!

New wheels look great dude! Remember its not all about lows, looks nice as it is.

Sure it would look real good with more lows and camber though!

Well there's some good news and some bad news with my build at the minute. A day after going to DC11 my gearbox decided it was going to die. It's not blown up but i didn't want to risk getting it that far so have stopped using it for the minute. Just need to weigh up whether to get the old box rebuild or buy a second hand one.

On the plus side, i had a nice note when i got home saying a parcel had been left with one of my neighbours. Upon opening it i found the things below enclosed (except for the plates which were bought at DC11)

So if nothing else i can fit my steering wheel and camber shims whilst i sort the gearbox issue out. Updates as and when they happen

your estate was better :p

wheels are nice tho

hahaha, i was looking at some pics of the estate tonight and your right, it was better. And i was about to take it to the next level but sort of chickened out!! Looking at changing this next year for an Audi estate though, but still, i'm going to make it as nice a temporary measure as i can!!

As i've can't drive it anywhere at the minute i decided to do some painting of the front rubstrip. it's a rubbish job when seen up close but it'll do for the minute. Should getting a gearbox delivered tomorrow so it may just be back on the road for the Polo show. Still, here's some fresh pics from today :)

i also removed a shed load of stickers form the rear window. it was covered all the way across and tbh i had falen out with the look of it. I've now brought it back to a sensible level again :grin:

before:

after:

Happy days at last, my gearbox is now fixed (well, replaced). Just needs a little bit of adjusting to get smoother chnages but it's a start. So nice to be back driving again after 6 weeks lol. This week will now mostly consist of getting it ready for the Polo Show.

quick pic from today

oh, and if anyone wants to fit my Momo steering wheel at the Polo Show for a few beer's i'd be very grateful
