Tom's Mercato Blue 6n2

Featured Replies

So I've changed the wheels.... :thumbsup:

And yes they're teledials, pretty original I think :ninja: Not really, I know, but I haven't seen anyone running as low on teledials as what I am, I'm not bragging, I just haven't seen any 6n2s with teledials as low and I think they work better lower and.. yeah... oh and they're cream, not black, just saying..

I haven't done a build thread because it's not really a project, I'm just changing bits every now and then, usually the wheels, and so it's not really that interesting!

I've got some audi wheels to refurb and fit which some of you may have seen the thread about the rim bolts? Well yeah they're the ones, anyway, here's the car, wanna go lower at the front and a whole load of other stuff but yeah I'll stop talking now.

I've got some other cool shots of it somewhere which I may put up if I remember/find them

Hopefully you don't consider it a waste of time clicking on this thread, sorry if you do feel that way, hope we can get past it :thumbsup:

Edit: Yes we do all have DC stickers in the same place, we're cool alright.

5 deffo mate, don't know why, I just sorta prefer the look of the windows better :) and you can get people in easier which means much scraping, always more fun when there's people to experience it with :lol:

Thanks man glad you like it :)

Little update (shock horror) I've bought some 25mm adapters to put on the back, actually got a whole set but I think it'll rub on the front with 25s, but we'll see, looking forward to getting them on next week anyway.

sexiest 5 door 6n2 I've seen

That means a stupid amount thank you! The photos do make it look nice :lol:

By the way, 25mm adapters are on, back raised ever so slightly for stance reasons (although it still lacks it....)

Roll on Poloshow this weekend when there'll be better photos of it hopefully!

Thanks man!

I do like the colour, but any colour can be nice if you work it right! I would love a white 6n2 they're cool.

Mate you are crazy putting your car underneath the back of that old lorry! Haha! Slammed to the max

Haha yeah it was so close we were all saying like "what would you do if that just fell?" :lol: you can see the blocks it was on are just crushed!

I want to go lower but would seriously struggle with the roads to work and would end up breaking it... That's why I'm selling end of the year and buying a Bora! :D

Have you rolled the arches?

Parked next to this at Polo Show today! Made my car look a bit high...

Nope, no arch work done. Oh except that massive gay lump in the front arch trim has been "adjusted" cos my old wheels rubbed on it badly.

Ah cool was yours the blue 6n on G60s?

^ Yes mate that was me. Not gonna lie I was pretty jealous of your wheels! :-)

Haha thanks man, I do like 'em even though people will say they've been over done.

I've sold the Audi wheels I mentioned so these will be staying on, but I'm happy with that, I think it's sitting really well now atm.

Few photos I took while trying to work out my brothers camera. I failed, but managed to make them pretty in Pshop.

I'm yet to get any of the whole car since I've raised the back up a bit, sits a hell of a lot better! I spotted one or two people getting a snap of the car at the show today so hopefully they'll pop up somewhere soon.

I went out today to get some decent photos of how the car is standing with the raised back.

I got quite a few but here's two of my favorite for now.

So yesterday I got a message from a friend about some BBS reps for sale, he hooked me up with the chaps bbm and I ended up going to look at them in the evening.

They're 16x7s on front and 9s on the back. 'Only an inch bigger diameter' I thought! Anyway I turned up and they looked huugee! I put one against the car and I was like naahhh that's just not going to work! The guy said "why don't you take two, go and test fit'em and see?"

So I did and well, here's how it looked...

Unfortunately I couldn't get a photo from behind because it was getting too dark but I can tell you it looked poop. So I didn't get them, although I had to think about it a bit because it didn't look too bad from some angles. But I thought it's sitting so well on the teledials just forget it.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share that with you all. 16x9s with 20 odd offset don't work on 6n2s (unless perhaps you did loads of archwork!)

Hope you're all good.

Tom
