What a joke by the AA, lookin good get the BBS on!

Do the 6n2s have a trip comp?

I've been a 6n guy you see!(I've had 11) I'm wanting a 6n2 tdi like yours 5 door aswell!

Keep hearing all these MPG figures but is there a trip comp to show you or are they just working it out there selfs?

yeah i really want them, but need to save first!

No not for the MPG :( ... i just do miles divided by litres, then times it by 5... that's roughly it, i usually get 50+ on an average run, but could easily get 60, if i weren't so heavy footed!

Been a while since i'be been on here, no real updates as of yet.. just saving money for new wheels for the season..

I've had my arches rolled, and i've gone down another 25mm!

i don't think my car really stands out at the moment, so i might start painting some things grey, have a black & Grey theme going... anyone reckon i should do it, i 'm thinking; mirrors, wheels and roof? but not really sure :/

Need some help!!

Thought you were selling up?

Been a while since i've been on here... finally got me membership pack after about 2/3 years on the site! haha!

Had my arches rolled a couple months back, and popped her down another 25mm all round... still drives fine!!

Saving up for some banded steels, and trying to locate someone to wrap my roof in Grey! :D

Enjoys these recent photos!

Car failed mot! Nightmare!!

Failed on, bake hose, ball joint, my HIDS, and two rear tyres. So nothing major really.

Got two tyres off my mate, and £20 later and a free re-test I've passed ;)

I'm now running 195/50's instead of 195/45's on the back, so I've had to wind her up 10mm as the scrubbing was mental. Oh well.

Saving monies to get my car wrapped, hopefully by the summer it will be done, need to find some new wheels also!post-36983-1364383905_thumb.jpg

Car is looking good.

Wasn't too sure on the carbon roof but i think it is slowly growing on me.

Any future plans after getting it wrapped?

Thanks Man 8-)

I have never really liked it, but i saw a few at UD, and it really grew on me!

well i need to get my paint sorted before getting it wrapped, i have alot of scratches/dings :( hoping to get some panels off someone breaking a 6n2.

Then either wrapped, or 14" Banded steels, stretch and more lows!!

Too many decisions and not enough money for both :x

Personally I'd go with new wheels over wrapping. Wrapping is a temporary solution so you're paying out a hell of a lot of money for something that in a few years will look terrible. You also can't polish it, and will eventually fade. Easily damaged too. Save your money for a respray I should, or go for wheels and lows, the car looks nice though

That's what i was thinking!! but so hard to make the decision. haha! but i would rather the wheels.

In anyone's opinion, would 14" 9J banded steels be too wide for my car? i want ultra lows!!!

Looking good man :) 14s will get you mega low, with 9j you will probably need some arch work to get it low and look right. you going 9j all round?

Got myself some new wheels.

8s & 9s wrapped in 195/45

Couldn't drive with them so need to try sort something out. But I quite like how they look on!

Any advice on how to make them fit nicely would be great. I've already had my arches rolled ;)

Few weeks ago, out on a small cruise around my hometown, my 'mate' decided so race ahead of me, and pull a handbrake turn right in front of me.... being in the rain , he pulled it off quite nicely, only catching the front end of my car, as i couldn't stop in time :x

Pissed off wasn't the word.... i was livid!

£80 and 18 hours later, a very Loyal garage got me back on the road :D
