  • Shes back in at last sooo happy with how she looks :) hope this pleases a few people lol

  • i know what you mean with the filler mate i do it myself, i tend to do it more when weather is a bit cold so it goes off quicker but i hate it when your just in the middle of a skim and it sets it pis

  • Can't wait to see it once you've got it all finished, paint job looks brilliant you've certainly got skills, are you bringing it to the Polo Show

how does that all work mate as i want to gain more negative camber on the rear of my car aswell?

  • Author

the camber schims have a slight angle to them and if you put the thickest end to the bottom and thinest to top you gain camber but beware it also puts your toe out by quite alot.

if you get some of these schims they come with a guide that tells you how much camber and what toe then you find the number it relates to and set that to the top.

Some great work you've done mate :)

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN thats nice!!!

loving the work on this !! cant wait to see yours and connors cars!! both such an inspiration! I'm runnin a similar setup car but I'm edging more and more to a smooth bay thanks to you two lol

Cannot wait to see this hit the shows up this year mate, very nice work. You can see youve put so much time and effort in and not followed everyone else on some of your ideas. Keep it coming mate :)

P.S. Nice slippers ;)

EPICC fair play to you fella!!

I'm unsure on them rear arches..... looking the only word i can say is thin ? if that makes sence.

If I did the same to my car I would never drive it again :D

car looks amazing dude :)

  • Author

cheers boys the arches ain't finished yet but i kinda know what you mean thing is tho its the only way i can get 8 1/2's on the rear :(.

an1mk4: do you actually drive your car? its so clean....... how.

gonna look the business my freind

will fill those arches nicely

i want this to be finished!

  • Author

yeah prox me to buddy i'm f**king itchin to drive the thing and really looking forward to taking it to some shows.

This would be perfect with the whole car the same colour as the bay, a front bumper not all smoothed and the plate in the normal place but shortened and 6n2 mirrors. (thats just my opinion obviously, dont take it the wrong way)

the bay is to die for and once you get those splitties done the way you want to it will look great :)

............. :shock: this is amazing
