Well after only 2 weeks of ownership I have started to modify the VRS!!! This is site is a hive of good advice with reguards the "to do" mods!!!

My headunit went in today! new kenwood double din! Top unit - highly recommended - only thing i dont like is the backlighting is blue - dash is green! Took me over and hour to get all the wiring sorted!

Not bad - bought of ebay - new and unused!

Also my PD160 inlet and K&N arrived a few days ago - Seat Sport strut brace arrived this morning. need to get Suspension (just springs and shocks - 40mm Koni or Weitec), rear arb is a must. maybe see if I have enough money left over to source an exhaust and a remap!

I've started refurbing my TT comps - stripped the face with Nitromors and the inner sections and the first 3 now look like this:-

Unfortunately the inner of the 4th wheel looks like this:-

To say i'm a bit annoyed is an understatement - on the look out for a single wheel! :(

Them wheels look very nice indeed good job

that damage looks repairable to be honest. Edit: Actually, can I see clear air between the rim and the edge of the wheel? :eek: I thought it was just the kerbing damage not a splitting job.

yep - its a 2 inch crack over the rim and you can see through it a little

:(

The one in the photo is a pioneer :P:)

I like those wheels on a fabia

Sorry - yeah - I was bidding on 2 on ebay - 1 kenwood - 1 pioneer. I thought I'd won the other one. But I won the Pioneer!

Looking good mate, like the idea of the double din stereo.

This forum is terrible, if it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't have leather seats and also wouldn't have arranged a cruise control retrofit. Ah well.

+1

I'm now going to pick up a RARB at the weekend and i have been hunting for bigger brakes!!! Damn forum haha

Those wheels looks awesome! hope you can find another one somewhere! they will look quality on the car

.. I also wouldn't have £200 rear anti roll bar sat under my bed, have spent a fair chunk of money on a pressure washer and snow foam supply... the list is endless

Current to do list:-

Still got over £1000 to play with!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sold my G40 + VRS cost less than I expected!)

order rear ARB (£120)

deicde on what to do with suspension (Springs & shocks or coilovers) (about £300)

buy tyres for TT comps (£250)

then either exhaust or remap!

lucky f**K haha i really need to sort out suspension on mine! but still dont know what to go for? once done will get my kerscher carmonas!

the car should look really nice once all those bits have been put on mate!! look forward to seeing progress pics!

NIce work so far on picking up the sterio and wheels.

Shame about the cracked one though.

Real pain.

Coilovers all the way.

You can get a set for just over £300.

Looking forward to seeing this progress.

I normally have to work on a project car slowly as and when i can afford parts. But with a bit extra left over from the sale of my G40. I can advance a bit quicker than normal!

I'm hoping to source another TT comp from another forum - Plus a local company has said they could try welding this one for £25. I'll get the wheels sorted for after new year! Tyres will probably by Toyo's or Uniroyals!

I know coilovers are they way to go - but dont want to go too low!

Also decided i'll upgrade my front door speakers and rear speakers to aftermarket ones!

What size tyres you going for?

215's or 205's?

205/40's on the Comps

I know coilovers are they way to go - but dont want to go too low!

Don't blame the coilovers - it's the owners that wind them down :P Get the coilovers and set them at a height you're happy with.

Then wind them down.

My other car is this low:-

Yes the Scirocco is mine too!

ooooo an original scirocco..i like!!!

what made you go for the 3 spokes?? no matter how many times people have tried to make them work i still dont like them lol but rat look for the win

The 3 spokes are very rare - only 3 sets in the UK. Were originally fitted to mk3 polo convertables that were made by Treser in the early 90's - only 115 cars built.

They are 7x15 et 32 with 195/45/15 toyo's they sit just nice with a 80/70 drop!

The Scirocco has been in my family for about 5 years now. I was given it when i sold my Audi Quattro to get me home. Was just going to scrap it once I got back upto Scotland. But really enjoyed driving the old thing. I re-MOT'd iut and it passed with no bother. Then given to my sister to drive. and when she went over to germany to live she left it with my parents - its sat on their driveway for 3 years. Put new tyres on, checked the fluids and put in for an MOT - passed first time. The underside is mint (other then a section of the rear valance which has had a ding!) engine is good. But interior looks tired!

good ol vag there for ya haha loving the number plate on it too!! selling my mk2 at the moment which is spotless and has been dry stored for 9 years! pity i have to sell as just got engaged :(....i mean woooo haha

any luck with another finding another alloy?

Those 3 spokes are soooooo sik.

Got alocal engineering company to weld and turn it for me!

I've also got this:-

Its a Mk2 90 spec GTD - 1.6 TD - teaked, lowered, upgraded brakes, exhaust, VDO centre console with gauges, G60 interior. One of 5 in the country this colour!

that looks lovely and its a derv too!!

this is mine which is now on ebay

i will miss it as it was a laugh but the money i get for it will go on new wheels for the vrs and some coilovers! maybe some tints too if i get enough

hmm - small bumpers and sexual!
