My mk1 Black Magic VRS

Featured Replies

Just thought I'd put a couple of progress pics on of how my car has evolved (not much) since I've had it (about 8 weeks).

First thing I did was get my small plate on as soon as I got it home, then got the grille vinyl wrapped in black:

Secondly a mate decided he wanted to make me a 3" cold air feed to replace the useless stock one while I was on holiday:

I then bought coilovers (just cheap ones, I don't see the need for expensive ones) and sold my standard wheels, so was rocking Seat Leon wheels for a few days

9had terrible reverse rake):

Then I bought some 17" Audi TT 7 spokes from a lad on here and this is how it currently stands, oh I bought some Bosch aero flat blades as well:

Hopefully picking up a new badge soon, the last 2 have decided they didn't want to stay on the car :(

Future plans:

2.5" turbo-back straight pipe,

Hybrid PD150 turbo, or similar spec when mine eventually blows,

Lamin-X headlights and fogs,

Paint inside headlights black,

Get 195/40/17 tyres when the current huge ones wear out,

Paint wheels either a very shiney silver, or matte black (undecided, opinions would be great),

Tint rear windows slightly,

Get rear end painted as it has a poor paint jobs and a few marks I want removing.

As you may have guessed with all the black stuff I want doing I like the murdered look :)

Those tyres look huge though. Your speedo must be way out?

Surprisinglly below 60 mph, it is spot on with my satnav then it starts to get out of synch. Can't wait to get the money for the new tyres though, will look loads better and have a better stance :)

You coming to the meet this month?

Would be good to see what the ride is like on your coilovers.

Everything black and moody :)

Sam: Might go, Jamie mentioned it when I was at Shark on Tuesday night. I'll have a look in the meet section for the details bud. My coilovers are bouncey because the front is set as low as it will go with the helper springs still in.

Ahh so you went with Shark in the end then?

Not yet, picked my wheels up from Jamie there. Met Ben, who seems a great bloke so will more than likely take my car there when I get the money again probably some time around christmas/new year maybe?

Can't wait to get the money for smaller tyres! Still need to raise the back a little bit though as I still have reverse rake and the front is wound all the way down :(

The TT alloys look absoloutley sweet!!! Bea-utiful!
