after wanting one for a while i picked this 20v turbo up for a pocket pleasing £550

good history and just gone over 110k its fantastic, completely standard when i got it about 3 weeks ago,

its now on coilovers tt wheels, custom exhaust and induction, all new suspension components on the front and a clutch while i was there, both front window regs changed and the heated leathers got a clean, simple audio system with dls amps focal comps and a jl sub to keep me happy.

the only problem.......... the colour!

i'm hoping to satin black it as soon as i get a couple of days free, and was thinking of facelifting the front end if i can find the bits cheap enough.

Them pictures was taken just down the road from me haha.. Good mods so far

Good to see another estate car getting the treatment. See you at the Waterloo meet.

bit of an update today with body repairs being the main aim

bit of modification to the bumper before mesh is fitted

and a one off rear spoiler fitted too

just got to get the paint, finish prep and find somewhere dry to put the paint on it.

got some paint on today before it rained, i need to find somewhere inside to do it really.

This will look good in satin black. Very stealth

yeah especially when i finish the mouldings in gloss and refurb the wheels gunmetal grey

Dont forget to notify the DVLA of the colour change as its a painted its permenant.

Interesting project car, will be watching.

yeah i'll do that when its all done, did all that when i colour changed my impreza a few years ago

been busy this week, got some more paint on

chose to gloss the roof to match the spoiler (needs a flat and polish yet)

smoked the headlights and indicators

had nightmares with the front bumper as its been painted before and was peeling off all over the place, not sure what paint they used but anything i put on it is doing this

so more flatting and sealing to be done yet....

and i bought these last night

going to change the colour and fit asap, also bought a vrs intercooler as mine is looking past it and an uprated re circ dump valve too.

The grill has been left as i've got a debadged mesh one coming from germany.

This is looking good! think i will keep an eye open next time i drive past (normally drive with my eyes shut! )

Nice one. Looks a million times better. Needs a remap..... :think:

looks nuts Lee. i should pop down and have a gander

cheers mate, its getting there, not quite to the standard i'd like but i'm fighting the weather and it needs to be finished for friday so i can see me going over bits again when i've got more time.

Sweet looking gooood

Looking good pal....

Estates are the future my friend!!!...

Craig...

well today saw the wheels painted, the grill arrived but i'm not sure now its on if it looks ok, and the dump valve is on but the car now feels really flat mid range so i think it may come off again for now. Tomorrow should see some more pics when the wheels are on.

Liking the satin look, different! but better than green....

Defo a rise of the estates. keep it coming

one more but its getting dark now

just got to finish the front bumper, paint the calipers and gloss the mouldings.

decided against the grill in the end so that'll be up for sale

and i think some 5mm spacers all round as i'm missing the offset of the audi wheels

not much to update other than i've been enjoying it, got a couple of photo's at the graffitti tunnel meet, changed most of the stereo system, serviced it and got hid's and led bulbs, de cat fitted........................................ oh i treated myself to an early christmas present and got it remapped, its now a totally different car, pops and bangs on every gearchange and goes like stink!!!

Now thinking of different wheels, something bigger, wider and meaner then i can go a bit lower.

That looks beasty! Very cool indeed :-) like what you've done with the tail lights

Nice, I bought my 20vt estate from down the road in Greenhithe

What coilovers are you running~? What does it ride like?

What is that spoiler?

did you get the silver one from the car sales???? saw that one days after getting mine.

coilovers are fk ones from a golf and ride is firm but comfortable

spoiler is from an impreza wagon, just because i've got a few lying about thought it would be different

NEW WHEELS!!!!!!!

loving these, but still more work to do before they stay on, couple of tyres and repair a crack then decide what colour to spray the centres (answers on a postcard)

the front will come down 15mm or so

looking really good !!!!!!
