Si's mk2 vrs is no more. *SOLD*

[SNH]

Like the interior bits, nice to see something different

Cheers.

It has got me wanting more done though

[SNH]

Quick bath.

[SNH]

Polish, camber, reflection, poke and shiny

[SNH]

Quick (rubbish) edit to see how it'll look once smoothed

And a random visit to ingoldmells for fish and chips tonight

[Guest]

What's your plans now si? Still gunna use it to pull the horses? Or keeping it low?

[SNH]

Keeping it low dude, it's not weight rated enough to tow so we'll have to get a 4x4 workhorse.

Bodywork is still on the agenda smooth f bumper and tailgate

Solid topmounts

Think I've busy a shock so that needs checking

Wheels are in dire need of a full refurb

Mtc ind kit and an exhaust

Etc etc

[SNH]

I'm in bad books with her indoors!

1) hitting a pothole and getting a puncture is my fault!

2) she's got it stuck on a speed ramp this morning and couldn't move it!

That's also my fault apparently

[Guest]

Aha, women always need something to complain about.

Pot holes are getting really bad around here at the moment. I avoid them like the plague. Always a pis* take when it happens thou.

[SNH]

I thought I'd missed it dude, turns out it was bigger than expected!

Still getting earache for her getting it stuck. Had to get some blokes to shove it while she was trying to get traction lol, kids said it was like a see saw and caused a bit of a traffic jam

[Guest]

Aha. I had an earful the other day when scraping on a curb.

And on the way home from shopping I mentioned about going down my mates garage on the weekend so he can fit my new wheel to my car and I mentioned I may even lower it a little bit more, and she started with the earache straight away.

I just turn the CD player up to drown her out whilst in the car. At home I just shut off

[SNH]

Haha, she's always got something to moan about regarding it.

Too low

Too hard

Wheel colour

It wasn't designed to be that low

Blah blah blah

Goes in one ear and out the other lol.

Ordered a new grill the other day.........moan moan!

Ordering some solid adj topmounts, yep you guessed it.. Moan moan

"You love your car more than me" is a common line too

[SNH]

New grill.

Needs painting but that'll come.

[Guest]

I like the grill, but would prefer the badge to be there.

How do you open your bonnet now thou? Doesn't seen to be a gap for the pull?

[SNH]

It would have looked odd with just a front badge so this was my only option.

Some cut the handle down but I've just bent it round so it doesn't catch the grille

[SNH]

Bonnet catch

[SNH]

Car is poorly so the to do list is:

New battery

Compbrake topmounts

4x 205/40/18's

Concerns that one of my FK shocks is bust but I'll check that once I strip it to fit topmounts.

Bumpstops x4

I had 95% considered throwing the towel in and reverting bk to normal but it just came 3rd out of 38 cars for a charity calendar photoshoot and after seeing how the smooth front bumper idea looks I'm going to carry on with it.

Smooth Bumper

Then there's the rear to smooth and arches to flare.

Wheel colour change or maybe a wheel change will also happen.

[SNH]

Ordered a twin pillar pod aswell so I can make my own up again. Will house boost and volts so I can keep an eye on things.

[lee_vrs]

Loving the smooth bumper look

[SNH]

Loving the smooth bumper look

I'd already planned to have it done but seeing this has put my mind to rest as to what it'd look like

[Guest]

Looks interesting Si. Will wait until I see the finished product until I make my mind up on it. Not normally a fan of smoothed bumpers but the top too certainly do look good.

[SNH]

Mine hasn't got the washers for the lights either which should look a bit better.

Need to get the to do list sorted first though.

[SNH]

Found the cause of my bang!

[SNH]

Impulse purchase!

Mk3 project gti

Needs a bit of love and is only an 8v (for now) but it's wearing 8.5 & 10j 17" borbet A's.

Was ridiculously cheap so couldn't say no.

Skoda love may get put on hold for a while

[Guest]

Keep as posted nonetheless

[SNH]

Keep as posted nonetheless

Chassis notch is next on the list for the vrs, it's just catching my mate with some free time lol.

Golfs home and let's just say I've got some work to do lol
