06 Black Magic VRS

[Phil-W]

Could at the very least do with new shocks, even if the are standard ones.

[Paul thornton]

I will more than likely go for the H&Rs as they are weighted correctly for the VRS and are only a slight drop, i don't want to go any lower on the back as it will rub.

What's the ride like on just springs?

Its still quite hard on springs, will be nowhere near as bad as coilovers though I expect....

[Fear]

Phil, was thinking of new shocks down the line if not now if affordable. Would love konis or similar but they are pricey to say the least!

[Phil-W]

I'm pretty sure the H&R's are fine with standard shocks if you are only getting the 20mm ones, they are about the only ones which are I think!

[Fear]

Yeah only gonna go for the 20mm ones so hoping they would be alright. Although to get the best out of them uprated shocks would be better.

Need to get a passenger ride in one with them i think.

Need to get it sorted though, otherwise its back to standard or change of car :(

Looks spot on buddy

Im well chuffed with the final look! SWMBO thinks less of them, comparing them to cobwebs at one point! Mind you at least she noticed these, the R32s she was oblivious to!

[VRS-Steve]

Chrome definitely, makes the rim look bigger from a distance.

[Fear]

Right so definatly decided on chrome centre cap rings, but ive also decided that im maybe not sure on the black carbon effect logos either. So was thinking of trying something different.

 

What made me decide is the first pick on the audi centres:

 

 

So was thinking of possibly:

 

 

Unfortunatly they wouldnt be the official polished/chrome versions and just stick on jobbies but whats peoples thoughts?

 

The other option could be to fill the audi badge holes and spray the caps a bright silver and then just put some BBS stickers in the middle!

Them badges look smart

And i will try to get that info and images tonight if my brain actually works!

I have ordered some vinyl stickers like the ones above, but struggling to get someone to chrome or polish the centre caps! Might try and get them powdercoated in a bright silver.

[Fear]

Paint stripped the black off the centre rings and still dont know what colour to get them done. Spoke to the guy up the road and he has got some chrome spray. Im gonna get the actual caps sprayed aswell as got some filler to fill the audi ring holes.

Stunning

[Fear]

Well after talking to Billy numerous times about it, i finally decided to pop over the bridge to pick his bumper up. Manage to get it fitted and then the car cleaned up:

 

 

Crap pic i know but it was cold! 

 

Still not sorted the centre caps out yet, will sort after winter i think.

Really nice octy there Fear. Love the wheels and the height. I like the black ones but don't have the time to keep em clean even my silver one looks dirty.

[Fear]

So think this will be the last update....

[RoadWarrior]

That's ridiculously clean. Shame it's going, but good luck with the sale.

[Guest]

Good luck with the sale. A very clean and tidy Mk1 there. 

[Fear]

Thanks guys!

Like ice said before, the paint ain't perfect stone chip, scratch wise but what is there really does shine up well!

Will be gutted to see it go!
