What mods/work have you got planned?

Featured Replies

Seems a while since I've seen one of these threads and as I've been thinking about stuff I need to get done on the car it seemed a good opportunity to start a thread. Mine are listed below:

Imminent

Wire up heated seats

Install autodimming rear view mirror

Fit rear bumper bar

For the coming months

Jabba rear ARB

Uprated Haldex Controller

Long term list

Boost hoses

Leather re-trim for door cards and gear gaitor

Short shift

Xenon headlights

Change of dash trim

So, what's everyone else got planned?

Tell us then!

For the beetle WRX:

Design and build a space frame rear end

Fit coil overs in the back

Fit the cage

Fit some brakes

Sort out the electrics

Full respray

Sort the interior

Get the car passed as road legal

Start tweaking the performance - no idea what will be getting done to it yet

Start making people look silly when they try and keep up :D

Mine's more about getting the car working right now - means sorting out remote central locking and brakes.

I have no other mods planned, although like all my mods I rarely plan them - I just do them as when I get the temptation.... :) Rear ARB sounds nice at the moment.
