[DannyE32]

the pics are not making any justice to the polished lip. take some better pics and lower the wagon ASAP!

[Lupton_20vt]

I Phones for you! I'll get some out in the daylight later today. Lows are being sorted but not fitted till after winter now.

So the idea of air ride is out, mainly cos I cant afford it and then afford to live being a student and all. But then again im not one for this whole rear wheel jacked up in the rear arch look.

So to bring this up to date, tyres should eventually be going on this week after a few hectic weeks with working and college work and ordered up some other bits consisiting of a polo stubby ariel, HIDS, new foglights and some other stuff.

Along with these:

FK Konigsports.

Should look something like this:


Case of build a pile of parts up then fit in the spring. It's too cold to mess about on the car right now and its getting colder

Cheers for looking,

Chris

Hardly ebay coilovers really are they? The air set up I wanted was in the region of £2800+ fittings etc. I did look at koni's but they dont go low enough for what I want, and tbh I would rather have the extra cash to pay towards a tour of europe next spring

Cheers anyway dude

Felt like christmas this monring when this all turned up. Included my correct size tyres, foglights, tax and wind deflectors









Quick test fit, think they look spot on, will look even better once the tints are on.




Just waiting on my laminx, k and n filter and my rear brakes should be here tomorrow

[Lupton_20vt]

All bolted up now and treated with autosol, the rears are painted with OEM silver to keep it factory

[MattCarter]

[Lupton_20vt]

Looks amazing I love that interior! Is that an Oem option?

Yeah standard sport trim, however i'm on the lookout for an rs6 interior for it, or some cs's for the front and i'll have the rest trimmed to match

give er some moaaar low please!

are the fenders rolled?

It's going to see a small amount it's all about the drivability and dickhead lows isnt somehting this build is about.

Yeah the fenders saw the arch roller a couple of weeks back.

Mean while yesterday saw me do this:


So i'd finally got fed up with not having an i pod connection in the car so I got round to ordering a unit from xcarlink with the additional bluetooth module. I ordered it yesterday at 2pm and it was with me this morning, really nice bit of kit very simple to install that also charges the phone and it still allowed me to retain the changer function too, a couple of things that many other systems dont. It also allows you to play your music via the bluetooth which is pretty impressive.

So out came the glovebox and half the center console to remove the stevie wonder fitted nokia handsfree kit that was in there.... I remember the car going off to have it done "professionally" a few years back, needless to say nothing was professional about it, wires installed by being twiddled together and semi covered with electrical tape so two hours later it was all removed and I had redone the loom tape.

It lets you control the iphone/pod on the headunit like so:



So I ran the cable down under the center to just behind the gear stick, any 4b owner will know of the useless pocket/tray thats there. So I removed it and set about fitting my cradle in there so I could plug the phone straight in when I got in the car:


Bit of cutting later:



Rough idea of whats going on:



The finished article:



I also got hold of some 16mm rear spacers to make the rear a bit more respectable:


Other than that its booked into the body shop mid april to have the rear bumper sprayed thanks to a white van deciding he didnt like my freshly painted bumpers and off for a remap too after a big service consisting of clutch, timing belt and water pump.

Anyway thanks for looking.
