Today went well.

Collected these from work..







Then decided to spruce up my engine bay a bit.

From this..



Also decided to spray up my wing as the paint had peeled quite badly and it had marks left from the arch trims..





Inlet manifold and coolant bottle now black..









At this point I was nearly done, unfortunately it decided to pour it down with rain..





Done.

Ready for Ultimate Dubs 2010..

[olimvw]

Clearance before..



How the other arch is after last night..









Decided i needed more clearance so took slightly more drastic measures.

[olimvw]

Change of plans as there isn't enough time to take my front wings off and do what i wanted before UD so I got cracking after work..

Aim is to get as low as possible basically Also needed to spray the other 2 wheels so got one done tonight.









Took the arch liner out, and rolled lip back completely. Got loads of room to go lower now..

Other side will be done tomorrow night. Cambering the fronts as well and get it tracked.

[olimvw]

-4 Degrees Camber..

[olimvw]

Got some more done today.. Sprayed up a few patches of rust and painted a wheel. The rest will be done before UD!

So on Tuesday night I borrowed a van from work and drove to Northampton to collect some new bits

which lead to this..







Some better pics from tonight, also note the amber side repeaters that arrived today..





My de cat turned up yesterday, and my new bolts for it and the rear axle/brake calliper carrier.

[olimvw]

Just been outside for a bit and got the back down a bit, looks 10x better!

Before..



After..



And why I cant go lower untill I've got some camber..

[olimvw]

Back boxes are for pussys.. 8)

[olimvw]

Fitted new wheels of some of you may recognise off a certain lowish Touran..

I had a stainless exhaust fitted, looks fairly OEM but sounds nice and raspy.

Also decided to remove the spoiler, which I've decided I prefer.

Few photo's..







And yes I know it needs lowering!

[olimvw]

Fitted coilovers..

[olimvw]

Today i did something..

- Removed front plate
- Removed badges all round
- Fit VR6 splitter (Had to plastic weld it on.)

[olimvw]

Bought a genuine mat set and gear knob today from VW.
Also invested in a Sony CDX-GT230 headunit.







Took off the arch trims on ones side to find a small amount of rust.. So they are staying on and will try to get a half decent stance with them on. Oh i also removed the rear wiper and made some new plates that ain't on yet..
