Jk* 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Looks good Polished rocker cover now Nope, VW made a plastic one for a reason in my eyes, not sure why (something to do with heat maybe) so no polished rocker cover. Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 After a very quiet Winter, hopefully the VR will start to take shape again. Being used as a daily through all weathers the poor thing is looking a bit worse for wear @ the moment. I have in mind a set of coilovers, new front indicators, some spraying and maybe some retrimming or chrome engine goodies. Its been hard trying to keep the wheels shinny over the winter though, but they dont look to bad TBH. Link to post Share on other sites

Jk* 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Basically for non-forced induction i would say they are the induction kit to go for, I know many people that have them. If you want forced air induction then the BMC CDA is the way forward. Hope this helps, and thanks for the comments. Link to post Share on other sites

Jk* 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just fitted my coilovers too, havent gone stupid low yet as im waiting to have the arches rolled. I will get some pics up when i take some! Oh, a massive thanks to ABSY for taking the near on 5 hours to get them almost spot on, along with my rear strut brace! Link to post Share on other sites
saichy 1 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 it took 5 hours to get them right? how much work is envolved in lowering on coilovers then? Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Well, it wasnt quite straight forward and anyone that knows Gary knows that he believes that if a jobs worth doing, its worth doing well. You have to remember we did fit a rear strut brace too. Once everything had been fitted, we had to test it for rubbing etc, then adjust according. The only thing thats needs doing now is the rear needs lowering a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites
