ive since fitted a standard grill, blacked out the VW badge and ive moved the VR6 badge for now as it hold's a slack spar tight on the grill :-)

some pic's of it all polished and caliper's cleaned up

thank's Rusty ;) i'm not tinting the windows

i think it look's quite clean & fresh as it is, once my coilovers come i can then hopefully get the stance to match the look

ive also started to blacken the engine bay

fitted new coilovers yesterday and spent most of today setting them up

well after removing the wheels a few times today to adjust height & then the camber i think ive got it where i want it??

this is what happens when you don't notice all the features of the new suspension

passanger side: bottom sitting out

100_1408.jpg

drivers side: top sitting out :s

100_1407.jpg

so i stripped the wheels of and then found the new suspension has adjustable camber.. all sorted now

i put my car's together on a limited budget so i ended going for the "JOM" blueline coilover's: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-VR6-Coilover-lowering-springs-shock-kit-741000_W0QQitemZ300380309242QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item45f00fc6fa

and the filter is just a £10 ebay universal item, ive used the same style on a few of my car's and it's worked every bit as good as the expensive one's ive used in the past & it's wash/cleanable and as it's a dual cone i always add an extra cold feed hose right in to the centre cone

same as this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SILVER-CHROME-INDUCTION-KIT-AIR-FILTER-FIT-99-CARS-P93_W0QQitemZ330340141779QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4ce9ce8ad3
