    This weeks errr progress or more me tinkering I suppose I've decided to revert back to the original bumpers so I can fit the full Votex kit as the rear bumper doesn't fit US bumpers at all and the front doesn't fit properly as shown on the previous page, so I thought that I'd have a play with the plate recess on the front bumper to match my shortened rear one.@donnyboy kindly donated his old front bumper for me to cut bits out of, so I could try the following; IMG_6492.thumb.JPG.55400276713145559cc4d
    Trimmed about;IMG_6494.thumb.JPG.838b221809828e2cf4ea8
    Holes cut into bumper, no going back at this point;IMG_6495.thumb.JPG.d6ec6d339cd95dcc5fb93
    All hot stapled and plastic welded in;IMG_6498.thumb.JPG.55dae87558a7a749112dd
    A skim of filler and some primer; IMG_6502.thumb.JPG.71f639c537c550399b43f
    I then trimmed up the rear bumper to fit the Votex rear skirt;IMG_6506.thumb.JPG.a34a7194b820e27a3bcde
    Then for the first time since painting the car nearly 3 years ago I ordered some of the exact paint the car was painted in and put a coat over the 2 bumpers that I'll hopefully get fitted over the weekend if I get a spare hour or 2!

    So due to having a 1 year old further progress has been slow and I can't completely leave the car alone or say that's it's finished as that just doesn't happen with me! I did manage to turn this;IMG_4829.JPGInto this though; IMG_6118.JPGIMG_6223.JPG Hopefully my little one will now make it to a couple of shows with me next year in his own car!emoji16]
    So back to the main subject I managed to acquire a Votex body kit from Wayne as part of the deal with the Mystic blue VR6 I sold him a little while back, so I now plan to fit the full kit next year along with a set of Euro bumpers with a couple of little bits I want to do to them, here's a few pics; IMG_6354.JPG The kit will be finished in a textured black finish to give it a factoryish look IMG_6212.JPGHad to do a couple of repairs to the kit; IMG_6423.JPG
    Also managed to get these from Christian Wolf over in Germany IMG_6375.JPGSuper rare smoked ZKW long fogs . Also bought a Porsche Boxster front calliper set up to fit 312mm discs for a good price off of Ebay IMG_6176.JPG Decided to paint them black as I have quite a bit of red already! Then confuse people by letting them think I've fitted TT RS or S3 calipers to a Mk3 IMG_6193.JPG Also got the side skirts removed ready for the Votex ones to go on,IMG_6403.JPG
    Not liking the non side skirt look!
    And apart from pulling my interior apart to fit a DAB Alpine head unit and roof aerial that's about it for now!

    Hi mate, welcome to the club! Vw festival is brilliant, can't wait till next year! Shame about the S3 I really like those after owning a 1.8t many years ago, should be a good time to get into MK3 VR's as they seem to be creeping up in value, though it seems there are still some bargains out there! What sort of spec and money are you going to be looking at spending?
