Golf .:R14 **New Wheels**

[coliniv]

Looking good!

One thing i'd consider doing is painting the 2 front grille slats black...make it look even more mean! Also maybe get the exhaust tips changed for bigger ones....they look a bit like pea shooters atm! lol

yeah I was considering a black badgeless grill before. Need a new grill anyway so probably just do the black idea. Pipes have been on the card aswell for a while. going for 4" pipes

Small update on the wheels, RS4 wheels should hopefully be going on toward the end of this week or next weekend. Took a wee run today to RMS exhausts in Prestwick to get some bigger tips for the exhaust. Due to problems regarding what Meerkat Exhausts have done and me only finding out after what RMS told me Some slight problems were had getting the pipes centred at each side. This pic below is the exhausts after they were done but Before I put it on a ramp at work and now straightened them out a bit more

Before: 3" pea shooters

Now 4" bigger shooters lol

Well the new wheels are on now. pictures are pretty rubbish but gives a good idea of how its standing (much better). Also fitted a black badgless grill to the front to try make it stand out a bit more. Will try go out and get better pictures later today

[Becks]

Yep was me Irvine and Kilmarnock bound

 

[coliniv]

Went to E.K then back to kilmarnock/Irvine aswell. Remembered seeing the leon as I thought to myself, thats nice but was it an FR or Cupra lol. Now realise its a cupra though

some slightly better pics below to show the grill and wheels. Grill, still not sure about yet in black. want to darken the inside of the headlamps but the bumper wont be coming off because it was so difficult to put on. Thoughts and comments all welcome as ever, good or bad.

 

[Lodgey180]

them wheels are a lot better looks aces

 

[Clone]

Wheels are great mate! love the way the car is sitting now. Get some sunny pics today

 

[coliniv]

thanks for the comments, much appreciated. The grill is now growing on me.

Painted the Grill gloss black yesterday and straightened the top slat a bit better. looks much better than it was.

Tomorrows plan is to get the headlights out the car, seperate the glass and paint the inserts black to finish the front end off.
