ScottHmk4 - My TT 225

[ScottHmk4]

Most of you will know me, been on here since my first car so thought i may aswell start a readers ride thread for the TT. Got it like 3 months ago now maybe? anyways....

so heres my old cars, first car was a little ibiza 1.2 started life out standard, and soon became my little beast.

Then my Fabia vRS

And now my TT 225

So far I've changed all bulbs i can to led. Gave it a quick once over with the machine polisher, my brother replaced a wheel bearing, cleaned up the engine bay and my brother fitted my alpine head unit. Im booked in to have a custom cat back done on saturday. Also fixed a really annoying squeak I had when turning right, after a bit of trial and testing from trying to fix it before i took off the brake disc and spray greased up the wheel bearing and touch wood its been gone since. only squeaked when i would turn right, was soo annoying. I've also re-painted the callipers. Anyways as of future plans, who know (again like the Fabia) this is another car I'm not "modding" and look how the fabia turned out. I would like a v6 front bumper or something a bit more mean. I'm sure in time i will get things underway.

So cat back was done on Saturday 2nd June, soo pleased sounds awesome! Managed to get hold of a brand new votex front lip so just awaiting a call back this week from the Audi dealer that has it to ensure its not damaged from storage

I have a set of 25mm eibach lowering springs, hopefully being fitted tonight (now fitted) . I souced a votex front from an audi dealer which has now been painted and fitted (makes a big difference imo).....still needs bonding to be a neat flush finish. managed to source a votex rear skirt from another dealer which should be in my possesion tuesday. Ordered up 6000K bulbs, I will be on the hunt for the votex skirts and spoiler to complete the votex kit. Also think i know what wheels i may go for.....I know PICSSS. I will try get some over the weekend and maybe a video of my exhaust.... oh got my private plate on yesterday too real please with it so far so hopefully will be even better with whats coming.

wheels should be getting refurbed in the next couple of weeks hopefully. votex rear arrived and votex spoiler orders....having issues finding the side skirts

(now going in on monday)

 

[ScottHmk4]

thanks guys....having issues with my usual powdercoating company, they wont do me a 1 day turnaround service on a saturday which isnt ideal as i work mon-fri so need to try come up with a solution to get them in.....they are the biggest let down of the car atm, corroded, flaking laquer, kerb marks, just a mess in general. not getting silver either i dont think. going for titanium (which is kind of like anthracite but maybe not as dark) had it for previous wheels before, this is my old octavia spiders with it, opinions? or just keep to silver on silver?

 

[ScottHmk4]

got a load of photos needing uploaded i took of my and my mates TTs , booked the wheels in on monday for painting. Votex rear and spoiler are both away being painted.
