funny i was gonnna say the only things on a red and laser blue is,.... they need to be colour coded to look a bit more "gti" like IMO.....(as he runs and hides) but i do lurve this colour.
theres a guy lcal to me(old boy) who has his laser blue coded with sunroof and stunning audi splits on it and it looks the dogs- he always flashes his lights as he drives me, cheeky old timer!!

Decided against air ride and have just ordered a set of H&R Ultra Lows, they should be perfect for what i want from the car.

Ill update with some pics when they land!

love the colour, I was looking for laser blue when I got mine, ended up with Shadow Blue which I think looks great.

Really i didn't know that its a strange one.

Not overly keen on all the black trim on the bumpers and skirts so im going to sort that out early spring hopefully!

I do, it just looks plain when colour coded or more like an R32.  I was told that the reason they stopped doing Laser Blue was because it is a bugger to paint match the rest of the car when bits required fixing / replacing.

Really, its already had a few touch ups but going to get them redone, one of those things you get what you pay for and if your not happy take it back until you are.

Thats also the precise reason ill never own a silver car again as it never quite lays the same and drives me nuts!

The rear bumper is going to have the reflectors deleted but still have the groove for them, slightly narrowed numberplate recess and then have the towing eye and exhaust cutouts smoothed.

Im then going to dismantle the rear backbox and remove the 2 outlets to take a single 3" diesel style tip so it wont really be seen.

Should look quite good, hopefully get some ed30/r32 skirts and colour code them and an ed30 splitter and it should look fairly good.

Its going to get out of hand this one :laugh:

Not a massively intresting update but still going to try and log every change i do!

start


Middle


end


Really happy with the R32 rear lights 99.9% of people will never notice but it will tie in with the whole feel of the car eventually

Also have one of these and a cheap donor bumper comming to de chopped up and donate some plastic to this pumper :happy2:
