Re: ED30 and a few pictures of my other cars (Updated with coilovers)

I sold the MR2 last Friday night as I have enjoyed driving the ED30 so much the MR2 rarely got driven so I thought the sale would help fund a few changes to the ED30.
 
Purchased a set of FK Highsport Coilovers.  They could go a lot lower but on the roads I live on it isn't really possible and its my daily driver. Also want to keep the car quite suble and OEM looking with a slight nose down stance.  Only other change so far is a set of pressed metal plates keeping the standard font.
 
Last few pics include my wife's Jetta. Still really stuck for ideas for it. Have fitted the lip spoiler so far and hopefully coilovers next so I will see what the current wheels look like when the car is dropped.

Thanks  :happy2:

It has really helped the look of the pescara's too as I had thought about changing them.

The guy who fitted them had them wound down another 10mm but I got him to put them back up again.

Looks really mean now!  :happy2:

I think I've said before but what about a GT Grille on the front of the Jetta to break up the silver? Then some Monza's with black inserts!  :happy2:

Would the GT grille be hard to do on the Jetta or is it a direct replacement?

Looking at the wifes it would be a straight swap!  :happy2:

I will have to ring my local VW and get a price and probably a shock or are there any online retailers that are a bit more reasonable?

I'm from N Ireland but picked the car up from Stoke-on-Trent.  It was an interesting drive to the Stranraer in snowy conditions  :scared:

Ah ok no where near me then..

Welcome to the forum anyways!

I was thinking the same mate so you're not going mad!  Anyway shouldn't you be in France?! ;)

Put an ad in the 'Wanted' section as a few of the GT lads have changed to GTI fronts!  :happy2:

Good idea  :happy2:  Exactly what sections gets replaced?

Small update

The FK's and I just couldn't see eye to eye so I replaced them H&R sport springs which very nearly give me the drop I want but the ride is a lot better for the roads I live on (out in the sticks!)

Also fitted a Milltek non res catback exhaust along with an ITG panel filter and changed the front VW badge to matt black. 

Still considering vinyl wrapping the front lip on the spoiler along with the wing mirrors and rear valance in matt black but I'm not sure.

Future plans are a new stereo (probably the RNS510) and a Milltek downpipe and then potential a map (but only when I have the money sitting ready for a sachs clutch).

Some new pics after a few layer of dodojuice!
