My MkV Jetta , A more OEM Approach
« on: September 09, 2011, 10:25:50 pm »
Please dont think im nuts and im talking to myself ...

Heres my thread from my local forum

Hi Guys

Thought id do a single thread for my jetta build , Only had the car about a month now . Heres my progress

Here is how i brought it









Interior quiet boring !



Paintwork was awful as it was an ex-company car, Nothing a good mop couldnt sort out !



I then got hold a neglected set of these , sanded and fillered them then took them to city powdercoaters (birmingham) only £20 per wheels ! cant reccomend them enough !



Got the tyres Fitted





Also picked these up the same day !



Went about fitting them with my mate







Then we test fitted a wheels and dropped the car with fingers crossed !





Went pretty low ...



I also lamin-x the front fogs while it was up at eye level , Very happy with the results





This is how the car was looking

I then did a few more little mods like de-Plate the front (currently waiting for grille without holes lol , Carbon wrapped the tatty pillars and carbon wrapped the steering wheel inlays









Well thats it so far !

Ill keep you updated

Took a few pics today after a good polish , enjoy !









Right then people been a while since ive updated this ! anyway as im sure your aware i had a run in with a p reg astra a few weeks back and smashed the front end of the jetta up :( Anyway i see it as an excuse to get some custom modding done .

Having a new bonnet , bumper , grille , headlights , front panel , etc etc

Im having the badgeless grille and having the proper bonnet notch fillered and painted

filling out the rub strips on the new bumper for a smooth look

also ordered these lights which came today



and heres the grille im going for ...



any ideas are welcome and i will keep you posted

Im proper gutted about the car to be honest , everytime i seem to get a bit of cash it dissapears into something that didnt need money spending on it

anyway ! got the lights in and the new red bumper :) .....

Enjoy

So then guys ! the car has come out of the body shop today after my bump :D

absolutely chuffed with the look and even more pleased with the guy that did it all , if anyone wants anything doing ask me for his details in the midlands area , he is top and very cheap !

had new wing , headlights bonnet (with notch shaved off) and new bumper
heres the car ...











hope you like ?

Right then guys gave the car a big polish and wax today ....




then took some better pics as yesterday was rushed !
and the results which i was chuffed with :) hard work pays off lol











enjoy :)

Crikey! I didn't think I was going to like this but everything works really well together and the lowered stance makes a huge difference. Proppa limo!  :happy2:

Be careful not to over do it - It's very subtle. Mods like brakes and ARB's would be a good idea now <-- Definitely if you remap.

I've got those exact same lights!

seeing as you brought them recently, could you tell me what the method of securing the bulb to the headlight is? is it still that gay twisty mechanism or is it a springy clip? (HID kits drop in very very well into those projectors!)

nice tidy motor fella!

Love jetta'sand yours looks great :happy2:

What specs are your wheels? If you don't mind?

Keep it up, very interested in seeing how this is turning out.
I know what you mean about spending money on it if you don't need too.
