Reflex silver TDI - Darkside remap

[valle]

Great work. But really , how come that can't go lower? it's on air ride , rims should be under 

[stuart-88]

It can go lower :-) the rears have another 10psi or so left in them in that last pic. But I could do with shorter shocks tbh. My rear wheels will never go under the arch though because of my offset. Any lower and the freshly painted arch will bang on the lip of the wheel.

The fronts have 20psi left in them in the last pic, the tyres disappear and sit up in the arch, I need to get a proper picture done, all my pictures are of it parked up and spur of the moment!

Been a while since I've updated this, mainly because I'm either busy woking on it, or ...family life.

Air ride removed, new wheels, new coilovers, roof racks, interior trim painted, new fog lights to name a few things! I'll let a couple of pictures do some talking it's easier :-)

Fair bit of hard work done here dude. Looks great so far!

[stuart-88]

Sure is mate worth every second though, and pretty satisfying as I'm sure you know all too well 

[George10]

Yeah it definitely is mate. You got any more plans?

[stuart-88]

Not really tbh. I have an armrest on its way to me from a guy on here, Need some 10mm spacers on the rear. I'm sure other things will pop up though over time! Just want to try actually enjoy it now! I've lost interest a bit since helping a mate build a drag XR2, my enthusiasm has shifted from mine on to that!

Has your mate got the Caddy now then?

[George10]

Theres always something to do 

Oh really? That sounds pretty decent. Not quite a golf though 

He gets it next week. We've got some serious work to get started on that. Gonna look great when it's done though.

[stuart-88]

Definitely not a golf haha, but a monster! Get a build thread

The car looks awesome, I just had some BBS alloys identical to those put on my car a fortnight ago haha

When you changed the fascia to the silver one did you just respray the old one or buy a new pre-painted one.  If you sprayed the same one where did you get the paint, I was looking to do the same thing to mine, I just want to make sure the colour match is spot on.

Thanks, I've had a few sets of wheels now but haven't been as happy with any of them as I have with these! I had the fascia and trim panels sent off to be sprayed by a friend, so the paint would have been mixed up (reflex silver as they're body coloured) by a paint suppliers. To buy a can of paint from a paint shop is usually about £10-£15 mark though which should be plenty!

Thank you mate, appreciated
