woahnowboys' measly 1.6 FSI on S Class wheels.

[jonnym]

Nice and simple! Love it!

Thanks, glad you like it! It's a good thing I didn't get a TDI to be honest, the only thing stopping me getting seriously carried away is the voice in my head saying "It's only a 1.6".

"Only"!!!

[woahnowboys]

Yeah, only haha!
Next year, once the MK1 is done, I think I'll probably sell this and get a GTI/TDI.
Only then will I let it loose on my wallet

Nice clean car you got there, my 1.6 has a similar front end but mine has the GT grilles instead. Though it isn't as shiny compared to yours!

very nice car pal. love the headlights, wish I had the time and skill to do mine

Haha thanks very much!
I'm not liking the GTI center grilles, I think they look a bit odd with the fogs. So I'm on the lookout for some R-Line fog grilles, and GT Sport centres now!
Have you got a thread for yours?

Thanks!
Do it haha! It doesn't take much skill at all, especially in a matte finish, but it takes a good few hours, and my hands were in pieces once I was done

[PatchySan]

I got a pic of my frontend which kinda looks like this at the moment...



R Lines would be awesome for the fogs, I completely understand about lowering since the 1.6's sit way too high but hopefully getting some H&R springs soon. Also thinking of getting the "clean" version of the R32 rear valance as my current one is scuffed to hell unfortunately by the previous owner.

[woahnowboys]

Looks awesome, I'm really liking those front ends ATM.
Yeah it looks, and feels much nicer lower IMO.
I'm thinking of going for a smooth R32 lower valance too!

Thanks man! It's been much more well recieved than I expected
I did like them, but the offset made them look too aggressive for my taste..
Yeah I hope I can find some soon, it was hard enough finding those. Might have to step up the budget

Looking good. Great progress. It's a shame about the alloys as they looked fab

Thanks guys
Yeah, the arch gap just looked stupid, especially on the back.
The guy who bought them off me has a Jetta that's going on air, so shouldn't be a problem for him, the lucky so-and-so!

Nice progress buddy, hope you find some nice replacements for the AMGs

Thanks man! Me too

Small update;
I went and picked up a parcel today.


Inside it was this.


To replace... This..


I don't know what went on here, when I bought the car, that was the only problem I found with it, and it's annoyed me ever since..
It's clearly been the focus of abuse for some strange reason, and there seems to be a lot of sand down there
I'll fit the new one on the weekend and clean it all out.

Should make a bit of a difference


I'm on the lookout for a grey folding cupholder that's missing in the above picture if anyone knows of a spare one?
I don't know why that center armrest has taken such a beating when the rest of the car is perfect condition

Dude if you're looking for new wheels there's a guy on here called w8 performance :) tap him up.
