Reflex Silver Jetta project
« on: May 02, 2014, 06:24:23 pm »
So this is my first ever VW. Third car now, after having two clios i thought id upgrade!
Only had the car a week or so but loving it so far, completely different to anything ive driven before.

Not got many photos but as i progress ill try keep this updated :)

Already ordered coilovers so they should be here in the next week or so!!



If anyone has any good hints/tips/advice id love to hear it!

Thanks for looking :)

Good colour choice mate Reflex silver always looks well, once you've fitted coilovers what wheels you thinking about going for? Should buy xenons or lookalikes to complete the front end IMO. :happy2:

First thing i did was get the bottom of the bumpers colour coded. Makes a massive difference. Also i put gti shocks and anti roll bars to tighten up the handling.

Never thought about the colour coding mate, might look into it. Wanna get wheels and stuff sorted as a priority. Ordered Coilovers and droplinks so hopefully thatll sort the handling aspect!
