Morgens ED30 No. 1871 - New suspension & audio!

[th3_f15t]

I'm sure there will be enough people on here to help out with parts and what not. Considered going up to OE 345mm front brakes, seeing asyou need to replace discs and pads may as well upgrade? Bigger brakes may come in handy next time, without trying to sound funny. The amount of times my 345mm on my Golf GTI saved my bacon more than paid off the cost of them.

There's currently an R32 rear bumper or two for sale on this forum, I prefer the central twin exit exhausts personally so again I'd opt for that while you're replacing lights and stuff.

I know how you felt, when I ripped my interior apart in my Golf GTI it took months to sort everything out and even then I didn't get all the work done. It's hard to keep going when the odds are stacked against you but when you get the result you were after, it's totally worth it, trust me.

Youv had some really bad luck! Hope you get everything back together cause you know you'll be head over heals again when she's fixed up, clean and sparkling 

Thank you! I sure will be, she really is a beauty and needs to get back to her former glory!

That's somewhat of an horror story...

Hope everything can be sorted soon so you can love and drive your Eddie again.

I can sell you a couple of rear parking sensors that I removed from my Golfs when I installed OPS sensors, if you want. I've already sold a couple to Northern Ireland.

I'll consider the parking sensor offer! I think I'm leaving that until last because the mechanical repairs and repairs to the other car come first. It's not going through insurance so any spare cash I had is now gone :(

Terrible luck, sorry to hear that 

I had a similar incident with my drivers window being open, and how my drive is sloped down and cambered 80% of the water that goes on the roof rolls down the drivers window. It was half open and was pisssing with rain, luckily only 5-10 minutes after it started raining my step dad came home (earlier than usual) and pointed it out so there was minimal damage.

Hope you get her sorted and fall back in love again soon 

Very lucky! I've no idea how there's no lasting damage but she's all good. Thank god!!

Unfortunately I can't afford to buy anything other than the discs and pads at present, I'm rooked! calipers, carriers etc isn't an option 

I am looking at the primered R32 rear end that's on here at the moment though... Very very tempted to take out a loan and buy car parts. Bad idea! 

[Morgen]

Yay for car parts.. Shame it's for a corsa

Fitted my new light last night too, yay for legality



Oh and I hit this milestone a few days ago.. She's getting old!

[Morgen]

More bumpers...

I did a buy!

Hit another pothole tonight, swear I'm attracted to them. Was driving 23 miles to drop my Mum off at her night out but had to come off the slip road on the motorway about five minutes into the journey due to a horrendous screeching noise coming from the drivers front wheel... Tried to get the car recovered because I didn't know how to fix it, but Adam phoned & told me to press down hard on the brake pedal while it was in neutral a few times before trying to drive it and trying to determine what the noise was exactly.. Pressed the brakes with both feet a few times, set off and the squeal was gone! Sticky caliper?

Just my luck eh

My Mum's new car

Valentines day was productive. I bought tools last week so the bumper came off to see if it could be aligned any better..




Also found out why my sensors are goosed!


So, glued the sensor together with a hot glue gun & drilled a screw through the bumper to keep the diffuser attached as the brackets are broken.. Mega cowboy'd but it's made a difference and my sensors are now functioning as normal.. Job well done if you ask me!

Before & after



Next up, tinted my fog lights purple just because..



Then put my sticker on, yay for all of the purple


Finally, had her first wash in over three months! Looks lovely again

Would go for xenons next, IMO xenons just complete the front end of any GTI.

Did you get the fog light tint crease free? Drove me mad and ended up not putting any on. Did get a cheap ebay one though so probably wouldnt have stayed long anyway

Exhaust is next unfortunately! The exterior of mines isn't up to much at present so may as well focus on fast  .. But next on the list after an exhaust and remap is a head unit or xenons. I'll see how I feel

Mines was cheap and from ebay too! £2.50 or so from China.. It's relatively crease free. Not entirely though! I stood with the heat gun while the other half smoothed out the creases, so it's him I owe that to

Looking good, love that colour, window tints? milltek exhaust next?

Thank you!

I'm not overly fussed by tints.. If it was candy white or red I probably would be but I reckon steel grey looks fine without :)

Milltek or BCS! It totally depends what's on offer at the time as it'll have to be an R32 style exhaust to fit the gti 

[S800BRN]

Do like a steel grey Eddie!
