Steve D's Shadow Blue DSG
« on: December 03, 2016, 11:29:09 pm »
Finally got the car after some sweating and worrying about the guy buying my ST off me but I'm loving it and so pleased I asked them to switch the wheels off a 2011 golf they had, looks way way better and it's made me question if it actually needs lowering.

Few surprises getting it home, firstly I didn't realise it had full heated seats which are lovely and I would have missed having had them on my ST and 645ci, and when I got it home i found out it's got parking sensors which are always helpful and I also put it into S which was interesting.

It's a lovely colour and my first blue car even though it's my favourite colour  :laugh:
Also it's nice to have the option of the sunroof.

The leather is in great condition and the whole car looks better in the flesh, it's got 70k on with fsh and had a cam belt at 51k and tensioning roller at the same time apparently (what's one of those?), there's a few scuffs on the wheels but they're on the edge so not too noticeable.
The headlights are a bit misty(can you polish this out) and I need a new pair of door handles or whatever you call them.

I'll get some better pics soon but I'll post a couple.

Steve.

No bud it's photoshopped by a friend , I'm trying to pick a colour, the one above I think needs to be a bit darker and this colour needs to be a bit duller I think



I want something like these colours,

Got some daylight pics lol, decided it doesn't need lowering for now so will concentrate on basics like the cam follower and dv and performance, picked this intake up today  :drool: and got the cherry red hazard switch too (what do I need to take off to fit it)?
I need a new dsg surround or possibly wrap it , what do you think?
Also my headlights need sorting, if you check the pics out will it all polish out or is some inside?
Do I need bolts to fit the intake or are they already there?

Also need some damn mats!

I'm going to go with this colour for my wheels, looks fantastic!
