Mandy's Rising Blue Golf R...

[JaseGti]

Looks mint

Would look great with a set of Ferrari wheels on

You detail it jay??

Yes he did with his friend nick. we think they have done a great job.

Aw, glad you think so :)

We're really glad you're happy with it! Took a lot of work but turned out really nicely
It's mainly washing and drying where marks are inflicted, so if you don't already then i'd invest in a quality deep pile wash mitt with your usual 2 bucket and grit guards, along with a lovely soft drying towel, such as an Uber XL. Only around £40 and it protects your investment of the paint correction

Just a case now of washing it carefully with the right products and methods and she'll stay looking great for years to come!

Great to meet both you and Mandy  

I will PM Mandy later on  RE the clay mitts as well

I will do a writeup for you and post the link.

Thanks Jase, not sure what the Ferrari wheels look like but we were thinking the Oz Ultraleggeras in anthracite might look good.

Thanks Dawain, what's up with your paint? Have you not been keeping it up to the standard that Nathan had it at lol?

[Mandy]

Got my OH to fit the front lip the other day, haven't got any decent pics yet...





Today we popped down to Monsterwraps to have the roof wrapped in gloss black:



Think thats the cosmetic side of things done for now. Still keeping an eye out for a set of Oz Ultraleggeras in graphite though, or I quite like the VW Motorsport wheels too.

[xjay1337]

Splitter along with the roof wrap really makes it look great!
 

[Mandy]

Haven't updated this in a while, I'll try and do a quick catch up...

We had the R dyno'd in standard form at Surrey Rolling Road day:



^^^
A bit more torque than listed on paper.
.........................................................................................

Also fitted a set of new Oz Ultraleggeras in 19x8.5, wrapped in Conti Sport Contact 5's.





^^^
The wheels are finished in matte black, not my first choice of colour but were much cheaper than graphite so they'll do for now.

Also fitted a set of McGard Ultra locking bolts.
..............................................................................................

A set of 2 way adjustable, front and rear, 24mm/26mm H&R ARB's went on:

^^^
Great handling mod!
............................................................................................

We ordered some DaveB brake goodies, opted for TTRS/RS3 calipers, AP 362mm discs, Pagid Blue RS4-2 pads.



Still awaiting the calipers to come back from Brake Caliper Refurbs...
...............................................................................................

Fitted a set of seat inserts:


...

As Revo currently have 20% off we thought we'd take advantage of that, took the R to JKM and had a Milltek downpipe put on and then flashed to Stage 2+, we are awaiting Revo to get back with the DSG map and that will be loaded on too.

Somewhere along the way we also had a LOBA HPFP fitted.

After driving around for a few days we decided the non- res TBE was too noisy, sounded like a tractor lol. As the car was booked in to have the seat base changed under warranty, VW kindly swapped our resonated section back for us...



^^^
How many men does it take to change an exhaust lol?!

[Gti_Mad]

your R is defo progressing faster than mine 

 

[rich83]

Those discs look very familiar.

...............................................................................................

The discs I wish I could of afforded The owner of Brake Caliper Refurbs seems a very busy man, popped down there the other day to drop some brakes off and he had a big box full of calipers in his unit and a rangey all taped up getting detailed with a very nice brown caddy that looked to be on air behind it.

[Hurdy]

Excellent upgrades Mandy. Should have some decent oomph now. 

[Little_Dave]

Wheels are looking great Mandy  was wondering if you'd fit them yet 

Good choice on brakes too will be immense stopping power

Speaking of power what do you reckon your making now?
