Ive had her for about a year and a half now and have been slowly but surely transforming her!
i fell in love with it a long time ago when i seen it in my mates barn and literally said "what is it?"
She was a bit of a mess to say the least! And thats what made me want to sort her out!
This is how she was before i bought her...
(Yeah i know i fell in love with THAT!) :blink: haha
So i started my cleaning and she didnt turn out too bad!
But my god was she high.. so i got her slammed on some coilovers
That was a bit extreme and driving it was a nightmare.. so the helper springs were put back in.
I did a few bits and bobs such as..
*De wipered
*White Front & Rear Badges
*Audi R8 oil cap
*Tinted Headlights
*De tango'd indicators
As below..
Following this.. as i was saving for wheels..
I decided i needed sort her interior out.. i retrimmed the doorcards/rooflining/rear pillars in black suede.. and rubbed down and sprayed the plastic door parts. I also bought GTI black door cards!
Before:
After:
Stiff coilovers haha..
My future plan was banded steelies so i painted my originals for colour ideas!!
Bra..
Also some rear Cambridge lights
THEN.. i picked up my steelies.. ready for the banding project!!! Found these for £50 from Spring Fest.
Send them to be banded down in london.. and had 2" added to make all four 8J.
Sandblasted..
Painted..
Got some rubber on them!! (Falken 195/45/R14)
And popped them on!
Hope you like her..
