Hi,
I've had my Up since April and thought I'd throw a few pictures up to show my progress with changes to the beast..
I've owned around 20 Volkswagens in the past 7years and none have been left standard. Some of you might have seen my car already at VW shows this summer?

In the compound -

Collection day -

Tinted and lowered 35mm -

New 17" alloys fitted -

Roof wrapped -

Rear bumper section wrapped and de-badged and removed rear wiper -

more to follow...

 

[nEiL!]

Lowered some more

Colour coded the mirrors -

Looks good!

Mini Cooper s s-spokes?? Did you have to do anything special to make them fit?? I have a set of 15" mini alloys with new winter tyres that I was going to sell, may keep them if they fit.

Cheers!
Yea they're Mini wheels and had to make the centre bore bigger to get them to fit

 

[Supermegamonkee]

Thanks for that, saves me trying to get them to fit on the drive. Oh well will stick them on ebay.

Cheers

**** I thought that was to good to be true ! That would have made it a lot easier to get some used wheels

 

[nEiL!]

Spaced the rear wheels to sit flush..
Before -

After -

Fitted my garage door remote to the door panel

Pictures are working fine for me.

Car looks fantastic. Really nice touch with the garage remote.

Very cool indeed...

What type and brand of spacers did you use and how wide are they? I need some too

 

[stiffler94dub]

Wat did you use to lower the car? Jus springs or coilovers?

 

[9373innes]

Red Seat mii Owner, Do the springs you got fit the MII also how did you re bore the wheels to make them fit. i have 17's but centre bore is 1mm like your mini alloys?

Cheers

Chris

Thanks

The spacers are some I had lying around that is used to have on my mini can't remember the brand tbh.

The fronts are H&R springs at the minute and the rears are polo coilover springs, If you want to get your car lower I'd hang about and wait for coilovers as the ride is very harsh. Actually considering returning the car to standard for the winter months and fitting some suspension when the right set up comes out...

I used a belt sander on the wheels.

Got round to having my sub fitted, used the spare wheel well to retain boot space(I've done this on all my cars) rather than throw a box in the boot! Fitted and built by my mate Lee at DBAudio.

The coilovers are available now, kw varient 1's u can purchase them from their website they cos £824 when i rang a couple weeks ago

 

[9373innes]

Bit expensive for such a little car, think I'l stick with the springs just now, till other cheaper ones come out

 

[stiffler94dub]

I no what you mean
