#31: Lukesaunders91 GTI 180 Project (UPDATE: 15/03/12) Video PG 3 Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 12:48 pm ---- February Update:
Got my hands on some Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 in white to be used as track/spare alloys, However after fitting them I fell in love and have since been left on the car
However the tyres on them were way past the legal limit, so next up was 4 new tyres after fitting Toyo Proxes T1R'S to my other wheels (vortex's) I was impressed with them so decided to go with the same on these wheels
Next up was giving the inside of the alloys a good clean as they were pretty dirty.
Before & After
Finished
Last of all I got myself a Cupra R splitter, So wasted no time fitting it
Comments welcome

Looks nice mate, just unsure of the mix match theme (Smoked & clean *white wheels*)

Cheers mate
Hmm yeah I know what you mean, Im changing my side indicators back to clear, but I think I'm going to leave the fogs and headlights as they are, Then white powder-coated petrol cap and white front badge.
Hopefully that will help the wheels blend in abit more.

I brought mine from Dubmeister I had no problem with them they send the plates out next day delivery.

Cheers

However they will take abit of forcing on and some washing up liquid.

It feels better the throttle seems more responsive, and the sound after 4k rpm is awesome!
#43: Re: Lukesaunders91's GTI 180 Project (UPDATE: 15/03/12) Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 12:23 pm ---- Another little update:
Was bored over the weekend so decided to wrap my interior map light surround in carbon wrap
know what you mean about the sound after 4k with the typhoon and janspeed its insane isnt it

Firstly I got bored of the boring and pretty rubbish standard orange bulbs, So decided to fit my HID's back in. :), I took them out as it was messing with my ECU before, but now hopefully I've positioned the ballast out the way so it wont interfere
50/50
Finished result
Secondly I replaced my head unit with an alpine one looks alot smarter than my old one IMO
In the next few weeks Ill hopefully be replacing my front brakes with the 406 Brembo's also fitting a decat pipe so watch this space
