My VR6

[Big Ian 1]

got my VR 2 wks ago

it came in near total standard form, apart from 17" DOTZ alloy's, Kamei grill & Quad headlight's

ive since fitted a standard grill, blacked out the VW badge and ive moved the VR6 badge for now as it hold's a slack spar tight on the grill :-)

some pic's of it all polished and caliper's cleaned up

my car is a 1997, 94K mile's, 3 past keeper's and in near mint condition (one blister under the N/S rear light) also has all the usual extra's inc air-con & elec s/roof which folk keep telling me is quite rare?

FUTURE MODS

better/bigger front brake's

de-cat & exhaust system

K,N panel filter or Induction kit (un sure at the moment)

very moody!! i like!

[Big Ian 1]

very moody!! i like!

thank's, ive had quite a response from folk since i had the wheels coated .. all good

[Rustyman 0]

The wheels totally work for it... love them.

Are you going for the full murdered look black window tints too ??

Well done fella...

[Big Ian 1]

thank's Rusty i'm not tinting the windows

i think it look's quite clean & fresh as it is, once my coilovers come i can then hopefully get the stance to match the look

ive also started to blacken the engine bay

i need to hide the ballasts for the HID lights

[Big Ian 1]

fitted new coilovers yesterday and spent most of today setting them up

well after removing the wheels a few times today to adjust height & then the camber i think ive got it where i want it??

this is what happens when you don't notice all the features of the new suspension

passanger side: bottom sitting out

drivers side: top sitting out :s

so i stripped the wheels of and then found the new suspension has adjustable camber.. all sorted now

[thegoth 5]

I like it. Well I would ;-)

All rims look good coated black.

euro car parts do nice smoked indicator repeaters as well

and what coilovers did you go for in the end?

Cheers Hixy

i put my car's together on a limited budget so i ended going for the "JOM" blueline coilover's: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-VR6-Coilover-lowering-springs-shock-kit-741000_W0QQitemZ300380309242QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item45f00fc6fa

and the filter is just a £10 ebay universal item, ive used the same style on a few of my car's and it's worked every bit as good as the expensive one's ive used in the past & it's wash/cleanable and as it's a dual cone i always add an extra cold feed hose right in to the centre cone

same as this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SILVER-CHROME-INDUCTION-KIT-AIR-FILTER-FIT-99-CARS-P93_W0QQitemZ330340141779QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4ce9ce8ad3

Well finally got round to fitting the new wheels and also my bra so here how it looks thesedays. Back in the bodyshop again at the end of the month to get a few other bits and pieces done.

Need to get my act together and get shot of my anniversary this summer too. Here a pic of it.

Ian was it a hard job fitting the suspension mate did you change any other parts at the same time?
