wow.
Perfect car there mate. Simple perfect mods, pulled of really well.
Question; where did you get your springs and B5 spring cups from?
Try Unicorn....good reviews on his work for custom mapping
Nice car but what did you clean your exhaust tips with metal polish or wire wool ?
Great build thread in progress that your posting, car looks fantastic.
How did you modify your exhaust tips please?
Cheers

I just used autosol metal polish and a Scouring pad.
I have been looking for months at different ways of getting the chrome on the fog light rings! I would love the link please. Genius!!
I just used autosol metal polish and a Scouring pad.
any rub with the 9.5J alloys? im looking for some bbs for mine but not sure if 9.5 are going to be too wide, they look perfect on yours.
PS: any updates on the remap.
Just been out and bought Autosol Metal Polish - Is this all you used along with a scouring pad? I've been going at it for upwards of 45 minutes and not seeing a great difference yet. Is perseverance the key here?
I did what you suggested, had to go to HELLfords to get the megs wheel cleaner, and I'm fairly happy with the results. I did struggle with just the scouring pad so I used a pointed wheel cleaner to get the hard to reach places. Didn't come up quite as well as yours did but I'm happy nonetheless. There are some marks that I couldn't seem to shift though, not sure if it was oxidisation or not, any suggestions? May end up replacing them in the future.
What exhaust tips have you got? diesel or the petrol pipes? I changed mine in the end just bought 2x 3" slash cut tips. Just got the angle grinder out and cut them off. Looking at getting 3.5" tips next tho but cant seem to find much.
You'll have to forgive my lack of mechanical knowledge haha! It's a diesel, and they're straight cut, and 2.5" I think? Just slightly annoys me that I've cleaned them up and they have marks/stains around the outside, don't get me wrong it's a massive improvement from what they looked like before because they clearly hadn't been cleaned before I'd bought it! Would you even get oxidisation on exhaust tips? I have it on my trim around my windows but I've read there's not a lot that can be done to fix that, is it the same case for exhaust tips? Sorry for all the questions you just seem to know your stuff!!
Haha I wish i knew my stuff but most of the knowledge I gained was searching on here, get other peoples idea's experience and knowledge. From what i know there isn't anything you can do with the window trims, Either get them sprayed or the cheaper option is to wrap them or use plastic dip from what I've read.
I'm not sure about the oxidization as i didn't get that problem but im sure there made from stainless steel. When you say straight cut have you got the straight tips or the facing down tips? is your diesel the 140 or 170?
Follow this thread mate that's what i done. It runs alot smoother from cold now.Lovely car mate so subtle
Looks awesome on the 3sdms
Mite have to do the same as you and clean my egr valve it a hard job to do?
