Ok , new wheels wnet on , aerospeed 18 x 8's, new exhaust , and projektzwo bodykit. Needs a touch more colour coding still , but you guys get the idea! Tell me what you think! Future plans = smoothing the door handles and rub strips , coilovers, badgeless grille.

Gambba · May 10, 2004

Looking good, always liked the projectzwo kit as it is very subtle compared to most. What exhaust did you fit then, just a backbox or full system?

jimboA3 · May 10, 2004

Full system was fitted matey, im pleased with the kit too ! looks aggresive without being over the top. Just the way it should be !

recomdos · May 10, 2004

u's a mofo'n PIMP! lol looks sweet man! that sat nav ya got in there too? you not fancy the facelift lights to set it off? there's a group buy going on at the moment. pm me if ya want the lowdown......

neiloneilo · May 10, 2004

jimboA3 · May 10, 2004

Not that much mate - ebay is a wonderful invention ! lol! The guy really had no idea what he was selling !

jesters3 · May 10, 2004

Nice work, smooth lines at the front. Like Gammba nice subtle lines. Be intresting to see what the badgeless grille is like, is that the Kamei one or the S3Tuning one you looking at?

Grant · May 10, 2004

I think the S3 rear spoiler would complete it nicely!

jimboA3 · May 10, 2004

Think its the kamei one , whichever was on rich's A3 previously. Not to sure bout the rear spoiler really, has crossed my mind but dont know just yet !

Yeah that's the Kamei one....but don't forget to fit rings on it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif ...just my opinion of course.

yeah - I defo agree! as for waiting for the facelift lights, I've been waiting for ages anyway! a group buy makes it all a bit cheaper for us. I think with a spoiler and the rear lights it will broaden the car out to make it look a lot menacing with the subtle lines of the bodykit. It will also make it look a lot more updated and fresher. That kit is fab! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

jimboA3 · May 10, 2004

Cheers mate , i hik the rear wheels need spacing out a touch aswell. Anyone got any reccomendations for this ?

Forge Motorsport spacers. 16mm rear and 10mm at the front.

neiloneilo · May 10, 2004

Also agree about the spoiler.
I used to have a 1.8T with no spoiler, wished I had. More so now I have one.

I'll keep my eye out for you.

Nah, have the mesh grille it finishes it off nice. the one from s3tuning is the one for me.

Grant · May 10, 2004

I'm not usually a fan of Lexus rear lights, but these look not too bad... and I'm loving the dual twin exhausts!

gbhdavies · May 10, 2004

Have to agree with you there Imola. I'm not usually a fan either but those look OK.
Nice job JImbo, looking Swweeeeet! A quick word of warning about smoothing door handles. Mate of mine is a fireman and had a recent shout to a car that had hit a tree. Bloke was unconcious when they got there and car was on fire. Unfortunately the poor lad got more badly burned than he had too. just because of the few extra seconds to open the doors. I appreciate it's a big if, but you never know. What you've done so far looks great though!

Looking nice Jimbo!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

s3tle · May 10, 2004

hiya
looking good, but just wondering what offset the wheels are as they seem to sit in quite a bit from the arches? doubt it would cause any real problems but i know with my coilovers the inside of the wheel is very close to the strut.

s3tle · May 10, 2004

just seen this has already been rised but would be interested to know what ET the wheels are for comparison
thnaks

jimboA3 · May 11, 2004

i was told they were a 35 when i purchased them ! have to take them off to find out 4 definate. Are you still looking at selling yours settle ? Know someone that would be interested.
