Looks good! Fronts don't poke as much as they looked in the previous pictures. They sit perfect at the front! I'm quite jealous! Haha
I like the sound of eibachs mate, I think the subtle-ness of your car is what makes it stand out. But I would also look amazing slammed! HahaJust needs some 10mm spacers on the rear and to come down abit in height. Can't decide on coilovers or mayb just some eibachs as already running b5 purches up front

Oh great find then! Lovely colour. Did you spray it or good old fashioned paint brush?
Good old fashioned brush on. Its better than the £30 calliper paint I previously used on the fronts and its even better on bare metal
Think I'll paint mine pewter grey possibly!was thinking of painting mine blue, got to look better than rusty.
anyone know of a big brake conversion that bolts strait on and is cheap?
Think I'll paint mine pewter grey possibly!
I upgraded to 312mm front discs which is probably the easiest conversion!
I'm pretty sure all you need for the upgrade is the 312mm caliper carriers. I got a full set of 312mm brakes for £80, so in the end I didn't need to source things individually.they go straight on? going to have to have a look now
I've got a 320mm set up if your interestedthey go straight on? going to have to have a look now
Cailpers and nearly new discs and pads and dust shield you can have the lot for 50 quid if you come pick it up near York .. There off my 1.8t quattro cab discs are 320mm will do some pics tonight .. Discs are pagid and pads are gen audiis that calipers and discs? any specs or pics and how much?
Pm yousounds good. can you pm me the pics if you get chance.
Cheers
Painted grill surrounds gloss black
yeah I removed the grills cleaned them with wire wool to remove ingrained dirt gave a sanding with some fine paper to key the surface wiped them down to clean off any dust then primer few light coats of gloss to build it up then 3 coats of laquer
just take your time the longest part is the prep work before you paint it light build ups are better than a heavy coat which will probably runNice one. Good result. Im no painting expert, so will follow your method.
