GTi 6 Calipers, Ceramic Pads and Discs

DTH bodies of back order, Catcams, and verniers on route.. and maybe a tad of direct port giggle gas :o

[Norledge]

ooopsie just ordered my Group N OMP system ::)

[Norledge]

I wanted it running as a GTi by donny on the 11th of march, but due to my operation doubt that'll happen :(

Because its a derv at the moment it's a huge job to convert to petrol so it'll take me a couple of weekends anyway :)

[Norledge]

Speedline 2108's

15's... and it's staying flat arch before anyone asks :D

[Norledge]

Shame it's staying flat arch, would look insane with arches.


Original Plan was Dimma, but my girlfriend pointed out that this is going to be a car a i can bend and not mind, £17 for a pattern wing compared to christ knows from dimma :p

I was considering a gti kit, but that'll take away from the sleeper style i'm aiming for :)

[Norledge]

Cheers Guys :)

With anyluck we'll be looking around 200 brake FCS next year :)

Anyone wanna do a photoshop with arches?

[Norledge]

I say leave the arches off, also keep the steelies on with the wheeltrims and strip the interior...

...then go out and surprise a few people ;) :D


I don't trust the weedy little steelies as a Derv :p

Plus i need 15's to fit over my brakes :(

[Norledge]

:D

I got a set of 406 steelies, but they just didnt look right... speedlines it will be ;D

[Norledge]

Verniers arrived :D
