Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • New Ride....

    Picked up myself a new ride the other day. Keeping it in the family. Is a 2002 Audi A4 1.8TQ Man. I could not pass this car up. Had it a week and already making it mine, Wheels and Tint done so far. I'm lowering the car on Wednesday maybe 1.75In at the back and 2In at the front. Also toying with the idea of colour coding the black plastic trim. Let me know what you guys think, Im loving this car right now....

    nice man!
    turbo wheels, awesome!

    slam that sucker and get rid of that tyre gap and it will look the goods.

    Also as you said colour coding it will make it look great! I'll keep an eye on this one

      Agreed on the colour coding mate, im doing exactly the same on mine. Ive got to get bigger pipes too, they are too small and this was verified by Gavin (H100VW) when he was following me last night, that sealed it for me too.
      Must admit im a big fan of your wheels mate, very nice indeed, were they on it when you bought it??????
      Congrats on the buy, and with loving it, i really am hearing you. Cant get enough of mine at the moment.

            LowVeeDub, looks the goods mate!
            I'm really fellin' the wheels...

            As for the colour coding, I would be in two minds.

            I was considering this for my Passat also, however the black plastic is dimpled (if that makes sense) Will it look good colour coded? Or do they smooth these parts to give it a smooth finish?

                look good man, id re-think lowering 1.75inch at the back. the front of the car will sit nose down. i like to go 1/2 inch to 1 inch lower at the back from the front.

                colourcoding all the way

                  your going to make it lower???


                  i'd keep it as is - at least then you'll be able to drive it properly.

                  anyhow, very nice mate. wheels look really, really tops.

                            Looks great mate. How will you go for clearance if you lower it? Looks pretty tight already.
