Happenings from the far west

[MattyT]

I dont post about my dub very often but I have been getting some stuff done to it over the last 6 or so months. The final peice of the (exterior) puzzle went on today.

So it went from this:


To this:


Anyone care to play spot the differences?

Nice work Matty, Me like very much!!! Great work on the car, It always looks the goods

[geoff_gti]

Hell yeah!!!! Looks awesome man

You took the smileys off your number plates?

[MattyT]

Thanks guys!!

They fell off on the fwy one day, i'll have to get more made up goeff ;p

Heres another little detail shot:

[Lorenz]

NIce set up matty..!!
Those wheels look dope !

[Tim]

they look the biz! Top stuff!

Nice, clean. I like how you've maintained the textured bumpers and flares and matched them with the black wheels and VW badge. Very nice contrast with the pistachio. Kamei vents look decent and I reckon the dual rounds tend to work best on the brighter coloured cars : )

What suspension are you rolling on?

[gareth_oau]

Nice work Matty!!

can I list:

rims
suspension
front lip
removed driving lights
debadged grill
VW grill badge blackened?
removed mudflaps
upgraded brakes (already mentioned)
removed smiley faces from numberplate (already mentioned)
and removed letterbox from driver's door!!


anything I missed?

and is a window tint in order?

Very motorsport, I like! What suspension are you running on again? Looks like a little bit more low will finish it off!

[balkanac]

Hes got KW V2s if i remember correctly.
Matty if you want tints let me know i know a very good guy, he comes to your house and charges almost half of what big companies charge. He charged me $200 for my car and those are 10%. He does a very very good job. He did my gfs car and another 4 cars owned by mates.
So if anyone else needs tints in Perth let me know

P.S. The car looks awesome, except the black rims. Im not a fan. If the car was white or silver than yes

Solid coin invested in this beast

HAHAHA Gareth, well done, give the man a prize! I bet you spend your Saturday mornings doing all the crosswords and puzzles in the paper

[MattyT]

Thanks for all the kind words guys, feels good to have some people liking what I do when most of my mates just dont get it.

Yes I have KW V2's. I do have tint, but its not nearly as dark as it was in the first photo (???% vs 38% now). The letterbox was a pain to get removed but I got there in the end

I have been fiddling with the ride height off and on for a few months. Dropped it pretty low but the ride got too firm for me, girls hated it (!!) and I kept bottoming out on spirited runs, not cool! It's currently set for optimum handling, if you go too low and the control arms go above vertical your steering suffers. You also get too much toe-in on the rear which was beginning to eat my tires more then I'd like.

There sure has! More to come too!

The next thing on the list is my stereo. It's ****. It's high quality components but theres bugger all bass. Most perth car audio stores also seem to have the care factor of a deceased camel so finding the right people for the job has thus far proven... hard.

After that hopefully its a exterior respray and dealing with some dents & weeny little spots of rust that are beginning to appear
