New MK3 Dubber!

[Lorenz]

Yeah I cant wait!

Oh and also bought a little something else for fun!
Will look better once colour matched I reckon

[Golf Houso]

$19 Ebay eyelids? they make my car look like a vento/B4 passat at night, not a bad thing.

Oh and keep them black you'll find if you colour code them it'll look too much like a try hard attempt at a boser grill.

[Lorenz]

Nah I bought them off Deemo, carbon fibre look ones!

I dunno, I prefer them colour coded, can look pretty good, but I no what you mean though!

Cant say this doesnt look good?!



^^^^^^ One of my fav MK3's

Hmnnn I agree. I just realised thats a 5 door, wow... Is that clear-coated primer? never mind...

I'm almost certain you can actually swap the eyelids around and get the very same look, they'll sit fine on the car, 'av a go! I experimented with mine but chose the clean look instead to fill in the space on top of the lights, plus the fact that theres that much gloss black on the car it kinda matched and didn't really need coding.

What have you stuck them on with for the time being?

They look like the ones that used to be on my old car that were over $100 from carshine!

[Lorenz]

Yeah I had a quick go, dont seem to sit that well! Too short on one side

Painted up one of the lids in silver, matched up quite well in the end!

They werent stuck on, just sat on the lights!

[Golf Houso]

Oh right, maybe it was just me. Good to see that its matched up well, now just give it a good polish and clear-coat if you havn't done so already.

Jeez, thats rough, I have ones like these, they were just black ABS plastic for almost the same price:

They came in around 5 days

[Lorenz]

Yeah $100 seems pretty steep hey, but I guess stuff like that was a little more hard to come buy back then hey!

Few pics of the strut brace. Didnt realise till i went to put it on how close it sits to the back of the bay, had to move the metal lines (aircon maybe?) down and under the clips that hold it up neatly. Plus drilling the holes was a bit of a bit bitch!





I de-stickered it and polished it up a bit before it went on, looks nice and shiney now

Oh and yes I know my engine bay needs a good clean, its bloody filthy as

[Lorenz]

Ok so I attacked the Golf today and went to install the coilovers. All seemed easy enough at first, bottom strut bolts werent a problem with a breaker bar, but wen it came to the strut top bolts it wasnt quite the same! The stupid setup with the whole 7mm allen key and deep socket was a headf**k
Never knew it would be sooo hard to find an allen key that fitted the damn hole. Took four hours in the end to make up some new tools and adapt a small as 7mm key, very dodgy but worked, kinda...
Other side looked simple as we had the right tools this time, until the allen key hole threaded and split down the side of the bolt meaning nothing would fit and hold in there. After lots of swearing, ranting and head scratching, we decided to destroy the old shock and drilled a hole to the shaft deep enough to fit a small metal bar (this took another hour almost!). It worked, but resulted in a dead shock which ill replace if the stock struts ever go back in.

Front coils are now in, not adjusted yet tho so sitting pretty low with the front lip about a finger width off the ground Will be raised tommorow along with the rears going in and a wheel allignment! Got MAD rake though!

[Lorenz]

Wonder how low it would go when they settle

[rayray086]

Nice going! Full car shots today!

[Golf Loon]

Just use airtools and a rattlegun to unzip the top suspension bolt. Heaps easier than using special tools.
Glad you got there in the end tho.

[Soundofav6]

The colour matched up well on the eye lid.. You can use Hot glue gun to make it stay inplace, Strong and cheap and easy removed and no damage when you don't need it.

Ride height is awesome. keep us updated with more pics.

If we had a compresser that worked, I would have tryed it, but alas ours is dead and noone was around that had one i could borrow, damn Mothers Day!
