[dylan8]

Thanks guys!!


So 18" lips on the 17s arnt doing if for me after more research... they dont look scaled right against the centres in other pictures as others have said.

So... new plan is:
on the front:
rear lip, rear centre, 15mm adapter, front barrel. this should give me a ~7.5" wide wheel. 205/45 tyre off the rear and enough offset that i could still wind the coilover right to the bottom if i wanted. Tyre will give me a bit more side wall height so i can close up the wheel arch gap without going to much lower. 205 will give me 8mm approx, 215 = 18mm approx extra tyre height

on the rear:
Re drill the flat backed front centre, so no adapter needed (maximum offset play), and new lips for some bigger dish, should be 9.5-10" in the end depending on what i can fit between the shock and arch.
and most likely a 215/45 tyre for a 9.5 wheel or 225/45 tyre for the 10", then add the camber plates.
Giving me again more tyre height, so i can hopefully tuck while still having some nice rake.

Shouldn't work out toooo expensive as ill just need two new tyres, two new lips, refurb existing lips, and drilling cost

Pulled off the front bumper, grille, and headlights.
Followed this method so no point in me writing one, exept i did almost break the temperature sensor attached to the front bumper because i completely forgot about it
MVD - Montreal Vdubbing :: View topic - Mk4 Golf/Jetta Front Bumper Removal (grill and lights too)
Dropped in my 4mo headlights (with fog) and with a slight joey mod, and plastic lens refurb.
All the work is a bit ghetto looking, but i can live with that... for now..
New US spec r/s/r/s taillights, chopped to enable fog lights
Also removed my single lower front fog finally.
New stubby aerial, bit hard to see in these photos






The CC got kicked out to make some space...

[Silver dub]

I love progress photos!!!!!!!!

New tails look the shiz, it makes it look like a later model now.

Headlights turned out great man, looked awesome on a black car!

[dylan8]

Thanks mate.
Think i made the right choice on the headlights and tails.
full joey would have meant to much black, there enough to tie them into the body now.
and the tails match the front, my other option was full straight red, but i think the r/s/r/s blends it to the body a little more.
Now for the grille, rear badge and number plates!
oh and being able to see at night now is also an advantage, i thought i was just getting use to the CC headlights, but it was really my old ones were super bad. Still not amazing, but HEAPS better then when they were fogged over
