[Golf Houso]

The plates look great, pretty self explanatory to! Always a nice change to see a car on here thats all business...
I'll take a couple rolling and other shots once I get the SLR sorted out....

[KI11Z]

hmm, lovely! how wide are the rears?! 9.5's? and i'm assuming the front bar was just "thrown" on for pics? any plans to go lower? lol, top shelf mate, good work!

[badgolfibad]

9.5 at back yeah, the bumper was thrown on for pics ive finished cutting today those pipes were so anoying but the end product looks good now another weeks labour to get it ready for painting, yeah branko we should do photo shoot ghetto cars.....in fairfield, got coilovers last week putting them in next week myself.

[DUB 12V]

looks like an aftermarked job on the front bumper? is that ebay bumper i saw for $450.00? you have had a good hack at it!! ... not pimp(ing)
But diggin deep on the big stoppers!!
does it really have a GT28? i no DUB 20V is pumpin his one hard n what ecu you runnin?
looks tuff..

[badgolfibad]

yeah it does, as the number plate suggests, yeh its got a standalone ecu as well as the stock one to run windows etc, mike webber did some work on it, yeah the brakes wernt cheap, the bumper is keeping me entertained for a week. she goes hard runnin a bit rough atm about 2 months untill internals get done and some things to do before the psi gets into the early 30s.

[Golf Houso]

yeah branko we should do photo shoot ghetto cars.....in fairfield,

Yeah defiantly, I can already think of a few good but at the same time distinctly Fairfield places to take pictures lol...

Ummm... how else do you expect in intercooler to fit

[Jmac]

Great stuff mate!!!! Ill see you at the Nats and we can have a chat about that Q. you asked me. Car looks good ,but mate i can see something is a miss, i dont want pick and im sure you know i dont, the disc wipers are facing the wrong way bud, looks like left and right have been mixed up, correct me if im wrong , but ive fitted zillions of slotted rotors on Dubs and Porsches and spot something like that a mile away. They should be 11oclock/5oclock and not 1oclock/7oclock, only trying to help mate
Cheers

Looks awesome tough from the front, from the back not so much.

Get R32 rear bar to match the front and you'll be set.

[badgolfibad]

thanks jamac what do you mean with the brakes could you send me a pm not quite sure what you mean but your help is appreciated, thinking about r32 bumper but dont really have 1000 spare bucks atm, this cars all about engine mostly and going quick, asthetics can wait. i was actually thinking of cutting the bumper in half and extending it by a few inches to give the lower appearence, but still thats far away, i really want to get these internals in and finish her up.

[Jmac]

The grooves should face the rear of the vehicle mate, yours are facing forward, left disc is on the right, swap back over to rectify bud. If you want ill pm you
