Silver Mk3 VR6

[schoona]

Good Evening,

A short introduction/presentation combined.
Only a young bloke, 18 and just bought a VR6. Have been looking since spying Steve's on a Vortex cruise last year. You could perhaps say I was "inspired".

Although i would love to say "this will be my buildup thread", I can't just yet. Can always dream

The few pics i have. Will get more soon.




Many thanks.
Malcolm

Damn, I was in Newcastle today for a recording session...I wanted to see some dub up there but couldn't find much at all!

Nice car man, silver's an awesome colour if you get it nice and shiny. Throw some Kiwi shoe polish onto those textured bumpers and you'll be set mate.

Good stuff! Wished I had a VR! How's it treating you so far?

Looks like a dent in the hatch there but other than that... clean And about 30 000 less clicks than mine.

What type of music?

Dubs (as far as enthusist) are fairly thin on the ground up here
Lots of standard MkV GTI's and the occasional mk4 GTI with wheels but other than that zilch.

Will do re: Kiwi polish.
She is gonna be a keeper

I picked it up about 2 yesterday. Went to the VW dealer (Klosters) as have become rather friendly, so had to show it off

Brang her home and admired for a while, and then was at work all day today, meaning I havent taken her cruising or for a bit of a B-road tinker yet.

Soon though. Im making the transition from RWD to FWD, so it's going to be a learning curve ..you'll see what i mean

You have a keen eye.
Yeah and a few minor scuff marks on the rear bar, probably shopping trolley stuff. Who cares? I'll fix it all up in time

Originally wanted white (NOT to copy Steve, but didn't think it could go wrong )

Ill explain in the next couple of posts.

Top 5 do?
1. Modshack intake (Ian at rennenhaus)
2. Magnaflow muffler, twin upswept tips, stainless 2.5" to the cat. Don't really have $1100 for that neuspeed cat-back
3. V2's
4. Debadged/blackout. Tiny US "rabbit" on tailgate.
5. Window tint

Lots of other things > billet crck pipe, pulleys, hose kit, boot/bonnet lifters. All in good time though

[Lorenz]

Welcome mate. Very nice VR you have there and awsome colour, not enough silver MK3's around, by far the best colour (I may be a tad biast!)

Look forward to seeing this car getting built up in the not so distant future

Transition period.

At first, there was this.



Which became this, because the AMG wheels were the wrong offset (bought with car)



Im open minded, and think it looks good. But also like the Euro styled dubs. I can assure you it will not be getting full sick 18" chromies yulleh.

If anyone has seen the latest PVW magazine (white Mk1 on red Tramonts on the cover), there is a white Mk3 with black/polished lip Mercedes wheels. Im thinking these that were on the merc (16x7 and 16x either polished or black/polished may look sweet.
