State of play, end of 2011 (MJT Latest Pics)

[MJT]

Another little shoot i did recently. I wasnt long after i got the suspension and its settled a touch lower since then, i might have to raise it.

Very nice! What size spacers?

[MJT]

No spacers, 'al naturale'

ET45 offset.

Those shoes look like they were made for the Jetta.
Looks like a mini R36

I like! as team_v said, if there was a R or GTI jetta in AUS this is how it could have looked.
are all those pics edited? or just standard?
my only thing will be to say the front could be a touch lower and it would be bang on.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me haha. Yeh thinking of heading to the r36 meets, see if anyone notices.

Only thing edited in the pics was I blurred the background on some to give the shot a greater depth of field. Don't have a dslr so gotta fake it lol. Why you ask?

I think have noticed the car has settled further than these pics (they are about a month old). But yes I'm somewhere between raising the back and lowering the front. Might stick with lowering the front for the show

Wow that is **** HOT!
i want my front end to look like that!

[Silver dub]

Mate it looks fantastic!

MJT - top job! I have a Jetta 147 and have ordered the R Line Fog Light Grilles. I have read that they are difficult to install, or dont fit the Jetta Euro spec bumper (that we have in Aust) at all. It appears they fit very well on your car and a hardly noticeable gap in the outside top corner fog grille recess on the front bar. Is it really that noticeable in the flesh? Are there any issues swapping them from the standard fog light grilles on the 147? I am going to have them painted matte black and don't want to spend any money getting them painted if they need heavy modification.

^ thats exactly what i thought - and had to look a bit closer to realise it was a Jetta. That looks clean as - i love it. Just my taste, very tidy, clean and shiny, and not over the top in any way.

I don't think so. If you look for the gap (and me being a perfectionist) yes you can see it. But no nobody would notice that wasn't looking for it. They need minor modification to file off some clips but no visual changes so painting the front won't be a problem.

Thanks for the comments gents.

Thanks MJT! I received the R Line Fog Light Grilles and I attempted to line the top clips but they are about 3-4cms out for each slot in the front bar. The other clips on the grilles seem to pretty much line up however the top clips (where the original faux chrome top is located on the standard fog light grilles) are out by quite a margin. Can you please advise what you did modification wise to achieve what you have done? I dont want to break the clips off however I need to be able to have something left on the grilles in order to clip the top section is. If you could let me know, that'd be great, otherwise I will have to sell them.

[MJT]

All the clips get used except the very top strip (the ones that dont line up). I filed those off as the rest of the clips hold the grill in sufficiently firm that the top clips arent needed.

Hope that helps
