Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        If you want my opinion, which i'm sure you don't..

        I think it looks good the way it is. Just needs to be lower.

          Yeah guys KIWI shoe polish is the duck's nuts of bumper blackening. I've tried a few things and been very dissappointed to see them wipe or wash off very easily, but shoe polish is like paint with an awesome little applicator...my bumpers still look like that and I've washed it....four times in between, for 5 weeks worth.

          Preeny, the car won't get any different Only wheels, exhaust, and DROP.

            Once you go black, you never go back mate and you can't go black unless you use KIWI shoe polish!!

                  Thanks brother, yeah I'll call your white mk3=yummy and raise you a yummier with droppage and Audi wheels! Soon my friends...

                  I originally was looking for a black car, but when I saw this I fell in love and you can see why

                  Oh, and my plates? Drilled into number plate holes. Bastards at school think it's funny to take them and shove them on the end of the wipers and leave the wipers hanging in the air, so I park in front of the main building and have now drilled them in place. Take that!

                  HID's are 6000k, and yes I have photo's of them

                    mate your car is looking mighty clean! looking forward to your wheels choice and suspension etc.

                    I'm not quite feeling the blackened front indicators, but thats my opinion. As long as you love it. It suits your theme though.

                    nice work mate~
                    No more running wild...

                      To be honest mate, I keep looking at them now thinking they're too dark. I think they have darkened over time and you just can't see the indicators in daylight anymore. I'm going to have to look at LED's, and if they don't work i'll sand it back and only lightly tint them next time.

                      I still think it would look better completely shaved front though....hah

                            Almighty bump for a 'finally' update on my car!

                            The dub is finally sitting as low as it should, and I've tacked the magnaflow on. Hopefully Saturday will be tyres day, so I should have more pics soon too (Sorry for crap/massive pics too )

                            Enjoy







                            This was before I dropped the back down; we didn't realise we'd get so much rake!
