What did you do today to your CC ?

**WidebodyQ** · 02-07-2010 05:54 AM

I was going to wait until I ordered my suspension but I couldn't resist

I feel like I am driving a cross over LOL. A serious drop will come in the next few months. Lighting is next on the to do list.

Nice! I was thinking alphards would look good, any chance that you could take some shots of the rear wheel fitment? I'm not gonna want to pull my fenders to make what I want fit

**kaysid** · 02-07-2010 08:12 PM

lets see some pics..just checked out your profile looks like youve been modding away in silence

**WidebodyQ** · 02-08-2010 02:44 AM

Thanks guys, hopefully it will all come together by the spring time.

The tires that are on the car came with the wheels. They are too big at 275/35 in the rears. I look to drop to a 235/35. As of right now, it rubs on dips

**fookerbob** · 02-08-2010 02:48 AM

interseting WidebodyQ, what is the rim size in the rear? is it by 9?

**WidebodyQ** · 02-08-2010 04:25 AM

9.5 rears 8.5 fronts.

**snow blind** · 02-08-2010 09:24 AM

Also thought about Alphies for a long while. Gonna have to be real low to pull them off. But regardless, good choice

215f + 225r all 40's and you should be set. Do not drop to a 35, no need, and will look horrible. Though if you're just going to drop her via springs or CC coils.. the 235s should be fine for ya.

Thanks. I felt the body lines of the car could pull off these wheels much better than most other cars could. I know most of you guys don't like chrome but I figured it would tie in the rest of the chrome on the body without over doing it.

Well I eventually plan on going air suspension and I want this thing to literally lay on the ground when parked. I would like for the full wheel to show. The rear quarter panel fender arch is cut lower from the factory. I will do 40's up front and 35's in the rear

The wheels "will tuck in" when you drop the car. The stiffer suspension will help preventing the wheels from hitting the wheel wells.

**WidebodyQ** · 02-08-2010 04:32 PM

The wheel wells will get tubbed when I go air

**jisong83** · 02-08-2010 04:40 PM

Which springs? OE, Sport, Super Sport, Race? Pics? Ride?
I want to do springs, 1-2 inch is enough for me.

H&R Sport Springs, it lowers vehicle 1.3" front & 1.2" rear aprox. Looks good, but the car is dirty, so no pics yet.

rides pretty much like stock, maybe it feels a bit more connected to the road, but i have not really TESTED it.

Got my CC flash'd (Unitronic) this morning. Noticeable performance gains (nothing crazy like flash on a 2.0T!), but the best part is throttle response (which is much better than stock).

**Ween2010** · 02-08-2010 08:32 PM

Switched out all interior bulbs with LEDs. Next up, footwell lighting.

Is there a DIY on this? Would be interested in doing it (interior LED swap that is). Is it literally just a 1 for 1 swap like the license plate lighting is?

**kdeering** · 02-08-2010 09:40 PM

Put the new E-Codes on! Euroswitch comes in next week. Putting a new downpipe in on Friday and getting the ECU flashed to Stage 2!! Also ordered the Vag-com cable from Ross today, feel bad having to ask everyone to use one so now I can do it myself and help others that need it (givin it back!!)

Simple install. Just replace factory bulbs (194) with LEDs of your choice. I used 5 LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com. The rear map lights are simple The whole thing easily pops off exposing the bulbs. I recommend taking the front dome light apart to access the bulbs. I tried to pry the lens off and scratched it a bit. I couldn't get it to pop and gave up. Taking it apart literally takes 2 minutes and makes job simple. Use this link.

Glad to hear! I am going to email a friend to check if it is available for my ECU.

What are you waiting for, f00!

I like the way the CC rides from factory; it rides so much better than my mom's '06 Passat.

**Veedubin02** · 02-09-2010 08:03 PM

Better pics please Mat, ya bastard, I am looking at those only polished my next wheels.

BTW anyone looking at doing a suspension (specifically coils) shoot me a PM.

**passat_98** · 02-09-2010 09:08 PM

Nice.. the Rotis in black look are almost invisible on there... would love to see the machined faced of there!

**RafaGolfBr** · 02-10-2010 08:00 PM

gave it a nice bath, tomorrow I'll clean the interior nicelly and take some hi-res pics

**Draw007** · 02-10-2010 08:29 PM

Based on what I've seen lately, I can offer a significant improvement.

I bought a new Nike driver for my golf game to place in the trunk of my cc.

**Draw007** · 02-10-2010 08:32 PM

stupid. And you even live in the NW... WTF?

**RafaGolfBr** · 02-12-2010 03:58 PM

witnessed a crash while driving home on I-95

Lincoln Navigator flipped over after it ran over the driver's side quarter panel of an AUDI R8! Driver got ejected (no seatbelt), but looked ok (conscient, laying down). Emergency arrived within 5 minutes.

**snow blind** · 02-12-2010 08:53 PM

ooooo rootbeer brown... sheit, they looked black in the dark

dope man! I'm waiting for you to go step-lip-multi-piece

I love those wheels, and I love your car x10^100th power, but I really dont think that finish flows with the car. Though.

I hope to jump on a CC soon though, something similar to yours.

**fookerbob** · 02-15-2010 11:25 AM

ordered KW V3's and Gold Coast Kit

**snow blind** · 02-15-2010 07:48 PM

took a icy, snow covered corner too tight and dented the rocker a little
