I'm going lower people. Jeesus. Apparently I'm the only person that understands wheel diameter in relation to arch diameter lol Bottom line is, not ever going this low, and even this low, the wheels still look slightly smallish.
PS door had some wind noise coming from it so I realigned the doors on both sides and got them to seal up nice and tight. Also aligned with the shoulder a little better. Thanks to Zach for loaning me a 12 point socket.
Love the progress, but I vote no to the Benz wheels, I don't like wheels when they have the wrong company symbol on them - you might look into using Audi centercaps
If I were to rock the ML63 wheels, they would no doubt have some custom "idwurks" billet caps by Euro Image, or Audi caps. I don't do that kind of stuff. I am going to give the whole wheel situation some time to settle and I will see what comes my way. In the meantime, I am going to debadge, give the car a REAL detail for the first time, and do some coil work.
I have Weitecs off my Mk4 which I am stupidly assuming are compatable? I would like to clean them and also powdercoat the springs a different color before they go on. Maybe ceramic coat them silver. This car is going to get all the treatments my Jetta never got. I want every part to match, every piece to be like new, and every plastic piece clean and in tact.
If anyone really IS interested in trading me their LS hatch with 3.2 spoiler in Mint shape - let me know. I believe the hatch truly looks WAY better on the Coupes WITH a spoiler, but understand the pureness of not having a spoiler. To me, if the 3.2, QS and 225 all have spoilers, Idk why I would want my car to look "outdated" without one. Just a different point of view I guess. I want to convert everything to the newest version possible, IE QS grill, 2003 aluminum shift knob, new Concert2 radio, so forth.
And for the record I would like the car to be around 23.75 all around I think. And for any doubters, here was my jetta in what I consider it's finest. I know about rare parts.
I don't understand what those pictures are supposed to mean...?
LaminX just protects the headlight lenses from rocks... for the most part... Is this one of those turn up the volume louder so you dont hear rattles solutions?
Oh sorry... some people applying coloured Lamin-X to change headlights appearance. Say different colour and I was thinking that you want do this and of course protect headlights. I did change all bulbs even HID to yellow and know I do need to restore headlights but I will go with some kind of sprayed protection over the lights. Anyway, sorry again I was in another forum before where they was talking about...
Cool, another local TT. I'm selling my old rims. I some random stuff laying around. I'm in the East bay so if you need a hand with something let me know.
I have 42ddcatback exhaust w/ 3.2 honeycomb valence, set of 4 tires (225/45/17), 18" rims below, various ball and cone seat lugnuts in various lenghts, misc. wheel spacers.
Your car sits great! I am currently looking at 3 piece wheels but I appreciate the offer =) Going to Memoryfab tomorrow with Clun9 to check out some wheels =)
Still have some artifacts inside the lens which are going to just have to wait until I get the lights apart for smoked markers and removed reflector... Who knows when that will be.
