there is a teaser pic lol

yea ill have to do that, u can kinda see it in the engine bay shot i posted
i dont have half caps, im using BIG washers that are flat (my boy uses them on his ari ride set up)
reason for the washer is because with the polo bushing the strut caps stick up super high with the design of the polo bushing
this lets it sit almost flush with very little play room between the new "strut cap" and the body of the car

[PLAYED TT]

Yeah I used the CNC at school to cut them out. I'm positive that even half caps would not work

So this is a fs thread now

[1.8tipgls]

So this is a fs thread now

people are just posting in here, this is just the build thread, not the fs thread haha

[PLAYED TT]

That's what I thought hahaha.

[PLAYED TT]

Just saw your feeler thread. It's a shame to see her go. 8500 is way low for a car that clean.

is it just me or your car has a front lip underneath the front bumper? OEM?

[1.8tipgls]

finally updated the thread a bit
added pics of how my car looked at the end of the 2011 season
All wheels beside the stockers have been sold and I am awaiting my new set of wheels, ETA is mid April
Car is also going into the body shop the second week in april to get a thing or two shaved and get the hardtop color matched to the body
so im in no real rush to get the new wheels
car is still raised up for winter at the moment

The "front lip" you see is actually just the OEM belly pans under the car
I've noticed they do look a bit wierd at times too

[1.8tipgls]

Got the car back from the bodyshop back in the end of april
havent posted anything since then
i shaved the rear valence
also had the hardtop color matched, havent put it on the car yet to take a new pic
