You are SAVAGE mate!! How can you drive a car so low?! Especially in the winter! Im having trouble after 3 days LMFAO!

Those brakes are HUGE!! I need this! Bet she stops on a penny

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Haha it's easy man! You get used to it

Yeah stops pretty quick now, and my handbrake finally works haha

 

[suj]

Jordan you literally learn to drive like that, change routes, know where the pot holes / dips in the road are etc

Good work on the brakes Arunjeet Singh

 

[JordanMk3]

Lmfao! I hope so, that horrid scraping noise is becoming more common than the sound of 3000rpm..

 

[CraigW]

Looks good with the new brakes!

And big respect for driving it that low through the winter!

 

[drka-drka]

Hated polishing my bolts, so went to uncles factory, put them in the "tumbler" with some bead medium....JOB DONE lol

Gorgeous bora mate..its a credit to you!
are your caliper carriers on the front the type that are welded to the hub instead of the bolt on ones?
if so how did you make the larger calipers and disks fit..would love to do the same myself on my tdi leon.

Thanks dude!
No they're bolt on carriers fella, my old hubs were the welded type, they won't take bigger brakes. You have to upgrade the hubs as well, i upgraded mine to golf GTI hubs, the bearing were fooked in my other hubs so needed to change them lol

Got some magnets today because I'm a ***** for them. Took my plate surrounds off, not a fan of them anymore lol

The other reasons for magnets was show plates, makes it easier to switch at shows, and ofcourse, everyday to pee off the security guards/parking attendants at uni

Red'd up my spare rear lights today

Started with:

Sanded down

Coated the clear and orange bits a couple of times then whole light. Let to bake

Clear coated

Then flat and polished

Really happy with how they've turned out, all in an evenings work

 

[LMJ]

Beautiful mate! I'd like to do that with some Ibiza lights. Would it be possible? If not with the smoked ones, the unsmoked / coloured ones...

 

[cupra.al]

what grade of paper are you using when doing the body panels ive got to spray a wing mirror cover on my gfs car?

Thanks man
Maybe, but obviously them bits would come out darker than the rest of the light, won't have the same affect.. Coud be worth buying some spare lights cheap (as I did) and giving it a go

what grade of paper are you using when doing the body panels ive got to spray a wing mirror cover on my gfs car?

I use 1200/1500 to flat down the lacquer then work up to 2000-2500...then heavy cut compound with a heavy cutting pad, then finished with a polish and finishing pad

I'd start with 2000 and spend a bit longer wet sanding if you feel less confident
