You don't need a TDi section, you have a mk5 section!!

Looks tidy though, smooth bumpers on a silver 6N2 are always a winner. Needs a touch of camber adjustment on the front though :lol:

how did u even notice that???
the steering is off to the right as i went over a ditch on the A406 in london, and bamm, off went the tracking.

i got a day off at the end of the month, so i'll take it in to get the tracking and camber alignments all done..

You can see in the pics that the front wheel is poniting inwards

An aero rear wiper and black rear view mirror would be good additions to an already very good looking tdi.

Looking very nice mate! Hows the colour match of it? the bumpers look slightly more matt than the rest of the car to me, great work though 8)

The colour match on those is great, I can definitely vouch for them. It's just silver always looks more matt than any other paints.

bumper

Post by mattyy »

to be honest tim, i mean max came and checked it too, the colour of the car and the bumper or near enough a great match, but i'm not too disheartened on that, as the car is going in for a full respray on 11/8/08, as the sides are gettin smoothed too....

what i do need though is an exhaust system, flush that wont show, and i dont want it too loud..any reccomendations? then its off for a remap..

max is pretty clued up on this but his too busy with his GTA 4!!

I had a Powerflow system done. Cost me £210 about two-and-a-half years ago.
