First time tuner

Only image of my car as it is shamfully dirty at the moment and needs a good clean before I take more pics.

It's very standard at the moment but just ordered a set of Spax lowering springs and a pipercross panel filter.

Not going to go too crazy on the mods just yet as I have a 50mile round trip to work every day and trying to save for a house but want to get away from standard and "boring" cars!

Planning on getting some new alloys, idealy black and a Powerflow custom exhaust, hopefully in time for FCS.

Hoping to get some more ideas and tips......

is it a TCE? That'd be a good start if it were

edit: This is not for the projects section as it isnt a project yet.

how much you lowering it by and what wheels you fancyin?plans sound good. where bouts in lincs are u?

 

[GavC]

Great plans there! When lowered it will look awesome

Any thoughts on possible alloys?

Check out BioHzrd's old motor, should set you on the right path.

going to lower it by about 30 to 35mm. Not to sure about alloys yet, I think I want some black ones which limits my choices. might just get some nice standard ones and spray them.

I near horncastle, you from Lincs too?

id go lower than 30-35mm to be honest as i know the mark3 sit quite high, youd easy get away with 60mm theres some pics in the suspension section of different suspension setups. like your idea on spraying standard wheels black, should look nice, yeh im lincs too, grantham so not too far away

On a more serious note, keep it subtle, it's the only way to roll.

yer I dont want to go ott! the springs and the panel filter is on the way now, im just going down by 35 for now as i may get bigger alloys maybe 16 or 17. Just going to wait and she what its like before I go to far.

If anyone has any ideas on good alloys that would really help, either black ones or ones I could spray myself.

The springs and filter is here, yay! Will get them fitted at the weekend and try to clean it and get more photos up so you can see the new look. lol.

Just cleaned my car so thought I would get a few pix put on!

My spring will be fitted soon, I need to wait til Im insured on my fiance's car so he can take mine in on a week day while I use his to get to work!

Hoping to get the wheels sprayed asap, just need to spare five mins lol!

Oh and for the eagle eyed people that wanted to know what is parked behind mine . .
