Daily duties

**nick_mk1** · 20-10-2014, 06:08 PM

Thought I'd throw this in the works
A few of you already know me as I own a mk1 aswell

I bought my mk5 fsi in December last year
It was perfect! 100,000kms, 1 owner and picked it up for only $7,900!!

Here's some photos when I got her

Shortly after I threw on some audi q5 wheels! Perfect for daily wheels at the time

Here's a shot with stock suspension and a photoshopped photo ( future to have air suspension)

Soon after I purchased some jom coilovers, many people don't think they're good as they ride like stock suspension and are only able to be height adjusted , but for me that was the intent of buying them

A few months passed and I changed a few things

Starting with my wheels!
They where 17x10 and 17x8.5 borbet type A

Things always fly off when you least expect it (bits of the cloth on the wheel). It only takes one bit of grit for a trip to the ER.

The $12 units at Bunnings work well & look OK.

Get the basics right now & he's set for life

Yeh I know what it's like to have things snap and hit me in the head

Don't worry only time he's ever not worn ppe

Ouch! Hope you had 100% recovery.

Sorry to harp but I have a thing about instilling safety in "new workers" as what most people think is common sense is actually learnt.

Enough of that. I think your car is great & you've done some interesting things with it. Well done!
