My VR6 Now Lowered On Ksport Coilovers.

[VeeDubs]

just as my car reached 196XXX i started hearing the dreaded noise from the engine. So shes now parked on the side of the road infront of a KFC where i was driving it at the time, until it can have its timing chain done.

What kind of price should i be looking at for a timing chain? i've had a quote of 1200??

thats probly a reasonable ballpark figure. If you havent done it already you should probly do the clutch whilst youre in there as well though.

So after reading about it and thinking for months and months, i finally got to shaving the front bumper. did a DIY of it...its not painted yet but it will last me until next week!



ive got lots of pics of the DIY that i might post up in another thread in another section, if theres a demand... but i think its turned out well!

ill get a nicer pic in the morning. yes the badge is green.

VERY nice! Can't wait to see it all painted up!

Dude I like the badge that colour hahah. Do all your badges green, AND your wheels

I'm so chuffed you had the guts to do this, because I was wondering how hard it would be to shave the rest of mine (number plate recess). It's probably not something I'd jump on straight away but it's cool to see it done at home!

I'm diggin the green too for some reason..so 90's!

Oi, how you gonna do the indicators? I think you should do them like mine takes all of about 20 mins if you have everything lol

currently my indicators are zip tied to whatever wires are down there. i havent put the lower grilles back in yet as im going to paint it so i dont know what im going to do. i only have 1 side too (the other was lost long ago...)

maybe i should do the same colour wheel nuts and lip on the wheels...green wheels would be a bit full on....

and hard to clean...

if you want to do it ill give you a hand...i still have part of your bumper left over but jump in quick i think i know another mk3 who wants to do the number plate too : rolleyes:

All good, ..mine are plastic and they need to be painted anyway.
Perfect time to smooth!

As for paint I'de get a colour code and take it to a car place, they can then match up a spray can..I have one for mine it's an exact match!

If you need a hand I can come see how you done yours, still got a week off college
Might have a crack at mine too.
