A fresh canvas, ready to mod

[chris w]

Alright,

 

As I’ve had time to think what I want to do now in terms of mods I can start.

 

With the help of bigphil after seeing his zed I feel my needs improving on in all areas.

The three areas are engine, styling (exterior), and supension of which I mainly want to concentrate on, with a plan to be subtle.

 

So heres my list;

 

Exterior;

• Z - badges front and rear

• Rear spoiler (not to big but not small) seen several and like the blitz one.

• Alloys , im thinking of staggered deep dish, with chrome lip. Well in that direction anyway.

• Clear orange reflectors, maybe with the white LED’s.

 

Engine;

• think I’ll go the induction route first to get a nice growl.

• Zorst I know there are loads to choose from but I know a very good be-spoke manufacture in the north east and can choose noise level and tail pipes to suit me, (prob a de-cat back)

 

Suspension;

• now this is an area I need to read up on, and seek advice from you lads, whats the best route, springs? Coilovers etc…

• brakes as on my past cars I’ve always upgraded the discs and pads, of which any recommended?(none brembo callipers) .

 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers chris.

Sounds like about £6k's worth of stuff there depending on if you buy proper wheels and tyres

 

 

I have a set of Tein S-Tech lowering springs available if you want them?

yeah sounds to me to but i think thats a good level around the 5k area, but it will take some time to do. 18 months to two years me thinks.

you are just making too wide statements. You can't say you can get a TWIN TURBO for £5k installed because you can't, in the UK.

 

PS the HKS Rotrex SC was discontinued months ago if not longer, TDi need to update their website

 

Oh and those prices I would think are excl. labour

[N15MNO-Daron]

haha.. who mentioned anything abt labour.... i just said u can get a supercharger for £5k ..i saw it advertised on that website so i mentioned it..not my problem if they dont keep it updated.

[Removed]

actually without labour, you can get a Vortech for about £3k from the US and all in for about £5k. But no TT or HKS SC

That quote says to me the supercharger is £5k, no price for a TT?
