[jonyb4]

oh aye forgot to update this friday...

my idle speed control valve has been playing up for a few months now, so i finally got a new one and ifitted it:





i also got a new sticker today so popped it on

[EUFez]

Personally i'd get rid of the sticker and exhaust...

But everything else looks great! Looks like your a good welder, fancy welding my new arch panel at fitp?

[Ratspeed]

Looks like your a good welder

[YoungRogue]

Looks like your a good welder

lol

[jonyb4]

yea ok enough's enough can we drop the welding jokes now please

[EUFez]

[dontpannic]

Looking good!

Love fitting new engine parts, nice and shiney for a few weeks

What did you use behind the door cards? Does it make the speakers sound any better? Sorry for the 20 questions lol

[jonyb4]

umm speakers, no not that i can tell, dunno why it would either, dont understand how that kinda technique works, but its just some household carpeting from carpet right lol, nice and thick so it does the job, ive used it in the boot, under the mat and over the turrets (under the standard ones)

under the foot wells carpet, and behind the door cards now, aint got much of it left lol

dunno where else i could put ut


but the good side it has is less road noise inside the car, 70mph is nice and quiet now , also makes it feel a bit more refined

[jonyb4]

ive been wanting to get some lowering springs for some time now, but im lost for prices, there must be some out there cheaper than £60+ from new

anyone selling a mk4 set, im looking for a 40mm drop, but 35 would be ok too

cheers

[mada01]

what was wrong with your idle speed control?

[dontpannic]

ive been wanting to get some lowering springs for some time now, but im lost for prices, there must be some out there cheaper than £60+ from new

£60 is cheap for springs mate. If you went lower the manufacturing wouldn't be as good and you'd run massive safety risks. If I found springs for £60 when I was looking I would have snapped them up.

[Ratspeed]

yea ok enough's enough can we drop the welding jokes now please

Sorry buddy, all in jest mate!

[jonyb4]

ive been looking to retrim my two cards, only the part that has cloth on it, as mine are pretty shagged, id want something newer without brown stains ont hem lol, but dont know where to look

anyway little update:
ok ive been wondering what to colour code on the inside for a few days now, but ive made somewhat of a start, so far ive only painted the gear knob cap (had a spares)



but what esle to do is a struggle, i only want "subtle" things doing, in other words small and NON CHAVVY

these are some pics of the interior





these are what i done the other day, painted the door handle pull surrounds and painted the vent surrounds in gloss black looks better imo





PLEASE anyone got any suggestions



Oh and my spoiler come today its down the body shop atm, done professionally for £20 so thats rather good and should be done by thursday so will be fitted then and woop bring on FiTP



and ive removed my dor handle pulls to do this:

ok so far and as far as i can go tonight ive done this...











will be putting them back in the doors tomorrow and ill get some pics up



Jon

[dontpannic]

Done by thursday? FITP is 2 days away lol.

Looking good so far mate, I never do too much to the interior - doing small bits often looks out of place and colour coding often stands out too much lol.

I'm hanging on for black + silver/chrome interior

[jonyb4]

lol that thursday thing is [ERRR] its a copy and paste from F4OC, and silver looks crap against the blue interior,a nd i hate chrome lol, well if it looks s**t ill repray them black

[Minstral]

get a black dash. was looking at max's old mk4 had a black dash with the silver surround looks spot on.

Thats what i was going to say, black dash and door cards would look spot on

Car is getting there!

[M1K3Y_B]

Spray the dash bits white, looks so good with a black dash

[jonyb4]

hmm maybe a black dash if and when i get a job for the money for it
