JBOB 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Thanks for the cool comments guys :D The wheels are 17" Compomotive rl's that Dav (Pureklas) refurbed back in last November. The camera is a Canon A700. Maybe not the best camera on the market but its got loads of features that you usually get on a high end camera 8) Its definitely better than my old £40 from ebay camera :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Back in June @ Inters I came back to my car to find a business card from Fabain (Golf+ editor) :D :D Turns out he'd been looking everywhere for my car after seeing a picture on the badly dubbed website. After a few emails we sorted out a photo shoot for a feature :D I had the pics taken back in July and was asked to be on the Golf+ stand @ VW Festival 8) I spent ages with Fabian talking about the car and the words for it. What a way to top off a fantastic summer. Ive been to loads of shows this year and had nothing but positive comments from everyone :D :D Out in the shops on Friday :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted October 30, 2006 Nice one JBOB, I saw this car at the Leeds Festival a little while ago and it looks great in the metal. Recently i was in Belgium and had a peep at their version of Performance VW and there it was again. Bit of an international star. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBOB 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks guys 8) 8) 8) Goldie Whats the mag called and was it a show report ?? Ill see if I can get a copy :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted October 30, 2006 It was called VW Power or Power VW. I was over there at the end of September. It was a show report. The mag is up in Durham and im down in pompey at the moment so i dont have any more details. I think the cover car was the light blue MK1 which had a feature in Golf + recently.

Bournemouth James 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Congratulations on the mag feature, car looks cool, love the front end. Really love that black, is it metalic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted November 2, 2006 Congratulations on the mag feature, car looks cool, love the front end. Really love that black, is it metalic? Thanks :D 8) Its Mercedes black (040) the bodyshop showed me loads of paint chips and after an hour they all looked the same :lol: I saw a Merc on the M62 that was really shinny and the black looked really deep so i went for that. At first the bodyshop started painting it with two-pack :roll: but I wanted base coat and lacquer !!! So I made them strip it off. Luckily they had just started the roof when I noticed :lol: They still managed to screw it up and I ended up taking the car back after 19 weeks and has another shop repaint every panel except the bonnet and roof :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted November 2, 2006 Wht rear diffuser i that? It looks much better than the rieger one on the profile, as it continues the natural curve of the rear bumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted November 2, 2006 Wht rear diffuser i that? It looks much better than the rieger one on the profile, as it continues the natural curve of the rear bumper. I got it from Venom. Its one of there own brand ones :D £60 + vat http://www.venommotorsport.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted November 2, 2006 Venom motorsport hey, i've tried to avoid them for a long time after the horror of gmax suspension. JBOB, Your car is truly menacing mate!

JBOB 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Well after fitting the Koni coilovers (from Zak on here) and only having them on the car for a few weeks I got talking to Matt (Doublezero on E38) about my Golf+ feature. Turns out he's taken the air ride system off his car and we came to a sorted out a deal to swap it for my Koni's 8) Its a Rayvern kit using Koni struts and BRAND NEW Firestone bags 8) 8) The ride is fantastic but a bit weird :? It feels really stable like being on the coilovers but no crashing or bad back when going over the massive potholes round here 8) Corrado ass goes up / Corrado ass goes down lol A cool video :D 8) OR if it doesnt work try - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzQEaxHsqZQ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
