Very nice - as usual Torsten :)

[fla 9]

been a while since you posted any updates Torsten - that wing does look nice i must say. Any more shots around the car, interior & exterior? My preference would be for silver centre caps on the wheels rather than red though, although its your car and your choice.

Tried some kind of amber folie on my turns. But they are a way lighter than the original amber g60 turns.

where do you get the amber ones from? are they a genuine VAG item?

[Torsten 0]

The g60 turns ?? They are genuine vw parts. They came on USA G60.

refreshed my drivers seat leathers the other day. at first i just did the outer part of the seat. need to clean the rest as you can see in the pics.

 

first a before pic

 

 

masking the seat and did the first layer

 

 

using a hairdryer to dry it

 

 

done, just need to clean the rest of the seat but it looks worst in the pics than it is in person

 

 

this is what i have used, bought it locally at lederzentrum http://www.lederzentrum.de awesome stuff. its the correct color for my seats.

 

 

also ordered a set of cleaner and protector from same shop for the rest of the seat.

[Rorgasm 10]

Nice job:thumbleft: this is on my list of thing to do when we finally get some better weather. I shall have to get myself some of that. what was the procedure?

right before Wörthersee 2014 in Austria i tried something new.

 

 

i replaced my BBS LM's and decided to go with smaller Lenso BSX, but the black center wasnt my favorite.

 

 

also tried amber turns and amber side markers instead on clears.

 

tried some more versions of turns and front grill. yellow, not amber turns (used an yellow film on the stock turns) and clear side markers

the yellow turns almost match the headlights and fogs

 

 

badgeless grill and silver VR6 badge

 

clear turns

 

and a pic from the back where you can see that i put in 15mm spacers in the rear

Love the lms mate

[Torsten 0]

thank you :)

a few days after we returned home i noticed some vibration on the front. i checked the wheels first and saw some of the small screws of the BBS rims got loose :eek:

and i thought, ok problem found. i screwed them on tightly, put the front wheels back on the car and still had the same issue. :confused::confused:

i know i have to work carefuly on the screws by using extra tools and torque. but do i also have to balance them once again ?

i tested another set of rims and the car runs as it have to, no vibrations anymore.

any idea ???

 

 

got this issue only on the front wheels

 

tested a set of speedlines without vibrations
