i have the wheels built and nipped up with instant gasket on them, so need to torque them this week and then do them with silicone as a back up then get the tyres on and we will be good to go. need to go to PMG Autocare as it looks like its been washed with a goat.

haha was already sorted for after the wedding so just confirmed it and talked over it a bit

 

[Ben]

I mean't with hydros over the static life. But I knew you were going that direction anyway. Looking forward to seeing updates!

 

[patton]

hahaha agh right ok i get you now! yea just don't have the balls

Good to see more of these getting done. Revo opens it up. Car is pretty dead as standard, exhaust/intake/downpipe will do wonders for noise also.

John is the best guy to go to and knows the TT well, at least he knows half the car is aluminium now Should look well dropped on the TMBs

 

[patton]

yea i plan to get it done at some stage i drove ians mk5 and the revo gave it a really nice lift. yea can't wait to get more noise out of it sounds quite nice as standard, its louder than i was expecting it to be. haha yea we were talking about that on sat night

 

[patton]

Got this sent through to me by John. Can't wait to lift it should have it tonight if all goes to plan. Need to get the mud flaps off.

 

[Ben]

Mk2 TTs go so low. Looking forward to seeing it with all your touches.



When are you putting a K04 in it?!

 

[patton]

yea I'm really pleased with how low it went, should be even lower with the other wheels on and the smaller tyres. haha id like to eventually but it will be a while before I've that sorta money to throw at it

 

[patton]

No tyres on yet but couldn't resist a trial fit. John has really worked his magic! by pure chance the wheels fit perfectly. Couldn't be happier with it.

 

[richie_mck]

Love that

Unreal Mike.

That garage has seen some yokes in its time.

 

[patton]

few more pictures of how it sits

 

[Boydie]

TTS front and rear bumpers would looks incredible

 

[euge07]

very cool looking, love the wheels, looking forward to seeing the tyres on etc

 

[patton]

TTS front and rear bumpers would looks incredible

yea would looks great but they are just so expensive, tempted by tts skirts as they have a square edge rather than curving under the car.

 

[martinopy]

Can be got for cheap enough on eBay. I got a rear one for the other halves TT for £80. The TTS and s-line are the same bumper with just a different insert. Audi themselves were cheapest for the side skirts though with new ones working out cheaper than most on eBay.

 

[Ian A]

Didn't need rear camber then?

Worked out so well

 

[patton]

Depends how much lower the front will go when I sort out the arch liners and get the tyres on. Ill either add a small spacer and drop it right into the lip or else a bit of camber and tuck it

 

[patton]

called down to PMG Autocare last night and i gave the car a wash to give them an opportunity to assess the paint on the car. its going to need a lot of work to get it up to standard. 8 years of tar, tree sap and fall out along with a life full of dealer washes and euro hand car wash has left the paint in a very sorry state.
i applied a quick coat of 50 Cal detailings filler glaze to take the bad look of things and see me through till i get the car booked in for an enhancement.

 

[ChrisL]

Looks great mate! Would love to see a tts front bumper or a lip of some kind, I think it needs something.

Wheels look fantastic!

 

[patton]

yea i agree id like to change it at some stage and change the grill as well

 

[Bono872]

Class looking. A BE grille would make the world of difference there
