The beast and it's overhaul!

Post by S4Player » Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:43 am

Well after finally being happy with the cars performance after it setting the new world record etc it's time for it to have a makeover! It wants for nothing mechanically now after doing the 034 control arm kits etc recently it's now off to Greg Howell for a colour change complete interior overhaul and some custom forged wheels (thanks Jules) ! Colour is decided interior and wheels are still in the discussions stage. I'll upload pictures etc of Greg progress as he sends them over to me! I was selling it this summer but tbh i can't see anything that ticks the boxes the way the b7 does so this is was the best option

Way classier than that ;) ! It's a colour that was done on a b7 recently and everyone raved about it but seeing as its been done on that other car we're adding a pearl effect into the mix to be completely different! My b5 is done in the same colour but without the pearl. Interior I want to look completely oem so no mad colours just black with some contrasting stritching and plenty of alcantara! I've been speaking to Jules as he's a wheel whore and I think I'm using his contact to make me some one off wheels, nills has a stunning set of forged wheels but I think I want to put my own stamp on the wheels
