Ok.... so it’s been a while since I’ve been active on here. Last time I was here was when I was organising a group buy for the MethodEffects front spoilers. I hope everyone that was involved with that was happy with what they got? Never saw the results of what people got from it.
If @DJAlix is still about? I might need to call upon that favour someday as I have lowered the s3 and wondering if you could recalibrate my Mag ride?
Anyways, I Thought I’d come and show off what I’ve done to my car in the last year.
Not a great deal, but a few things to spur some thoughts.
So I recently looked into a product called “Autoflex”, it’s absolutley huge in the US, and when dealing with the product in hand yourself, you can see why. In the UK it’s still a very small market, and there’s not many places applying this product yet. And those that are charge a small fortune. That said, I really understand why as the work is so extensive.
Firstly, this isn’t a start to finish build process post, that’s something I might do in the future.
But long story cut very short, me and a friend decided to invest in the equipment and provide/build the best possible environment we could put together to apply this product DIY style, and although this product is strictly for professionals, the hours, money and attention to detail payed off in the end.
Of course it would have been cheaper and quicker to have someone else do it, but between us both, we wanted to do one another’s cars, and others that are willing to pay the price of the job in the future.
Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves......
Do you like green?
Ok, the colour is bold! But the inspiration came from the limited edition Lime Green TTRS. This product combined with the tint/pigment & pearls really gives a WOW factor, and with this applied, I’m protecting my factory Ara blue from stone chips and potential vandalism from key scratchers etc.
In this picture I’m sure tons of filters were used to get it to pop like this.... but my pictures 100% speak for themselves. No filters! The colour really does just...... GREEN!!!
On another note, I’ve also lowered the car -25mm using VWR RACELINE springs, and fitted 20” genuine 10Y spoke TTS alloys.
They were stripped, powdered coated black & diamond cut.
The overall finished result speaks for itself, and I’m in love with it. Others opinions might be different as it could be considered a bit blingy, but I’m one that appreciates diamond cut wheels, and this style sings for me.
Ok, I am unable to upload a picture of these wheels fitted to the car as every picture I have is to large to upload. I’ll update this post tomorrow where hopefully I can get some pictures sorted.
