With the car currently sat in the body shop having lots of panels ripped off for lighter items, its the ideal time to get everything done that could possibly be!!

Conversation started off with the idea of having the door handles colour coded, but now progressed to thinking about changing the doors for MK6 doors.

also looked into getting the smaller wing mirors if i kept my doors, would it bother you (if knowing my car) if the wing mirrors wernt electric?

thoughts on the above!?

 

Why wouldn't you have the mirrors electric?

With regard to the rest, it's a bit like asking someone to pick a girl for them to date - might not be to your taste - especially if you ended up with Franco .

 

i saw you had posted and knew it would be something silly.

predictable..... Maybe

because i can get a brand new set of the small mirrors for a very good price but its been led to believe that they arnt electric ones.


also, i thought you were already dating Franco

 

I'd pimp him out to you if you like?

 

Hi Kelv

Why mk6 doors mate. Is there a weight advantage there or something else??
Dont you start me off again!!

 

the mirrors wouldnt be a major prob not being electric really.as the car isnt an everyday car.but is it worth the extra hassle and price to fit mk6 doors just for handle design?

you are a nightmare kelv,that 6 weeks is more 10 now

 

no major weight saving Dave, would more be for the door handle shape, and id cut out the door as much as possible - just keeping the minimal as possible.

Neil, i know mate - everyday my own goal posts change

 

well stop it then! you are making more work than you need matey

 

I think I would ! - Its another neat little touch that to the untrained eye isn't noticable, but helps to show the overal thought put into your car mate!

 

Agree
You're going with the WRC look arent you? Didnt the WRC cars have these doors?
And dont listen to Mike, why do you need electic mirrors? Its not like youre going to be adjusting mirrors all day long?
I've got manual mirrors, adjusted them once, done!

 

Just buy a set of Mk6 electric wing mirrors and STOP FUCKING ABOUT WITH IT! Whose going to be looking at your door handles on track! GIBBON!

Jeez your starting to sound like Ripley!

 

Use the MK6 ones, massive improvement in the looks of the doorhandles!

 

I like the Mk6 handle looks

 

Thought the Grp A/WRC cars ran small square shaped stubby mirrors?

Kelv, if your going for weight saving options then why have a heavy electric motor just for electric wing mirrors mate?

For looks only, I wouldn't bother, just get on and finish it and keep it light as possible, i'd personally have keep fit windows and sliders in perspex too mate

 

rears windows are perspex.

mirrors i can get for Ł20 for the pair none electric - so hardly worth spending years hunting for a set of electric ones or spending a small fortune.

Kind of WRC, front wings only as always wanted the bubble arch's so they are being fitted today, whale tail has been decided on as being left in the garage - lower spoiler only and carbon wolf now!!

just thinking of the MK6 doors for that little touch, if a set can be found easy enough, but heading to the breakers in a mo, been tipped off that theres a GTi up there with heavy rear damage!


Jase, the cars gone from a light front end blow over to new panels and full respray (all bar the roof) so may aswell get these touches done now

inside, front bumper, head light surrounds, grill and washer jet blanks are already painted.

whats a set of front wings sell for?

 

I didnt find it hard locating a set of electric ones, remind me to slap you about the head Sunday!

 

Yes gladly, i really look forward to it

 

ooh touchy!

 

Do it Kelv, iirc Stoo has mk6 doors & they look so much nicer

 

The last of the motorsport shells came with MK6 doors and they do look better IMO.

Mark

 

if i can find a set in time then they will be going on.
few set backs with the car today - bloomin' thing

but on a better note, all the cars wiring loom is now re-directed and hidden, floor looks so much better without any wiring across it

Jase - touchy about what?

 

yeah the roll eyes!



Touchy!

 

 

When you modify Mk6 doorcards they fit better with rollcages
They look so much better too....

 

that does look very neat actually Chris

 

I've been thinking the same about the elec mirrors or not and would it bother me and I still can't decide even though I never move them

I decided the other night fuck it get the elec as they are heated too but the manual's are so easy to get for Ł20 I think I'm gonna buy the manuals for as cheap as poss and see how it goes.

 

I think I would fit the MK6 doors, its not like your interested in origionality and the handles and door cards look better, as for the mirrors how often do you use the electric adjustment now?

 

My Mk6 electric mirrors only cost me 40.00 delivered..............

They're not that hard to find lads!

(Chris's doorcards do look good though!)

 

I have to have electric, as the missus drives mine!

Short arse bitch!

 

you dont even drive yours you liar

 

Trev, i was thinking the same!

 

Sorry I should of said PAST TENSE!


I just sit in it and make broom broom noises now!

 

I want the black plastic finish which are a little bit harder to get unless new

 

ill let you give me a demonstration of that tomorrow jase - you can do it after youve slapped me round the head.

Dan, ill keep an eye out for you along my hunting journey mate.
