My daily B5.5 loon

Post by Hughesr1 »

So I bought this car as my daily and to remain standard as I have an MR2 and a track car Elise S1 to tinker with. However it seems that I can't leave anything alone so its already undergone some light *ahem* enhancements :mrgreen:

Picked her up for £1500 with about 96k on the clock, full service history etc. Within a few days of ownership I drove her about 1500 miles to the Le Mans 24 hour race and back. Also done up as a german police car in typical pistonheads Le Mans fashion...

As everything went smoothly upon return I decided to treat her to a few things!

- Thule Roof rack and bike mount
- 6000k HID xenon lights
- New interior mats
- Full body detail with the DA machine polisher (could do with more passes really)
- Quick seat steam clean
- Full service
- 17" RS4 rep wheels with new tyres (wasnt after wheels but they were local and only £170)

Pretty happy with how she stands atm. I'de like to lower it by 40-50mm but considering its my daily it will probably just stay at stock height :D . I think it could do with some slightly bigger profile tyres but considering mine were beyond the legal tread limit and the wheels had new tyres on all for £170 I couldn't turn them down!

Cheers,
Alex
