Hey there,

Any update on mounting your rear fenders? You said you were going to try and squeeze 4cm fenders over those wheels. Are the fenders shown above the ones you were talking about?

Sorry for the very late answer, I am very busy nowadays. Yes, you can see the fender above I was referring to. Left one didn't turn out well, now it has a completely different shape, it have to be done again..no sense to try it on

I worked 2 days on the car, first day was about the headliner. First, I used some dynamat-style stuff for noise reduction.





It is the TMI aftermarket product, a bit oversized, but ok for the price.






Cutting the sunroof

After the headliner, the windows, rubbers and scrapers were put in place. Trims are genuine aluminium and not the common aluminium look-a-like plastic ones. Hope they will last for years.





Wiring is almost done, still waiting for some gauges to complete the dash.



Finally the Tarox calipers are installed with spacers, pads and brake lines. I had a little issue with the spacer that was included in the kit. The pads didn't allowed them to fit well so some machining was required. Not a big deal but surprising in case of such a nice and expensive kit, that should be 100% plug and play. Can't find the pics of this, but will upload asap.




Fills out nicely the 16" wheel but not too fancy from outside.

Worked an other weekend on the car..

installed 4 of the 6 gauges



as well as the Bug-Tech shifter




Shift knob looks good on it. The same logo can be found in centre of my steering wheel.

Having access to the battery area and back seats is not easy if you have bucket seats. These mounts are based on a Weichers frame (oiginally for Opel Corsa A) that required some fabrication to fit.




Aluminium strut brace



Fuel system (still missing some clamps)
