Been a while since I last updated the topic!
As some of you may know now, I have bought a new set of rims from Mark (CRUISN). I've heard nothing but good comments about them and it definitely gives the car an awesome look, not to mention the VW grey is quite unique and steers me clear of the typical black rims everyone tends to have at the moment (not a bad thing at all).
I personally think it matches the Atlantic Blue flawlessly and for $700, I reckon it was definitely money well spent. Not to mention I was gonna spend $540 on some new Kumho tyres anyway. I am currently on Federal Formoza FD2's and I honestly have nothing bad to say about them. Drivability is great and their is bugger all noise produced. Win-win! Managed to get a full wheel alignment as well and she's running perfectly. Here are a couple of pics after a quick wash yesterday afternoon:
If you look closely enough, you may find that I have a foglight missing from the driver's side of the car. I have finally taken the time to remove it to get it cleaned up! When I unplugged the bulb holder from it, the entire foglight was full of dirty yellow water and it seemed like everything metal inside was eaten away by rust. I did get it apart using my oven at 150° for approximately 10-15 minutes and personally I thought it was beyond repair so have been on the look out for a new one. Mark gave me a couple of links to some on eBay and I have now made a purchase. Hoping to get a second-hand one delivered next week. That ticks something that's been on the list since I purchased the car.
That pretty much sums up everything until now. I will be getting some new RDA brake discs from ICHIban soonish and will be installing my Hawk Performance Ceramics which I bought a couple of months ago too. In the meantime I think I should start selling a few things I don't need any more just to give me some more cash moneys to spend on this amazing car. New number plates will be coming in as well. I'm just deciding on whether to spend $275 + $99 per year thereafter for new ones or just $275 to get my current ones restyled...
Thanks for the read, support and help everyone has offered on my wagon so far. I couldn't ask for anything more from a lot of you!
