Started to get parts in. Installed these H&R Super Sport springs yesterday. The ride is stiffer which is what I'm used to with the Jetta. Some body parts coming in this week but I'm thinking I'll wait until everything comes in and then vinyl wrap it all

I think the car looks fine, with the exception of those wheels!

These are the times where I actually like my 5-spokes better...they're very easy to clean. 14-spokes, not so much...

Ooooooh yeah I've been building this car in my head for a couple years. So it's just a matter of buying parts now haha waiting for a couple more body pieces to come in before I start wrapping it

Clay barring the car this saturday and getting it all ready to start the wrap sunday. I've got all my disassembly diy videos saved and ready to take a bunch apart. My goal is to get the whole car minus the bumpers wrapped on sunday.

The joy of blasting around with the top down far outweighs the benefits of the coupe for me at least |

Welcome to the fast side of things. I bet the 135i makes the Jetta feel slow. Ha! I'm curious to see how your build comes out this round. Low vs. performance?

Updates
So, thought I'd just use this as my "build" thread. Just a place to post updates on what's been done to the 1 so far. I've been blacking out the chrome line trim and the interior "wood", had bumper and spoiler painted/installed, front lip installed and then destroyed in 20 minutes, and just had tires mounted on the VMR

Sucks about that lip. It just sticks out way too far. I break that in 10 seconds the second I drive out of my driveway. Still looks good without it.

I'm chalking it up to my mounting it possibly incorrectly. We'll see, there's another on its way. I guess if I bust that one I'll know lol
