MGallop's build thread.

Not as fun as some of my friends on here, but at least a place that i can share my progress with my fellow 1'ers.

Started off in the VW scene and always wanted to get the baddest VW out there at the time. Was finally financially able to get it, and it was love, love, love...

2004 r32

Then I see a modded 1 series on the road and it was love, love, love...
I knew this was going to be my next car no matter what it took.

Finally I was able to pull the trigger on one and then the madness began with the mods! Once you get the itch... its hard not to scratch

All stock and so in love!

Decided it was time to invest in some easy - affordable mods (tint - grills - roundels - AE's)

Then it was time for some power! - hello jb4

Then the search was on for a nice set of wheels.
I looked all over for the right choice for me, and fell in love with VMR VB3's.
It was almost impossible to get a set, so i decided to get the next best thing - CS7's. ModB's got me set up with a SICK powdercoat and it completely transformed the look of the car.

It's very hard to have wheels and not have the proper stance, so i got a hold of some ST Coils and had Sonic Motorsports hook them up. The outcome was simply perfect in my eyes.

Just in time for gtg's and drives where i got to meet some super cool guys.

-me / venom / basheezy

- Marco's car before he molested it

Time to add some more fun things to the ride!
Some say Yay, some say Nay.. but its all good.

- plasti dipped the mirrors.

- front lip

- added the diffuser and CF wing!

new lights set up

(7-13-13)

All my goodies can be found in my sig.
Will keep this post updated as the new season draws ever so close!

cooler2442 · 05-17-2013, 08:08 PM

I dig the BMS AE's, seems to match the eyelid color.

uberschnell · 05-17-2013, 09:08 PM

Gunmetal on black looks so bad ass. The drop is perfect. And I'd have never thought of doing that to the mirrors, but it really adds to the car.

MGallop · 05-29-2013, 10:51 PM

Venom · 05-29-2013, 11:18 PM

man, I thought hyper black would hide the brake dust, but I guess not.

It's still a lot better than Silver though
