What have you done to your P5 today?

[Matt V]

I might be able to but they're going to the new owner of the MZ3 wheels so it doesn't really matter.

Finally got my front motor mount out of the car, new on is in and the "clank" sound when I take off is gone...

Turns out I took the nuts off the bottom of the front mount, and never put them back on. This was causing the noise, I have no idea where those nuts went, but thank goodness work had some that I could use.

Matt-

The wheels look good. Always love the FDs! And I'm a 215s man myself...wider is better!

Just to double check,
I dont have to do any heavy modifications to add on the MSP lip right?

Thansk!

aside from having to remove your fog lights and brackets no it bolts and sticks right up

 

[turbine50]

I hope it comes with the fog light covers lol but that might be asking too much lol

They are separate... only $21 tho

My lip comes out of the paint shop early next week. Pics to follow...

Epic fail. Sorry man, that's a HUGE disappointment!

 

[Salmon_Rob]

at least she won't make the mistake again where she went. right?

 

[HKPRO5]

haha. She was pretty cute tho...lol So now its buy a new lip or repair the Autoexe one. =(

 

[Salmon_Rob]

do you know a body shop guy?

 

[HKPRO5]

Im going to do the repairs. I did it when i first got the lip. (which was already F'ed, then I repaired it back to 100%) Now its at like 30% lol

 

[Salmon_Rob]

do you know how to is it called plastic weld? or fiberglass weld or whatever? thats what the body shop is going to do to my oe lip

 

[sethro_GT]

If you could see them in person you would see that they are darker than the standard silver. I really like how they came out though.

May want to hit that with some clearcoat, or was it wheel paint?

 

[Matt V]

The wheels have 2 medium coats of clear on them.

I've also decided to go with 225/45 tires on the FD wheels, go big or go home.

 

[HKPRO5]

hmm fiberglass weld?

 

[Matt V]

HK, do you think 225/45 is too big for the FD wheels? I would get 215/45 but they only have them in ultra performance summer from what I can find on Tire Rack, DiscountTire, etc.
