Motor, ECU and wiring harness for the next beetle project has been acquired. Just have to release it from the rest of the shell.

Well an unfortunate event today has sparked an impulse buy of a bunch of parts again Was driving on the highway and saw a rather large rock flying towards my car from the opposite direction, I thought my windshield was toast (again...for the 3rd time) but thankfully the rock fell quicker than I expected and I heard a loud thump as it presumably made contact with my bumper. Unfortunately, instead of the rock hitting the large grey plastic expanse of my bumper, it hit the silver bumper garnish in the lower centre area of the bumper, creating a couple very annoying and visible deep scratches on there. Didn't want to paint it or wrap it or whatever so I purchased a new OEM one for $45 USD The existing one is slightly discoloured and dented up from 11 years and almost 300,000kms of driving anyway, so it was time for a new one.



And since the front bumper has to come off to replace the damaged bumper garnish, I figured I'd yank the headlights out at the same time which also requires bumper removal, clear the amber corners and finally get around to doing a projector retrofit

Bought the Nilight H1 projectors off Amazon which seems to get stellar reviews. $42.99 USD can't complain, especially for the supposedly awesome performance.


Amazon.com: Nilight® 2.5" MINI HID BIXENON PROJECTOR LENS FOR H1 BULB CAR GIFT:CHROME SHROUND: Automotive

Ordered a pair of H1 HID bulbs as well from VVME to replace my current H4 bi-xenons once my H1 projector retros are installed.

Going to need to locate these clear side markers as well to match my clear corners once I open up my headlights, but these are getting extremely difficult to find so gonna need to keep my eyes peeled



Also toying with the idea of sticking on an EZ lip...

UPDATE: Bought the last EZ Lip in stock at the South Surrey Cambodian Tire LOL

Could crosspost this in the "what did you just buy for you car" thread, but I guess it belongs here ultimately...

After a painstaking 4 month wait for a delayed container, my shipment from Japan arrived!

I ordered large parts off of Yahoo auctions, through Right Drive Parts in Ontario. Kept my shipping charges down by putting them in their container, but due to the LA port strike it kept getting delayed. So lame!

But now I have my parts installed: Genuine Autech 260RS front bumper, rare NA slat grille with badge removed, and Dayz rear hatch spoiler with LED brake light.

Spoiler was easy to install, had to drill a hole for the wire...but removing the old damn adhesive and polishing out the old marks from it took over 2 hours

At last, finally how I want her to look though Pretty sure I have the only Series 2 front end in Canada!

New shoes...Finally, put them on.

But didn't do alignment.
High speed felt a bit vibrating.
Going to have TSS do the alignment on Wednesday.
Hopefully, vibrating goes away.

^Did you lower the car at the same time?

Just changing the wheels shouldn't need an alignment.

If you have a vibration it sounds like a balancing issue, not alignment.

Looks legit though...

I have this question posted in another thread.
http://www.revscene.net/forums/70465...installed.html
Got the Same answer as you mentioned.

The car was lowered a month ago with Stock rims/tires.
And it is equipped with Air Suspension.
So, It was just a link adjustment to have my car lowered.
And no vibration till new rims/tires swapped.

Already booked with TSS to have a look my car on this Wednesday.
The new rims/tires were installed from different place.

Not gonna look in the other thread, but you should get an alignment for the lowering; however, I am doubtful that's your problem.

TSS has a corgi tire machine, so they can spin the wheels to make sure they are balanced. I'm almost positive they won't be, so they will probably have to balance the tires again.

Not directly for the car, but for the tools I use on it! Finally got all my sockets organized...was tired of wasting so much time looking for stuff.

Red trays are SAE, blue are metric and misc. Now for the tool chest/drawer system to put them in.

They were on sale on Amazon a couple weeks ago for $20...seems to be back to the regular $30 price at the moment.

I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar at Princess Auto, but can't for the life of me remember how much. Willing to bet it's cheaper than CT though.
