My R32 inspired Varaint

Hi Amideus

Well my Variant is a 2002, TDI, 130PD, Gloss Black, it has a R32 Look rear bumper/fender from SRS-TEC.DE
The front bumper is smoothed with a reiger valance, but i hoping change it soon for a R32 front
Its on Jamex coilvers and standard steel wheels, until i can afford some R reps
Cheers Dave

Welcome! Nice wheels you have, I have same kind of winter wheels

Are those tail lights modded or do you have fog lights on?

In Finland its illegal to have two foglights. Someone might think that you´re braking....
Still, new Audi´s have two foglights, and the other one can´t be removed....

Finland is Finland...

My car is import from germany and I did just remember that I have take off the right rear fog light bulb.

Rat style wheels Popular in Finland also

It would be awesome to see totally R32-look Variant! You are damn close to it!

Looks nice, keep up the good work!

Thanks Guys

My rims are crapy steel wheels, at the moment !!
I have modified the rear lights, the top and bottom of the lights (as in pic) are stop/light lights and the fog is now in the middle, were the old side light was !

Thanks for the warm welcome, more progess soon

Dave

If middle of the light is now fog, where is indicator?

Nice plans Dave....

I remember i have seen a picture of R32- replica Variant somewhere, maybe at vwvortex?.

Lester has got very reasonable priced R-line replica sideskirts:

http://www.lester.it/uk/catalogo_articolo.asp?id=2820, made in ABS- plastic

Finnish retail price 190€ /pair ! So no need to go fiberglass parts.

(By the way, for the finnish readers: those Lester parts are also available from Slamit...)

I´m a deep fan of subtle tuning, and creating a fictional model, which VW could have produced is a good idea. Just put the orginal front grill back.

No sorry, i did'nt explain myself very well

The top and bottom parts of the lense are stop/light lights, the lower OE tail light is now the fog and the indicator, remains the same !

I've also modified the rear lights by tinting the lense's, to resemble the stock GTI hatchback version !!
Small vid here: Light mod
Kiitos Dave

Just curious, is this kind of modification legal in UK?

I think so ??
Not had any problems with the law as yet

Do you guys have to keep all the certificate's, for each modification you do, like in germany ??

Also quick picture update

Kiitos Dave

Nice looking car... Too bad your steering wheel is on the wrong side

And yes I think in Finland we have to have those certificates of all the modifications you have done to your car. If you want to play safe that is... You don't know when you might need those papers... Don't if those certificates are required by law...

Nice looking car

I've also just found a picture of my old MK3 Variant (Photoshopped) & My old A4 Avant





Kiitos Dave

Is that Mattig roof spoiler?

Kale wrote:Is that Mattig roof spoiler?

Hi Kale

Its by ZENDER CONCEPT (For some reason, the pic is a Mk4 hatchback?)

I got it from German eBay, because there very expensive in the uk

Hope this helps

kiitti Dave

Hmm, why the spoiler is different in Bora Variant? The ends are different?

Nope, G4 and Bora Variants have 100% same rear end....

A bit OT here

They have wrong picture there, that's from Passat 3B/G... There are some others too like Golf Variants spoiler pic. G4 variant should have rear side windows? Not in the picture anyway.

I Should have some new pictures for you, at the weekend

R32 Aristo's & Blue Brake Caliper's

Ok Guys, as promised new picture's

Dave

Nice looking Variant you have! Blue brake calibers looks nice behind the wheels.

Nice.

Changing the steelies away makes a big difference. Now the R- Line skirts and the bumper.

By the way, here´s a G4 Vari with Mk5 R32 wheels, not bad either:

That Variant with new R32 wheels looks pretty damn good! Although almost every 19's look quite deacent on IV Variant.

I been thinking about changing my plan, and going for some ASA AR1 alloys in 19"
This is just a photoshop, but what do you think ???

Look's really nice.

Perfect!

Oh yes baby...

Very nice!!!

Grrr...

Hi Guys

Well i've bit the bullet and changed my plan's !!

New Rim's '19" Asa AR1'

That looks so good....

Not bad, not bad at all!

Front lip is only thing what doesn't get "thumbs up" from me.

Thanks for the comments Guys

I have a R32 front bumper, thats being painted as we speak, and i have it booked in at: http://www.pipewerx.com/index.html on saturday, for a rear exhaust system (twin 4" inwardly rolled tailpipes)

This is all before a big UK show on the sunday !!

Here some pic's from the weekend

Dave

Hey, now I take my words back! That "R32 Variant"-look looks quite neat!
As a chinaman would say: "Me like!"
