My Jetta, commonly known as Princess Sparkle, has had a lot of work done to her! My man has posted already, but I felt that I needed to add to the conversation, seeing as she is my car!!!
She has been ‘touched’ by The Baron in the barn…Here is a list of the things that ‘The Dub Baron’ has changed:
o 1.3 Petrol engine to a 1.6td
o four speed gear box to a five speed
o New exhaust
o She’s on coilovers, and lowered to about 30mm
o She has had power steering put in
I have put a new bonnet on with many many stickers! However, any donations of cool stickers, or suggestions, would be fantastic!!!
I am planning on getting some 13” BBS RM’s…I’m not sure if they go down that low…they’d be my ‘show wheels’, I don’t trust myself to have them on the car all of the time! I am quite bad at driving into curbs etc…
I have GTI seats in my Jetta, but I am swapping to a normal back seat, and giving my GTI back seat to The Baron for the MK2 GTI, as that has a ripped back seat. Anyways… the seats are getting re-upholstered to add to the groovyness.
I have to seal up the pop up sunroof, as any sign of rain and the rubber seals give in. It’s actually like a monsoon inside my car! At one point last week the little pocket of the drivers’ side door was full of water where the sunroof had leaked, then the water had run down my arm and into the door pocket! How annoying!
The Princess also has custom sun visors, designed by ‘Powered By Fondant Fancy’. They are quite cool, with a flowery pattern on. The steering wheel is going to be the same pattern eventually.
I will put up many many more pictures as Princess Sparkle progresses through her new look!
I love my car, it’s my baby and I am so happy to drive her!!! She has made an appearance at FenDubbers, last week, Friday 30th April 2010. Everyone that I spoke to seemed to think that she was rather cool!
