taking the rear boot plastic panel off and unscrewing and pulling clips from the inside.

Same here but whole inside panel comes off very easy.
M10 bolt is done in a flash you just have to be gentle with plastic clips. Click by click... They are all in good and visible places.

Before I spend another 100 or so € for BBS wheels I've done some fitment check 'coz on the end I don't want any 's**t 'appens' around ET,... But as I can see... PERFECT FITMENT! :)









But as you can see wheel gap is a killer! :)
My plan was to buy come coilovers but here in (dumb) Slovenia you need TÜV paper and as I know only KW coils had one. But I'm not paying that kind of €! No f* way!

So now I'm deciding between Tanabe DF210, Tein S-Tech, T1R S-Coil or Skunk2 519 lowering springs.

What offset (ET) are your wheels?
I have 7"x15" ET30 wheels with 195/50/15 tyres for road use and 7"x15" ET37 wheels with 195/50/15 tyres for track use. My car is lowered on -35mm progressive springs and have dialed in -1.75 degrees camber up front. As it stands, my ET30 wheels would rub the rear arches slightly if i were to lower it any more.
Are you going to get your arches rolled to provide more clearance?

I have 7"x15" ET33 and on OEM wheels are new 195/50 tires. I hope this will work together. Again our law... no poke, no tire/wheel outside fenders...

Saw your post about camber. Where did you buy a set? Guess I'll need one if I go on coilovers. LIKE YOUR THREAD! Pics, explanations,... I use to tune EG, DC rides so I'm newbie in GD wters. :)

But today I decided... I'll go D2 coilovers for sure. No rush. I have time till next season. :)

I made my own bolts for adjusting the front camber. If you want to buy some for your GD Jazz you will need Eibach Camber Bolts (part number 5.81250K).

HEKO visors and perfect fitment.






Some 3D vinyl to kill some of the silver/shiny parts in the interior.

Great job with that carbon effect vinyl. I'm surprised how neatly you applied it. Looks really good.  ;)

looking good!

I want to take that part off (rear tailgate garnish) from my GE6 but apparently you can only access it from taking the rear boot plastic panel off and unscrewing and pulling clips from the inside.

Same thing with GD. But it's so easy. You can take it on & off 24/7 and always fits 100%. :)
No like my ex EG, EK, DC,... pain in the ***! :)

Something new. My ex (bought new in 2009) wood grain Nardi bought back from my friend. 10/10 cond. only metal is not 1005 any more.


So...


Before / After


Voila! Mat brushed texture still visible but with much more fresh look.
