Thank you, I'm really pleased with it  :smiley: Your car looks great, I love the alloys on it; wouldn't mind a set myself.  :wink: Yeah your right about the tints, I want it to look smart in contrast to the black without crossing over into the chavy. Thanks for the feedback, it's nice to see what the tint actually looks like on a vehicle to help give you ideas. That's defiantly changed my mind.

Nice first motor mate! Look forward to seeing it come along. Basically how mine started but mines silver!

Sure you will soon have the modding bug and the list piles up!

Cheers mate it should be good fun, I'm sure that I'll have the modding bug soon enough  :smiley:

After looking on eBay at the numerous number of stereo's available including the RCD510 that Bluebert recommended, I'm not sure if I should spend a little extra and get one with Sat Nav capabilities due to the fact that I would need to purchase one anyway otherwise. I have found an XTRONS 7" Car DVD Stereo which can be seen in the link below, although its not official VW it has so many more features than the 510 and is only a little extra. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

**UPDATE**

After spending a couple hours searching around for a set of rims I stumbled across a bargain. Although the rims were only 16" and I wanted 17" ideally, I couldn't miss out on the deal due to the fact that they also came with tyres which all had 4-5mm left on each. The alloys are BORBET XB 65650 16" with dimensions of PCD 5x112 7.5Jx17 ET45. For the £200 price that the seller was asking for I couldn't say no.  :wink: These will hopefully be a great contrast to the 30% tint on the rear and small side windows.
