tornado red tsi
« on: May 07, 2009, 08:52:10 pm »
Dan with the sweet candy white tsi invited me over to this forum so thought id better post up.
I have the same car as dan but in red. (and not mapped  :driver: ha not yet anyway!)
mods iv done,
colour-coded gti rear valance, with gti style tailpipes.
tinted the rear lights.
smoothed the front plate recess, black/red front badge
yellow fogs








plans are to lower it 40mil, black roof and mirrors, new wheels, thinking along the lines of porsche rims... dan did 2 PS's for me



comments welcome, cheers for reading  :happy2:

I think the Porsche wheels would work if you gave them a nice grey respray.

My wheels are similar to the Turbo doglegs, but they're split rim and designed for a Merc.  I did a quick (and rather poor) photochop as I cant afford the tyres and coilovers right now, I think they suit it really well - click for a bigger pic


Keep up the good work :)
