« on: May 14, 2009, 06:39:26 pm »

Anyhoo here it is :

















I suppose I better mention what's on the car:

Bi-Xenons
Highline computer
Cruise Control
Multifunction steering wheel
VW Alarm
18" Monzas (or as they are known here Detroits).

JewelUltra DiamondBrite paint treatment.

Aftermarket
Superchips Bluefin - Stage 2

Is it wrong I think it looks better with a yellow plate than a white one we have in the UK?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Looking great but your steering wheel is on the wrong side  :laugh:

Those calipers look good behind the monza, can't wait to see your new alloys!

Interesting goodies for me in boxes


Old wheels coming off


Gratuitous brake shot










Changed the colour of the emblem.. now it looks just like my old Mk2 GTI big bumper did (which was also black with BBS wheels)







This forum is a bad influence.
