Not updated in a while, progress has slowed a little with Xmas coming up. But I've made a couple of small updates..



....I love the way you have been modding your car so far but I'd be concerned about your rear plate being legal - It just needs a bit of space to left and right of the registration, just an inch of yellow plate showing.

X2. Pretty sure it's just the plate surround that is the problem. Which is a shame! US plate looks really good though!

....Yep, the numerals etc themselves look legal size and style, it's just the legibility aspect on the 'B' especially and slightly on the 'V'.

I know it sucks about the plate surround being a cockhair too big, but I don't want to ruin the surround by trimming it down especially as it was 70 dollars inc postage from California. Yep I'm  :stupid: haha

Do really like the look of your car. Loving the interior, especially the black head liner. Where did you get that done and how did it come out? I been wanting to do that for ages.

I had it done at a retrimmers called a.s Pickerings that's is up here in Bradford, only cost me £50 which I thought was cheap considering mj interiors wanted £200! I couldn't be happier with the result it just looks totally oem.
Be warned that the headliner is a maaajor pain in the arse to get out of the car, be prepared to swear...a lot!

Hahahahaha, yeah I believe so. Thanks for the heads up though. That was a good price I reckon.

Sooo no new updates yet as I'm seriously considering getting mkv GTI as a nice ones come up at a good price at work. Soo that leads me onto the next part of my post...to sell or strip?
A. Sell the jetta as is or
B. return the jetta to standard and chop it in against the golf
 What's everyone think? If anyone's interested in bits the give me a shout as well

The modded Jetta is far more individual and unusual than the GTI. Does the Jetta have a different engine? If so, the GTI engine will be better. Jetta = Golf + Boot.

Btw, your rear number is definitely TECHNICALLY illegal - You should have 11mm clear space each side. I doubt if you'd get stopped for it but if you got stopped for something else and/or gave attitude.......

Yeah it only has the 1.6 FSI lump in it so I'm after more power. the whole body is different inc the doors the roof profile is lower on the jetta as I found out when trying to fit pillar trims from an edition 30!
I know it's illegal but it just looks so darn cool! Lol it'll be coming off anyhow if return it to standard.
