Couple of updates. Fitted my R32 rear lights and new plate today.
Halfway

And done

This is an essential mod IMO.
Also fitted, MTec bulbs, a Porsche coolant cap, waiting for smoked indicators.
Monzas and standard ride height are killing me!
Can't wait to get new wheels and lowered!

Fitted Mtec dipped and LED sidelights today. No pics, tho.
Not overly impressed by the Mtec H7s too be honest, certainly a lot whiter light but not much better visibility.

Ooof! Nice seats. :notworthy: Are those OEM leather Recaro's? I've only seen the interlagos Recaros before and they're rare.

Cheers, mate. Yeah, OEM heated leather recaros. One of the deciding factors of me buying the car.

Great seats!
The rear lights totally transform the look!

Do red vw's suffer the same fade issues as fords/vauxhalls?
I've not seen many faded vw's but presume they are just looked after better!

Actually I don't think I've seen faded mk4s or mk5s. Can understand a mk2 going as I presume paint technology has moved a lot since then - although I've seen some shockingly faded 09 red corsas - vauxhall need to up their game!

New wheels time! Badly needs lowered now!
Need some VW centres too.

nice seats.

not a fan of the wheels personally.

Agree on the r32 lights though. especially on a red car. makes a huge difference
