Well done rich your car looks incredible  :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:
I personaly like the front grill and i think if you black out vw emblem it will look even better and i don't think you should change it... :happy2:
Keep up good work and i know the empty wallet feeling rich...... :sad1:

BUT............ its all worth it in the end.... :drinking:

Mate, lovin' it.

I actually like the front grille the way it is on your car. Someone else did it like that too.

Still think you need some hot rims like those in the pic above. Would look simply awesome.

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

WOW!!!! - I really thought I wasn't going to like those wheel arches one little bit! How wrong was I !!

I think you want some performance and handling mods to go with that look - Not fart arsing around with tints.

....Looks very good indeed, but don't spoil the handling by slamming it too low.

[Thinks to myself: I wonder if VWR still have those 19's they offered me - Would go well if I copied Rich's idea and did big wheel arches]

Its definately going to be lowered a further 40-50 mil at the back...


About 20 mil further at the front....


I go on holiday tommorrow for a week... so it should all be done when i get back... en will post further pictures...  :jumpmove:


Its taken 3 weeks to do... the rear arches required a lot of work to get them smooth and looking right etc...

Looks very nice Rich.. only thing I would change - along with the alloys - is the front splitter which looks a bit too tame in contrast to the rest of the car. An Ed30 splitter would look better and still be subtle, unless you want to put in something like the VWR front splitter.  Also, I think the front grill looks fine  :happy2:

illyun - there isn't a front splitter on... the front bumper is completely 1 item.... if that makes sense ?
