  :notworthy:Love Martin just needs lowering a bit for me to get rid of the gap in them arches,The rear gti badge and rabbit would come of

Great work martin.

although for me the only thing that doesnt look right is those tail lights, can't help but think the Oem 30 rear lights would look better..

but thats just my taste.. shes looking fantastic in and out .
 

would like to see the orig light in one side to compare

Been awaiting your update with the R32 rear, looks great  , hoping to get the R32 look one day! Those brake are a nice addition too! Keep up the great work!

R32 rear is a sexy rear end.

I agree with the others... OEM ED30 lights, suitably lowered, all badges gone bar the eddie one, no rear wiper and then she would look sublime

I know what you mean about the VALEO lights, love the look at nighttime of the LED's etc but if I had to choose I also prefer the look of the OEM ones.

Thanks Andy!  

I'll put the OEM Eddy ones back in over the next few days and do a side by side photo and might even put a poll up........ I may even abide by the results!

The next thing to be done will be some adjustable coilovers and probably some trick adjustable top mounts Alex was waving at me plus a few other handling bits. That should FINALLY sort that chasm of a gap!

Lovely conversion. I'm booked into BCS on the 23rd Sep for the rear end mod on my red GTI. Can't wait now!

Nice one Martin, certainly gone 'balls deep' this time!

Facts: It will look better minus the rabbit and with the ed30 tail lights. Get to it!

I actually think it would be better to remove the Edition 30 badge rather than the gti one. The twin exhausts have made the rear more symmetrical than previously, so you need a bit of asymmetry to 'please the eye'. The wiper gives asymmetry to the right and the gti badge balances that to the left. So the edition badge would go imo. If you think that's heresy you could take off the gti badge and have an unbalanced asymmetry.

I like my little Rabbit!  If I remove him, he'll have to go somewhere?

Easy £200 when I sell em then. 

[MC71]

Valeos look good on an ed30 bum, but not on the abomination you've created...
