first of all i had a set of xxr 527 from my mk1 leon reli wanted them to fit but the offset was way to much


so got rid of them and spent to money on a BCS r32 style turbo back exhaust


exhaust is just a work of art

also manged to score a USA r32 bumper already in the right colour

Welcome Dean! Car looks great - the front brakes look huuge - guess they are Porsche 18ZL's or something? Are you running spacers?

Looks like you've managed to get most of the scratches out.

What polisher are your using and products?

I've also got a red Ed 30.

I know I am probably bias but when the tornado red is cleaned and polished they look awesome!
