*Smoothed front plate recess and shorter plates but make sure they follow the legality if you do this.
*LED puddle lights look nice if you fancy that but beware its a chunk of money to throw at them but i suppose you do get   heated wing mirrors too so may be your cup of tea.
*ED30 front splitter.
*LED rear plate lights.
*RCD or RNS 510 headunit
*Open fog grills for more cool air if you need it

I do like them,may do it and use the sticker idea a few people i know do :) also the smooth bonnet but thats alot off money :(

*LED puddle lights look nice if you fancy that but beware its a chunk of money to throw at them but i suppose you do get   heated wing mirrors too so may be your cup of tea.
how much roughly? and i think i already have heated mirrors :/

*ED30 front splitter.
Little bit out off my price range as soon as i get the paint done,,been quoted £220 for rear bumper and side skirts and spliiter

*LED rear plate lights.
I think they look chavvy? any pictures?
 
*Open fog grills for more cool air if you need it
Got one already with carbon surround...dont know if i want the jetta ones? or keep these and paint them gloss black instead off the boring grey..

cheers for that  :drinking:

I got mine for €12 with shipping included. A couple of months later I could get a spare set for €10. Unbelievable prices...

I don't think of my car as a money investment but more as a way of enjoying myself driving it. I bought it new intended to keep it as long as I enjoyed it, not to sell it after a few years. Modding it has allowed me to enjoy it more and more. :happy2:
