Nice, car looks tough. Would benefit by not having the goofy front plate placement and

having a full width rear plate. And you cannot improve upon the standard ed 30 tail light  :evilgrin:

Jesus. I thought I'd seen all of the build threads.

The calipers look really good on your motor, very good looking from the side view and a perfect stance from a look point of view, it would be a little too low for me practicality wise, looks wise spot on !

just giv either me or rab a shout when ur down m8 for a white knuckle ride!!!!  :signLOL:
adam is too scared to take a proper run in one of ours given his previous record! hes been envolved in some mad crashes! :laugh:
if ur lookin for bits giv us a shout down coz weve got bits n bobs kickin about mite be able to help u out!!!!

@tommy30, i agree with u bout the goofy front plate, i had it on the dash for a while but it seemed to catch the attention of the police a few times so i decided to put it there so that i could still get the look of the us style front grille!! any ideas of where else it could go????  :smiley:

as for the back wan we had a **** tht brought his r32 over from america n it had the small rear bumper recess looked sh*t hot man..

the r32 had a number plate plinth on the front bumper u could go for but then u wont have the smooth front look. either that or go for the evo look  :happy2:

Mckay, the thing is with having the front plate there, imo you're spoiling the look of
the car by blocking the airflow through the open grille. To me, it looks as though you're not
particularly bothered about the car's cooling ability. And the us spec short recess bumper
visually doesn't flow as good as ours does across that phat rear. Just to sweeten my plates
up a little i got my mate in the shop to reduce the overall size of the font ever so slightly,
it's subtle but it works for me.

Big stu, are you still using just the one open fog grille? I reckon you should have the pair as
they add width and aggression. A mazda stubby would be a nice touch too, goes great with
the planted look, i'm waiting for mine to arrive. And personally, i wouldn't touch the vw
badges as they help with the look i like, posh hooligan ha ha.

         What are your thoughts on the wishbones? Cheers  :happy2:
