Thats looking good, some bigger brakes up front to fill the alloys up would look good  :happy2:nice set of R32 would do the trick.

where did you purchase the wheels from if you don't mind me asking

I bought the wheels off a friend who bought them new and didnt use them, so bought them off him and painted them black.

Love that! Looks really nice..

I would say try and go lower though if you can, and space out the wheels a little more to make the most of the stretch your running with the tyres.. I think those couple of bits would really make it pop!

Good work!  :happy2:

Cheers jonny, i would love to go lower, and space the wheels out but roads are really poor round here, and my last car was properly slammed and became undriveable, but i loved the look so much i didnt want to raise it and ended up selling it.

At the moment i can drive the car as meant to be and not worry about anything going wrong or the car hitting the floor!

I would like to space the backs a tad to match the fronts if i keep it.....

Thats looking good, some bigger brakes up front to fill the alloys up would look good  :happy2:nice set of R32 would do the trick.

Thanks mate, if i keep the car, bigger brake will be coming, and stock brake are rubbish!

Thanks for the comments everyone....bit shocked by the response!

Really appreciate all the comments, hopefully i can figure a way to keep it and carry on with the mods  :evilgrin:

Thanks all...

Was lowered on H&R coilovers. The rear badge was a later year badge split and painted, fitted fine.

Car was put back to stock and sold October 2009...wish I never sold it but went traveling.

Back now and want another GTI!
