Amazing project
« on: November 23, 2008, 11:22:24 pm »
I remember reading this ages back and have just stumbled across it again.
It has to be one of the best Mk5 threads ever.
If you have seen it before, just dont read it.  :P .

Well you've got to take your hat of to the guy, but doing those sort of mods to such a new car?


Really liked those tartan Recaros though.

Very impressive stuff - good find!

Don't really like his theory of relocation relocation relocation. He seems to think that he can relocate everything! But I wonder if there will be any side-effects in the long term.

Looking forward to seeing it when it's finished though !

Some serious work going down there. It certainly will be one of a kind! Could not bring myself to do that to do that to a new car. Very brave! It will look awesome when it is all done  :jumpmove:

If they did that with most of the vortex threads it would shrink to about a 1/4 of the size it is now :laugh:

Lovely!

Why do the arches stick out so much infront and behind the wheels?? Are they smaller wheels? I just can't put my finger on it!
