Still waiting! wtf! Jus go in the car park and do your own show. Seems the way. Can't help but think some shows are about who you know rather than what you bring. Could be wrong but certainly some going on. Yours is show worthy pure and simple. So clean.

I got my wheels refurbed n baby blue'd, and there sitting in the garage. cba to drive around and get them scratched on day 1, especially as the golf is a daily drive atm.

That's the one I there is a lip that run s across the top of the splitter that slots into your
Bumper the lip is to wide so all u do is get a Stanley knife and cut it away until it fits

Thanks josh! May have to get one!

Looks spot on mate

Loving the rear end on it

[GTI-Ross]

think the interior would give me headache away a few hours, one good point its very unique 

[estorilben]

Mate firstly your car is looking ace! But more than anything I absolutely love your rims , I know they're reps, but still look the mutts..... Can I ask where you got them, and if you don't mind sharing, how much they set you back??

Also, is the GTI rear end just a straight swap?

Good work tho mate, it's coming on really well!!
