Looks really good... what size tires you got on there? they look major low profile 35's ?

looks really mean and agreesive.. sure to get a second 'oh shoot.....' reaction when someone looks in their rearview mirror seeing you filling it :)

thanks, the wheels arent the best reps around, but from a distance they pull of the look, appreciate the comments. i find it hard to look at the car and actually  enjoy it cos im always looking for things i could do to it...

the wheels are 18's  225/40   usual size

again appreciate the comments, good photography can defo make car look better sometimes than it does in real life, cleaning and polishing helps a little too 

Looking good.

Excuse the piss take but I could resist this one...

My HELLAS are now for sale, as new lights going on, on  Sunday

80 Deliver, 75 Pickup. no offfers.

thanks 

as updated 1st post, the update

ok, so the plan for was among other things,

to fit the white line rear ARB, TT shifter, poweflex dog mount bush and US rear r32 lights, top mounts also and bearings

All but 1 is complete,    1/2 through fitting i found the whiteline kit was missing a part so never got this to fit !!!  very frustrating indeed ! cant bloody wait, still , will be calling balance motorsport and part was defo not in bag, i wished i checked before.. as usual, my kinda luck

Dog mount bush, awesome,... much tighter feel the engine when gear changing and pulling away,   vibration is much greater through dash and steering but ive heard this goes after a few thousand miles..  well worth it i reckon feel ..tight

TT shifter, ok, not a massive reduction in throw, but still better than standard, for £20,  a little mod, worth doing

US spec lights, well, different to smoked hellas (now for sale) very red, gives the car a smarter look yet still different to golfs in London even if they are common, amongst the modders here.. etc

So all in all, happy, just gaggin for the R ARB to be fitted .... DAMN IT

will be getting some pics up soon..of the lights, etc

 also cannot recomment more replacing top mounts also and bearings, mine were like half the size and i can def. feel a difference, over potholes and bumps.. this combined with the strut braces up front, dog mount, the car feels so much tighter and i can throw into corner, now just for the R arb.

got an anni spoiler at home waiting to be fitted and and sprayed,  in 2 minds since the fit doesnt convince me (bought from Dent reform) but no negative comments yet. hoping to get standard valence colour coded too..

thanks

Sounds like your making some progress then!

I can imagine how them US spec lights will look! Im regretting getting the gti ones now! I should have got the ones you have, instead i rushed into it and now im regretting it........oh well, you live and learn!

Get some pics up when you can

Yeah, The U.S. lights look good man

i was thinkin about getting some off Shaq from the clearance sale.. bit pricey tho especially as i already have the GTi rears..

Maybe if i got them, we could wear matching outfits and drive around 

U.S rears look good mate, definite improvement over the Hella's.

If i didnt already have euro GTI's i would defo snap up a pair from Shaq!

if i had an R body kit.. we could be long lost brothers... sort of

i still dont know whether wait months for a kit or just get the valence colour coded ? what you reckong (the kit is £££) 

If it's a case of 'either/or' i say get the kit-but i would say that.

It's a lot of money, but it's a one off payment that gives returns everytime you (and everyone else) looks at it.

dlaporte:

Your car looks very nice steve, am quite jelous! saw it for a bit in Tesco Purley Way but i arrived late and left early so didnt get much of a look.

cheers did we not go kfc together or did you you not join us at all ?

[homer voice] Mmmmmmmmm chhhiiiiccckkkkkeeeeennnnnn

*dribble..*

any one think an anni kit  (not fron valence) would finish my car off nicely   ???         (ideealy the r-line rear, but that aint hapening)

Nice.. Loving the wheels.

I would go for a V6 near valance with the double tip. just gives that extra bit of style to the rear

Just spotted this thread steve

Must say your car is looking very nice  top marks mate

Keep up the good work

junglisteve:

there something about the anni / v6 front valence... it just doesnt look good enough for me.. i like the standard one colour coded, but not sure if it will look odd with the rest, skirts and rear fitted with an anni kit..  anyway cant afford it for a loong loong time.. so i have plenty time to think about it, thanks for comments.

i like the anni one.. very OEM+

go with that one. !

right ive finally decided on what i want my little miss to look like,

imagine the car below to be mine,  instead of an R32 skirt, an anni skirt, it will also have an anni rear valence and spoiler. So it will looks similar to below:

this will take me a while, as wheels are rare and i need to find some dough for the kit pieces (off Dent, when hes done) and painting....

share your + and - thoughts.

I like it And should look even better with your car colour.

Are those wheels called Long Beaches? and am i right in thinking there only available stateside? Would love a set on mine but like you said uber-rare!
