    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

    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

    Yeah, The U.S. lights look good manYes

    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 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.

    What do you think about getting the Anni Kit? not as much ££ and will still look good

    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 Big Smile
