Car is looking ace. small observation though, aren't you looking at an MOT failure with no side repeaters?

The repeaters are in the bumper and still on the side of the car..

Over here in N.Ireland we have MOT centres and my boss in the fire service works in one, he had a look and said they would just about pass. (think you have to stand one step to the side of the rear light and see them flash) Car pssed in Jan with them on.

Thanks sharki.

Dave I know what your saying the reason i did it was to add a bit of colour to the car, different from the whole black and sliver. If the car had been a different colour I'd held on to the sliver ones for sure. Also wanted it to stand out more to be truthful..lol

Daz you for real? never knew images from the likes of this build thread came up on google. That mk2 is just a shell now getting new under seal..lol

Fitted a black grill today think it looks better than the sliver one as i started to hate the black VW bag badge.

yes mate iam being for real was my laptop screen saver

Really like the way you have gone with this.

How has the anni splitter held up having been cut to fit the us bumper?

I really want us front and rear bumpers, with the anni kit fitted (which ive got)

Oh of course, US side markers as indicators.... cunning.

Its 100%, We used a part from another bumper to get the shape then just plastic welded the sids.

Cool.

Im looking to do this myself, looks so good

Drop me a line sure if you want to know better what way we done it and what was used when you get the bumper. I had to wait two months on it but with any luck VW should have them in stock as the brought three in with mines.

Update time, this lot came the other day from ORT in the US, The build quality is unreal definitely money well spent. Will be moving the car into the garage this w'end and the strip down re-build will start. Going to be hard lining it and fittin a different interior but it'll all have to be custom fitted so will be doing more update than I have been..
