First i got rid of the grill and got a debadged one.

Then changed the rear lights for M3 Style with a smoked top half.

and recently got some Mk4 style headlights

Don't think thats meant to be sarcastic, they look good. Why not follow the theme with the front indicators/fogs and side repeaters? :smiley:
Title: Re: MK3 Update, First Car !
Post by: Amzy-Bear on 08 May 2009, 23:59
it just because of the laughing smile i thought he was joking lol
yh i think im going to get crystal fogs to match the headlights, then ill get crystal side repeaters.
and probs try and swap my rear ones for the same but without smoked.
Title: Re: MK3 Update, First Car !
Post by: OakeyDoak16v on 09 May 2009, 01:02
Yes and no.
Yes, crystal smoked fronts and repeaters and no, keep the crystal smoked rears. Get some vr6 bbs rims ftw!! :smiley:

It looks so much better than when you first bought it, Nice one. Just out of curiosity can i ask why you stuck 45's on the rims when 50's would have been the proper size and a lot cheaper and still cleared the arches no worries?

They are the tyres that came on the alloys when i bought them a few weeks back so not my choice. and thanks 4 the comment :)
