That is in unbelievable condition for 157k on the clock

Nice work. Looks awesome.

Don't diss the green. I used to think the MK4 looked crap in green, and the Bora for that matter, but seen a couple modded with smooth bumpers and they look really smart with a smoked theme on the lights all round. Some great work there bud, gonna give my MK3 a good claying tomorrow :P
-
im sure when i lower it and get some new wheels it will make the green look a lil better.

Lowering will be a sure thing to make it look better, and the wheels, well I've always hated those wheels on any MK4 too be honest, but stick some nice ones on there and it's a hit :) what wheels do you have in mind?
-
im thinking mk5 gti alloys, the diamond cut ones, was gunna go for r8s but every1 has em. Was also looking at the montreal 2s
-
Not sure the MK5 GTI one would be a good match, but then again they might do...
-
mmmmmmmm, i not sure then, what wheels would you suggest 17s or 18s i would like
-
I'm a BBS whore so naturally I would suggest the MK4 Anni wheels, but I think the MK5 Anni wheels look the nuts on MK4s, again though, because it's green, I'm not sure they would suit.

looks really good, amazing what results you can get from SRP isnt it, one of my all time favourite products (and I've used a few! :smiley:).
Hopefully mine will look as good soon!
cheers,
Chris

Srp has always been my favorite, tried loads but have always gone back. Worked in with a rotary and its even better. Always gotta make sure u seal it with wax after as its only a polish.
