You can quad lights from many places.

Including VW

Or try ebay

Needs a couple of things done to it e.g. new back-box, new front fogs and and i'm going for a twin head light conversion.

Right guys, whats your oppinion, has it been lowered or not?

nice wheels sym are they 15s or bigger. Looking at your pictures i would say not on the lowering. Like the leather interior but not sure on all the red. looking at the pics has it got coloured dials.

Think im right in saying the alloys are VR6 alloys 15 inch.

The dials are white which i think are standard for the colour concept, as is the all the red leather in the interior.

They look like stanfard gti alloys to me, like the ones i have on my 16v

And i would say no to it being lowered.  To much room in the arches for it to have been lowered, but i would recomend you getting it done tho, but go for a springs and shock set not just the springs.
