Well bought the car approx 3 years ago from yorkshire with 58000 on clock and some really bad rs4 wheels. Apart from that was standard. Please note started build thread long after had the car so pictures may not be in order lol try my best tho lol
First mods where some Mk5 gti replica wheels.
(http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/ee348/jonnyturbo2001/15032008138.jpg)
Next was to lower it and some weitec 50mm lowering springs where purchased as to avoid the monster truck look lol. And also got the windows tinted.

Then i thourt i wanted something to smarten the front end up so i got myself a metal badboy bonnet extension and my cousin at Hetton body repair centre sorted that out for me . Also had the windows tinted along with a sun strip

Also got my self a Genuine R32 front bumper for peanuts to lol so that was fitted prior to respray. New front badgeless grill aswell as other one had crack in lol. Same FK one as before as quality is good.

Next i needed to make the decison to Order a discreet Milltek rear box or get my 4mo milltek chopped at the back. Or Cut the Rline rear valance. I went down the cut the milltek route. So went to a local stainless steel specialist and they sorted my rear box out ready for my new Rline rear bumper. Here are the results of the work that was carried out. Really pleased with the work.
Milltek tips cut off :cry:
