Title: two steps closer to completion!
Post by: golfpro on 23 May 2005, 16:45
Right, bought my standard black mk3 (except for some shocking lexus lights) in april and have been busy as a beaver refining it to what it is today so here goes...

17" Bk alloys
40mil drop
vr6 bumpers (just fitted new vr6 splitter today)
25th aniversary gti interior (all seats and door cards)
momo steering wheel
toad cat1 alarm
twin exhaust
smoked m3 rears
de-badged front grill
tinted windows
colour coded calipers
wolfberg mats, pins and badges
cosmic gear knob&hand break
K&N filter

Focal polyglass fronts
clarion cd/mp3/wma head unit
genesis p4 ultra amp
vibe black air 12"
false boot floor and custom sub box

erm...

...cant think of anything else at the mo.

Its lookin really special now and im well chuffed with it, will try to get some pictures on here once i get a new digi cam.

let me know what u think, would like to change the front lights to either mk4 style or angel eye projectors. which would be best? any pics of either?

That looks loevly fella  :cool:

Mk4 lights on the front and a set of crystal indicators and fogs would set that front off a treat  :smiley:

Looks proper mint that Phil.

Question for you: how did you go about fitting the rear bench? I've got the same seats but cant figure how this will lock in. Have you converted them somehow m8?

 :cool:

just took the old one out and put the new one in exactly the same. Its come out of the same car so fittings should be exactly the same.

Glad you all like it. Recently had some rust removed from the arches to try to tidy things up a bit but think thigs are about finished for this one. Plannin for an 8v gti next!

front seats will need mk3 subframes put on them, as for the rear im not sure, u will probably need to make something to get them in there, but if in boubt, pay someone else to do it!  :wink:
