If you do DIY it then do make sure you cut back the orignal paint very well to give yourself a good key.
And will you strip the car and do the inside as well?

outside will be done properly, inside might not be done at all? it all just depends at the moment, it might just be getting broken

update

the car has been in the garage for the past week with a mashed wheel bearing and ball joint.

should hopefully be back today or tommorrw with the above fixed along with 3 new 195/45's that i dropped off this morning.

Then the for sale signs will be coming out, the wheels will be going white along with the badges and the grill slats back to red, then i will be enjoying it until next time it breaks 

pics to come after the weekend...

car is back from the garage, 40 quid for sorting the play in the wheel, no wheel bearing needed, replaced ball joints and 3 new tyres fitted.

i've got the love back! running sweet and no scrubbing.

the grill is currently between coats of red, keeping the badges black for the moment....

looking forward to the Big Fat Tour and Leeds VW festival now!!

pointless update....

new tyres now 195/45 all round and grill now rattled red with black badge.

just need white wheels now and i'll be happy with the exterior for a bit....... other ideas are joey mod and tint lights and passat duckbill splitter?  and maybe cl, all reds or red black reds for the rear???

need to sort some mdf mounting plates for my front comps and get them amped up and maybe source the black interior bits, would also like a lupo wheel and mk4 knob for the cockpit.
 




let me know what you think....

Looks good, white wheels cool, maybe space them out a bit.

Lights red black red 

tint film on all lighting up front?

white wheels for sure but i like them well tucked in  maybe 10mm all round max?

red black red are rare as rocking horse poo, might look into diying.... but they would be my 1st choice

i dont know if tinted lights and fogs etc would work with the white wheels??? could always peel it off i guess?

I think tinted lights work with almost any car to be honest. when you said red black red for the rears I assumed you'd be DIYing it.

I'm the same as you don't want to go mad with spacing but I reckon i'll pop my rears out by 10mm as there's space for it.  Can't really do anything at the front unless I change wheels,.

[mellow yellow]

yeah i prefer the down and in look to the down and out....

poke and stretch isnt my cup of tea, not on a daily beater anyway.

think i'll have a little dabble on photoshop. tints up front and red black red rears with white wheels.
