Winter meet? Could do a local one for forum members I suppose, although last time I organised a meet no one came.  :grin:

Cheers pal, I think they suit it as well, something different to the norm (to a certain extent) but not looking forward to keeping them clean.


Looking good

Thank you. :afro:


I like the exhaust, maybe cut a bit off the joining bit so that it sits an inch or so further in? :)

Possibly, it does poke out a tad doesn't it, but it doesn't come that far out, might have to see about doing that suggestion though. Easier said than done however.

Yeah no idea how easy it would be to do, and it probably looks worse than it is in the pic! The back box I put on my mk2 stuck out too much and thats what I did to sort it out :smiley:

Looks flipping great!

Rims really suit the car and the color.

I actually like the exhaust, just looks like it could do with cleaning up :p

just had a read of this thread. really like your car.

wheels look fantastic. are they bare alloy or lacquered? are you going to run them through winter?

Thanks Alex :) they look wicked in person too!

Lewis, thanks for the compliment, the wheels are bare metal but I won't be running them during the winter, they will be coming off in a few weeks.

sensible chap. its going to be horrible taking them off just after fitting them!

i ran bare metal polidhed splits on the wife's golf last year but i was constantly having to polish them. ended up missing a few days out then gave up. by the end of the winter they had a build up of crud on them and took hours to sort out again.
