Mods - before and after
« on: 15 March 2011, 20:42 »
Guys

I have been off here for a while because i wanted to come back with some results! i think I've achieved allot in the 3 months I've had my first mk4 especially as it was a bit of a shed when i got it! so far i have lowered it 35mm removed the tacky looking tints, painted the wheels black,painted the callipers red changed the window regulators and for the clincher added some LED strips i've put some pics down below - any suggestions feel free to add em!

Before  :sick: :cry:


After :grin: :smug:

Just personal taste my friend, LED's seem to suit the newer curvier cars better for some reason, which is a pain as in principal I do like LED's.  List of things you need  :wink:

US spec rear lights
Anni front and rear bumpers, and skirts
Smaller aerial
Fill the bonnet notch in

You won't regret it :afro:
