The plan is to keep it standard and probally change the wheels for a refurbed set of BBS RA's that I have. Tricky as I like the wheels on it but I was going to go full 80's. BBS styleee, I might even get a set of Mirrored Avaitors for me  :cool:

Oh and the BBS tail spoiler nearly put me off but when you see the car a whole it grows on you, fits in well with the Old Skool mods theme..

It's 1 owner from new, I'm the second, FSH etc serviced every year. This means I'm loathed to mess about with the feel of the car, I reckon best leave it as is and just enjoy it for now  :grin:

Even the plate fits in A 1.8 VW Turbo

Yeah, getting your head aroung the spoiler takes a bit of time, I used to have a 5 Door Mk2 so it did look out of place for a start.

It has grown on me though, and it def makes the car go faster I reckon it adds about 50Bhp  :rolleyes:

Nice find. :afro: Love it. :cool: I'm thinking the wheels need to be a bit more old skool.  :undecided:

I actually like the styling of it, including the rear spoiler. :lipsrsealed:

Yeah its not that bad on this car, like I said, it's fitting with the era of the rest of it, but agree, the wheels don't.  need something more spokey.
