whats up guys... im from new jersey of the US just stumbled along this site while looking up some info for my car... this sites pretty nice definatly may become a regular hear beats the everyday bullsh!t from vwvortex.com... now to answer some of your questions
Very nice 
the silver pin stripe works well IMO .
Is it a VR6 conversion as I notice the 4 stud wheels also did you buy the headlamps already blacked out or did you do them yourself ? ( I've been thinking of doing the same to the Inpro Xenon angle eyes on mine but not too sure If they will dismantle easily 
)
the headlights are inpro projectors... i acually dismantled the lights myself using a heat gun and a couple panel poppers then took the rest of the light apart then had them color matched black magic pearl (same color as the car) then reassembled the light using a black silicone to enhance the smoked look on the light..
as for the hood covering up the lights... notice the 4 bar early vento badgeless grill its covering
... makes the car more apealing when the hood is open especially with the chrome accents on the lights helps follow the theme threw...
the majority of you guys are from the uk?
