Style and interior upgrades are easy, power not so.
Get looking for a good VR interior to start with :smiley:

A popular front splitter is an early vr6 splitter, which has a deeper 'chin'. Can find them for sale on eBay. Regarding a newer steering wheel look into a mk3.5 cabriolet steering wheel (mk3 golf chassis with mk4 trim bits)

The 3-spoke wheel from the 6n2 Polo is quite a nice-looking upgrade, I think.

You can run 16's on a MK3 but IMO anything bigger looks a little out of place.
There is a whole thread on every type of splitter than fits but as mentioned the VR6 'deep chin' is a popular choice.

Best place to start is lowering with a smart leather interior.

Looks clean ride mate, good luck!  :smiley:

Tinted anniversary style fogs/indicators and blanks look good.
