IMO pigeon holeing a "style" is counter productive.

I like what I like and I dont care what style it supposedly conforms to!

Yeah thats true i guess- just find it funny how all the things i like come under then 'euro style'  idea hence my post lol, just wanted to see some examples etc, i really want some 18" chrome deep dish rims but there going to have a killer price tag on them! lolwill eventually get around to them though! :grin:

What do people prefere? hidden exhausts? or exposed? ive heard its a very 'euro style' thing to have hidden exhausts IMO im not 100% sure what i prefere! lol i think the R32 style exhausts look the tits, but as mine isnt one and i dont want to piss about too much with pipe work im thinking of getting a new back box thats is twin pipes, shouldnt cost me too much..but then im not sure whether to go with that and have the nice sound but keep them hidden behind bumper or get a bumper with cut out and expose the tips.. hmmm decisions lol! :laugh:

The idea of a hidden exhaust has given me a idea actually  :cool:

Also talking about exhausts theres a mk2 golf at the local halfords with a side exit exhaust but it looks like the standard pipe aswell ROFL

i'm quite tempted by a side exit exhaust so it stops knocking on the rear beam

I've got a MK1, it's fairly heavily modified, it's:
- got bonrath aftermarket colour coded bumpers
- been debadged & smoothed all over
- trim has been removed, filled & smoothed
- lightly tinted windows all round
- no rear windscreen wiper (smoothed)
- single wiper conversion on front windscreen (smoothed)
- aerial & aerial hole removed @ smoothed
- custom rear center aerial installed
- 5-6 " Single exhaust pipe @ rear (like suburu)

as for the wheels it's running on: 15" 8J Viper Rials with 195/50 Toyo Proxes T1-Rs all round, it did have TSW Stealths (7.5J) so it started abit euro.. but now i'm not quite sure what it is.. but at the end of the day I like it. It sounds nice, it drives nice, and it looks bloody fantastic i think.

I think the euro style is great. Its kinda been the influence in the changes Iv made to my mk3. low and smooth with deep shiny wheels. I i thought Id be keepin it longer Id have gone a lot further with it.

Thing is, its your car and your the one who has to walk up to it and say thats mine. If you like the euro styling then go for it!

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:
