Now when i got the car it was dam dirty,the paint looked and felt as if it had never been looked after in its life so decided to give it a dam good clean.

these cars have vinyl on the roof trim and this was all ripped and pealed off so got some black vinyl and re wrapped these.

i decided it would look a hell of a lot better and cleaner without the rub strips on the sides of the car so set about removing these and then mopped the whole car.

i then got hold of some 17" kei wheels in black,and lowered the car about 35-40mm on mk4 golf rear coilovers and cut a coil off the fronts.
also added some small arch extensions that i wrapped and wrapped the spoiler to match,and sprayed the skirts white to match the car

and thats how the car sits atm.

ive got to rolled the arch under the arch extensions and fit my spacers front and rear to bring the wheels out and finish off the big front splitter and get that fitted within the next 2 weeks before fast show.

yeah the cars rough,its not to everyones taste but then again i dont care,i did these mods cus i wanted to.so comments good or bad im not fussed.
