gonna stick an abd bottom end on in the next couple of weeks if i have time and golf afm. thats about it for now :) josh might give u a call if i get stuck doing the abd if thats cool haha

Looks really nice man, I imagine with a good mop and polish, and with the bumpers and arches tended to this would look smart as fuck.

The 'Rado seats look like they sit fairly high, how do they compare to the originals? Not that I own a MK3, but it's the next car and I really like the look of 'Rado seats in a Coupe.

cheers mate, yeah i keep meaning to give it a good polish and back to black but struggling to find time at the moment ha.

they actually sit alot lower than the normal mk3 seats, thats the main reason i got them as i always hit my head on the roof when going over bumps and I'm only about 6 foot! they are also waay more comfy so worth getting them imo. only problem is the corrado rear seats are too narrow so dont fit straight in.

how did you tint your indi's? :)

i just took them off and sprayed black paint into the bulb hole :) light still shines through fine if u dont do it to thick.

looking nice now man, yeah give me a call if u get stuckys, u just need to tint you are headlights now to match the indis :)

Ahh fair enough man, as I say I'm not used to MK3 interiors yet, so that explains me chatting shit. :lol:
