I bought the car In February 2010 so I've had it for just over a year now, this is how it looked when I got it home.

Then I bought a set of 15" Lenso Rs5's, got it on Coilovers and a few other bits.

I decided that wasn't the look I was going for though so I sold the Lenso's and ran it on steels with a few more extra bits for a while like this.

Then came the new rims - Rota Zero + Wrapped in Nankang 185/45's.

And this is the car in it's current state

Got a new picture in the sun today.

really nice shots of your car here mate :) looks quite good on the black steels really if they were banded would look really nice, although depends on what secret wheels you got coming in

Ha cheers man.

I've had these laying about for almost 2 months now waiting lol.

185/45/15 Nankang NS - 2's :-D

Ordered my wheels last night but they wont be here until Tuesday or Wednesday next week :(

However I cleaned the car today and took a few more photos.

Some of the HDR photos come out a little blurry, but that's probably because I'm not using a tripod lol.

Watch this space!

I know it needs more lows so arches are my next project :-D

Reminds me of Nath's when it was red :)

Looks good!, Lower and it will look sick!

I'll be able to go lower once I have my arches done in the future.

Took a few more pictures today.

Total win

as much as i want to like this, I'm struggling, i look at it with the wheels and i see naths car in my head and think that he did so much work to make those wheels look right on his car that i cant see past them if you get what i mean.....

good luck following a tough act, hope your up to the challenge =D

Looks schweet!

Very nice man :) you lowering it more or keeping it the same height for a bit?

Thanks man, and yeah I see what your saying.

Hopefully with enough time and work I will be able to make it work and get it sitting how I want it :-)

Looks schweet!

Cheers!

Thanks.

Yeah I'm definitely looking to lower it some more, it's just difficult for me to have it lower as I give 3 of my friends a lift to school and back everyday so it rubs like a mother lol.

I'm going to work on the arches a bit this weekend so I'll hopefully be able to stop the rubbing and maybe drop it some more

well just tell your freinds not to be so fat and walk lol

Looks sweet as I wouldn't mind seeing a slightly bigger splitter, maybe a 6n2 gti.

Yeah I definitely want one of those in the future!

They aren't a direct fit though are they?

no but its not hard to get them to fit just do measurements and cut to size its not that hard look at my car i got the new splitter from a vw golf but got it to fit

I've been toying with my arches over the weekend.

I managed to pull them out a tad, which I'm quite happy with as it seems to have stopped the rubbing.

So I'm going to drop it some more this week and roll/pull them out some more

In the meantime here are a couple random pictures.

And one of my brothers Mk4 Golf for anyone who is interested :p

got any pics of the seats

Nah I don't mate.

I think they are just standard 6n2 seats, I bought from from a guy on here.

There are actually a set for sale at the moment, lookey HERE!

a right i thought they were leathers

a right i thought they were leathers

Nope lol.

Got a new HDR shot

and two others :p

So I've dropped it some more and have been working on the arches.

Looks a lot better IMO.
