Whoa!! The back looks so much better now! Yer not sure about the numberplate placement either but it probably looks good when it's on! Are you getting a wiper blank? Would look even better with that to finish the rear off :D

I was suprised to at how much it changed the rear, just gotta get the solenoid to open the boot and GTI spoiler light all wired in and working, got a standard wiper blank on now just gotta get a grommit to fill the hole :p, tbh i quite like the number plate placement but thats me ahah

Also before anyone says the rear is a different colour that is correct eventually will be all the same colour as the rear Flash red with a slight perlescent pink ;)

Had camber shims fitted and camber bolts fitted also all the tracking done at the same time so driving nicely but still got a bit of rubbing on the back so getting the arch's pulled at the weekend to sort that :)

Looking good bud :)

Only thing i don't like is the bad boy bonnet, however i never have liked them so don't take it personally ;)

also the rear looks much better now too, wasn't too keen on the smoothed boot before but actually looks alright! heh

looks good how much money have you spent so far?

worked out the other day iv spent about £600 on parts and then wheels were £600

I would say iv done it pretty cheap as iv always got stuff second hand for good prices

Looks a lot better from the rear now :thumbsup:
