Stance is perfect. Do you have an EU spec right-rear light?

Thanks lads :smile:

Matt tbh I haven't really paid any notice to them other than that they have been spray tinted in the past, I would imagine that that's why there isn't a reverse light on it if that's what your on about? They will be replaced in the next week or so anyway as I've just bought some m3 style crystals for it

Looks so fucking sick Guy

Seriously, its stunning :o

Cant get over how perfect the wheels look.

You doing anything about the bodywork? Respray or anything?

How low are you on the coils? right at the bottom or is there more to go?

There's a little more on the front but it would be just riding the bump stops then and I can't be arsed with that, it hits them on a good bump now but its still useable. There's a fair bit more left on the rears but I'm happy with how it sits and non of the wheels rub even with a boot full of tools and a full mk3 suspension setup so I'm happy :lol:

Desperately needs the exhaust adjusting tho as its hanging low in the middle and hits every thing but thats a job for the weekend. it is amusingly low tho, The other day while changing lanes a cats eye seemed to clip the bottom of the gear selector and knock it out of gear, the misses didn't find it anywhere near as amusing as I did tho :lol:

Yeah lack of reverse light, it looks like there is a LHD left-rear light cluster. I'm thinking of getting a RHD right-rear cluster for mine so I have two reverse lights as I saw that setup on a Mk3 and it tidied the rear end up nicely. No idea how to go about making the reverse light work though.

I guess you could just run a wire from the original switched live on the reverse light to switched live on the fog light on the other side (this would become you reverse light once the new cluster is on).

Only problem is that although you don't need a reverse light you do have to have a fog light

looks nice man!

Looks bangin, real low mk2s are spot on.

Yeah I was thinking that too but I don't know if I would wire it into the connector or just go straight from light to light, if that's possible and I'm sure I could fit a fog light to the bumper without too many issues.

Fully sick 8-)

You know i love it :thumbsup:

It's probably not a great pic as it was taken on my phone

Thanks for all the positive comments ladies :smile:

Leon they are for sale for 1 million dollars :wink:

Smashed the center box of the exhaust in earlier by reversing over a bit of a crest when doing a 3 point turn in a driveway earlier so got some remodeling of the system to do over the weekend

I'll just use my Nigerian bank account all I need is your bank account details.

Leaving it on mate, its not a bad system and sounds quite nice with it on and don't wanna risk making it sound shit if I take it off. Pretty much got it welded back up now but had to stop due to a hail shower.

The offending exhaust section

:lol: proper job
  • Author

Yeah didn't do a bad job on it, the car stopped dead when it twated it :lol:

Welded it up and moved the hanger so hopefully it will tuck it up in to the tunnel more, not a professional job by any means but should do the job
