Nice plans. All red really suits the Calypso Green I think!

yeah fits straight on got some mk1 golf bumper hole plugs that fit so just gonna plug the old mount holes.

painting it satin black might crackle paint it.

paint for now till i split em. very roughly done in an hour :) dishes still need polishing.

only doing the rear bumper as a mk2 leaving the front as a mk3 bumper just running a 6n splitter. you can get blanks on crazyquiffs but there like 2.50 each :0

rears are easy to do but the front never looks good tried and failed more than once

yeah just grommets i mean you might be able to get some universal plugs to fit but i know these mk1 golf ones fit.

wheels are up for sale now just bought another set i had to get! in for sale thread

newman 268 degree cams on the way :)

Looking good mate, can't wait to see the wheels on it! Wouldn't you need a ml2 saloon rear bumper rather than the coupe as it's a bit longer like the ones already on the mk3?

Can jus get gromets from halfords too :)

schmidtz now gone as I'm saving for a vintage bug :)

got fuchs to go on the rear as they were cheap as chips: and some moondiscs i had up front. mismatched i know but I'm on a hella budget cz the bug funds getting all my attention :) 80mm will be on this week too more pics to follow!!!

i hope not!! haha was for sale on here for a while but i changed my mind :) ill go for a scan :s

been slow getting stuff done but some small updates, this is just my daily so mosly random mods :)

all red rears:

engine cover just need a gt badge to cover the 1.0: and relocated washer zippy style!

6n cover to go on after i polish it:

steelies for the front and my moon discs and 155/55/14 tyres with fuch's on the rear with 165/50/15's

80mm suspension kit:

Roof bars just need to cut the ends off:

my mooneyes shifter thats been in all 9 cars I've had so far :)

cool mate, you could use the same idea as this car with a caddy, it could possibly work better!!!

Edited 25 September, 201114 yr by thebreadmaker
