Pimping Germanic stance philius

always loved that car, looks like a 70mm drop front is niiiiiice

love the car matey, propa hard stance, lovin the wheels.

I'd love to piss on phil's parade!

hoho, I bet that one's been done before.

Should get some factory tinted windows on the go. Would suit the colour of the car.

looking real tasty matey..

oh yeah..

how did you/ where did you get the tinted front indicators?

Feel free to piss on parade anytime you like chris, but only if I can drop the kids off on your rear dish

Cheers for the comments, indicators are just spray tinted, I need to do them again, but a different way.

The wheels will be going on the mk1 soon, got this running on 4.5J steels atm

Cant be arsed with tinted windows, pain in the minge trying to find a set without another cars numberplate on them...

I think I need to put some 14s on the mk3. My drive has flattened the bottom half of the exhaust with the msw's. Its alright with the steelies...

Man you know i love your Parade...

...But i love your MSW's MORE!

I've got better than msw's coming now....

You fu*ker.. what u got?

Looking good, you know it wants to be an M-reg G :-)

Saw another parade that colour not long ago. It was an L-plater though.

Bought some Melbers...

I dont think the shells good enough tbh, and after putting in all the work for the gt, I cant really be arsed to put the G in it!

Almost decided on putting it in a mk2. Gonna sort the mk1 out first, then worry about it. Might resort to putting it in the mk3.

If the car was mint then I would. In fact if my other mk1 didnt get written off by that polish bastid, it would probably be a G now...

If anyone see one in the same colour, hunt it down, see if its mint, and hassle to owner to sell it! :-D

Nice car dude how have you got it so light?

Rad! This car really pimps. Love the stance although I did prefer the MSWs.

Can't believe you took off the Parade sticker! Haha, it actually worked I thought

How about gettin' a Parade GT sticker made up in the same style?

Real nice. Love the Borbets on it.

Karl.

this car is fast, lovin it philj

Cheers. Sold it now. Neale on here owns it.

yes it is fast when its working hahah

She works lovely.

Back in my ownership now.... :-D

The Parade stickers were cool as

I love the amount of wheels this car has donned in its short lifetime!

The PLS are blatantly head and shoulders above the rest but the Melbers are also bloody nice.

THESE RIMS ARE P - I - M - P

Any colour coding / phil j insert plans?

Yeh the pls are by far the nicest out the lot. The melbers may be making a reappearance soon. They are all refurbed, black detailed, and diamond cut since the pics in here.

Dave, not gonna colour code the inserts as the wheels are for the Mk2. Running the powertechs at the mo.
