ud really need to lower the front a hair more, to cope with extra weight of the install!

wheels look sweet. rear spoiler aint to my liking though. is it a proper WRC replica spoiler? i dont remember them being that drastic?

I cant answer if its a rep or not but i do know that it's a MK6 on a mk5 bootlid so it does look a little funny imo :grinning:

Other than that its a nice wee car, came a long way from the 1st pics you posted up at the start of the year of the car down the side of someones house!

is there no front grill? shouldnt have sprayed the lower spoiler :confounded:

Yeah there is a grill there mate although i think the previous owner had it butchered to fit the standard bumper. Have a new grill painted and all just have to pick it up.
What lower spiler are you on about? the splitter at the bottom of the front bumper

I dunno, i like the wheels and i've seen the car in the flesh (think i passed u in the cossie down the motorway one sunday night) but i can't warm to it, the mix and match bumpers just don't do the car any favours, maybe full on WRC kit would do it or maybe i'm gettin old and prefer oem styling!

had a lot of work Not mention the first person in ireland to own a EXILE sound system which is the best sound system i have heard (y)

Cheers for the comments both good and bad. The car is booked to go away at the end of January for a whole new look on the outside. Im sure John Peden will work wonders with it.

Get the cosworth front bumper, whatever rear bumper u have on, rear spoiler etc off and it would look loads better... looks a bit wack imo.

Not sure on the Hydros yet. depends where he can fit it all due to me having no boot space. We have talked about putting the rams on the inside of the roof but all depends really.

Will have to see my plans of what i want to do are changing daily. My current idea is to turbo the car and change the front and rear bumpers and go for a WRC look with a front mounted intercooler to set it all off.
