hi here is my car. This is from the start its got Bilstein sport shocks with wietec 60mm drop springs fully poly bushed a bloody loud exhaust it has an lsd fitted. ice mod's like tv screens alpine type r 15" sub audiobahn 6x9's and touchscreen headunit



that is when it was lower and i dont have the 18" chrome's on it anymore got some 100 spoke wire rims to go on once the arches are flared
I then put on some 15" old tsw rims off my old mk2 golf.

Here it is after a good clean on the tsw evo-r's






Here is the leather i put in to replace the houndstooth




I then refurbed the tsw wheels to a graphite grey with satin black locking nut.



ok 17" winter wheels


possiblly a better angle

Then to work on general stuff switching good parts form the convertable on to mine.
