How it stands exterior finished

Post

Back to the top
After a week of tittervating and polishing, I'm finally happy with the exterior of the old girl. Refurbished front and rear bumpers. Decals fitted. Only 2 badges are left to be fitted but that's a minor detail. I remade the interior door cards aswell. Got to do something with the drivers seat or maybe all of them and some insulation under that carpet. Oh yea and a clean haha then she's finished. For now at least. 











Hope you guys approve.

Cheers guys, I'm happy with it now. Took me a while to warm to the grill but I think it suits it now. As for the wheels they are 15s et25 on the fronts and et13 on the back.

I'm running 185/55/15 the rims are 7" wide. Ideally I should have gone for 175s but I wasnt sure. Still got nice fitment but with 175 I wouldnt of had to roll the arches.

Just a quick update. As I said before I was thinking about either changing the seats or getting the one repaired. Wwweeeellllll I had always loved the originals but I also really loved the ones I changed them for.



Mk3 golf ananniversary seats. They just seem to really suit it I think. What do you guys think?
