spindat45 0 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Looking good mate. i'd lose the rear mud guards but I'm guessing they're more a practical mod as opposed to a cosmetic one on the roads in Cornwall . Any more plans for it? How long have you had it and what have you done so far? It looks like its been lowered and sitting at a perfect height.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites

Moochalargo 0 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 WOW there she is!!!!! N766TJT That was my old mans VR6 and my reasoning for buying mine!! He sold it to poole audi about 4 or 5 years ago when he got his S3. He added the grill, lights and the crud catchers. He was also the man who added the induction kit, he was the man to drop it by 60mm if i rememver correctly. It used to run on 17" OZ polaris and had a polished ali eibach strutt brace up front, they were removed by my good self the day b4 it went and are now sitting well on my birds GTI.He purchased it in 2000 ish froma guy who i think had her from new. he was an accountant and lived in sandbanks area!i think dad had the seats modded a bit by scott lloyd who added more foam to the backs of the front seats as they were not as comfortable as the ones in his mk2 gti! any more help or history i can give just ask!Its really good to see her again and brings back some good memories! Glad to see it looks really clean still as it used to be all the time my dad had her. Link to post Share on other sites

Roan 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Without wanting to piss on your fire, your paint looks properly dull (or could be the camera I suppose). Is there any protection on the paint? Link to post Share on other sites
