hmm id class it as OEM+ because

a) lowered to a nice amount, not decked, but enough to give a nice stance
b) simple touches (dewipered, black badges etc)

although the wheels do add a euro touch to it. imagine you took the wheels off and replaced them with bbs rx2's. (orignal polo gti ones)... it ...

fairly easy, just sand it down a bit, spray primer, sand, paint, sand, paint, sand, laquer ...

nope, the amp needs power from the battery...

even if u could, running a wire from your h/u to your boot is the same as running a wire from your battery, if not easier.

theoretically what you can do is run a sub from your h/u but realistically no-one does this as a h/u cannot produce enough power ...

bearing in mind the outer lips (bbs splits) have been changed. the wheels were 6front + 6.5back and have had 2.5" + 2" lips added so both rims are now 8.5's

i know for a fact mine were 17cm, i then had to buy adaptors from CAD so i could fit 16.5cm in. the description on cad site is wrong. they actually allow fitment of 16.5cm ...
