Very nice!

2 questions....

1. Do you xenons still work with the new lights?
2. What wheels are they? BBS replica's? They look slightly different from the standard ones (nicer!

cheers

had to do a bit of a DIY job to get the xenons to fit but nothing to serious.
yeah the wheels are replica's they have a bigger off set than standard ones, so they stick out more. got them free from the vw garage so happy with them. better than the tsw the car came with.

That looks great !

Love the lights, certainly something different.

The lower offset on the wheels make such a difference too, I am assuming they are still 15's? any more info on the make/model/size/offset etc?

Can I ask what suspension you are using, it's a very nice ride height.

not sure of the make of wheels got them from the vw garage. they told me the are from italy. if that helps. they are 15's.
suspension is fk high sport coilovers.

Nice pics there mate, very original changing the lights

How come you got the wheels free?

forbezGti · Post by **forbezGti** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 8:01 pm

got the wheels free due to the one i got with the car
were sticking way out past the body work and this
cause stone chips on the body work, so went back
and complained like hell. got new wheels with toyo
proxys. not bad.!!

yeah no rear seats due to a part time gardening job!

Sweet looking car you got there, iam in two mind wether to get the black badges now

Lights look awesome

. How did you alter them & what new lights did you fit

What have you done to get the power increase

forbezGti · Post by **forbezGti** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 9:29 pm

for the lights you have to cut the backs out because
the xenon bulb is larger than standard one.

all i have done to the engine is an air filter , with the
cone positioned behind the left fog light. (lots of cold air)
and a full system exhaust with cat and middle section out.
so its 2 inch pipe work from down pipe to the back box.

Its truely amazing what difference a decent stance makes isnt it. Looks f*****g mint.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread

, but would spacers give the same kind of stance with the stand wheels

Because it really improves the look of the car
