Hello fellas. Been a while since I posted last. Just recently got my lil' baby back from the bodyshop. Had a real unpleasant accident which fuxed up my rear wide arch which I had to see to.

Of course not all of you will approve of the kit on the car, but I guess it's every man to his own these days.


Because last time It was painted, the bodyshop mixed up a unique blue for me, they have practically ran out now so I will require a whole new spray job next time.

Next stage for me:

1: New carpet and underlay for interior.
2: Basic audio system.
3: Some form of bucket seats [budget-orientated]
4: back seats re-trimmed to match.
5: Slamming required, not thought about by how much yet.
6: 4-stud conversion, I can probs ride on 16's considering the arch work.
7: New rims.
7: Simple spoiler
8: If can't find angel eyes - Custom angel eye + projector conversion.
9: Smoothed tailgate
10: relocation of exhaust and centre numberplate in existing place.
11: Whole new paint job
12: + more.
13: somewhere in the middle GTI conversion.

It seems lowing her will be my next step. Just need to save some cash for a decent set of lowering springs + dampers.

I'm hoping I can ride on 16" at least. I need to change the hubs though to 4 stud ideally. Considering the cars still a 1.0 XN, I'm hoping that the flared arch work should allow enough room for em because I'm dreading that it will rub.

I guess its time and money in the end of the day. My wallets taken quite a blow from all the body repairs.

I appreciate the comments chaps.
