I think its shite Very Happy Only joking mate - someones been a busy boy! Personally i would have left the VW badge standard and maybe left the tdi off the grille?! I think pressed plates would look good aswell, but you know how fussy i am Smile

Cars nice but personally think it would look better without the bright stuff, but it's all personal dude. Think that a big car like this should be understated, have you had it remapped yet?

Agreed, needs about a 60mm drop on those wheels.

Not too sure on the oranges bits, but will hold that till I see it properly!

If you like it now, wait till it's remapped, you'll be like Twisted Evil

Don't be put off by what people might say when doing stuff, you never know what works till you've done it. Mod for you, not the crowd. Sweet ride Cool
