looks like a nice project mate! just needs a little tlc!!

[Martingsi]

it will get there eventually, ive only had the car a little over a month lol

[Ernie]

it looks alot better now mate.

[Matt]

Looks spot on that.

:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Looks perfect mate, your plans seem good as well :)

Good luck with it

[Rickyb]

im loving that buddy and i love the choice of mods :thumb:

[Gibbo]

look nice mate.what interior is that ?

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

what interior is that ?

Ditto.

Just got to get black interior door handles and kick panels to finish it off.:thumb:

[stuartyj21]

nice car mate like the leather interior..

[Martingsi]

when i bought it i was told it's a GTE interior that someone had retrimed,, looks alright though, theres a couple more things that are grey still which need to go black.....
going to lose the spoiler too, its been poorly fitted and the paints cracked, might go for a mk2 spoiler but i might also go spoilerless , unsure

[Plug]

as said good plans and it looks loads better :thumb:

Gsi spoiler i thinks on a mk2

[Jowe]

looks good man... needs an XE but we have that conversation every day lol

[DW-Nova]

Looks good mate, if your going to fit a new sill you may aswell do the both of them and the back arches whilst it's all apart, how do you find it with the spax coilovers ? mine handled well with them but it was bumpy as hell, good luck anyhow, liking the orange peel wheels btw :)

yeah handles well but yes! bumpy as hell!!

ive done the sill now, welded it just below the gsi sideskirt line so i sould get away with not painting it. i will be doing both the arches in the summer and probably a respray.

K&N air filter and breather filter now on, gsi sideskirts on, front strut brace on.
pics to follow...

[DW-Nova]

cool sounds good ! those spax's are the bumpiest suspension i've felt mind ! a bit much for everyday use, where have you got yours set at ? my TRD suspension feels positivley comfy in comparison !! look forward to some piccies.
