It's looking good. Looks like the photoshops were helpful :) Those wheels will definatley look good against the colour of the car. What have you planned for it then?

If your going to the bother of fitting a gsi dash why not just take yours out and get it sprayed black. A mate of mine just got his mk1 dash sprayed up by a bodyshop and it looks the beesknees :)
