Haha ya can never be too low in Ireland
Did few bits last month I bought another red phase 1 for bumpers and bits and got a full 2.5" exhaust with 2" tip welded up for a bit of grunt!
got two new indicators aswell and threw in the lights from the red one as they were genuine and in focus

This thing looks freaking awesome. Only thing I'm not keen on is the spoiler... May look better all yellow, although I've never been a fan of that style. Think the black roof would work well with a later standard spoiler instead. Will keep an eye on this

colour, big yes, everything else, big NO.
I really don't get the obsession with making the cars undriveable, especially in a country that seems to have a reputation for bloody rough roads

Looks well lad, yellow roof, proper 3 leg spoiler and cyclones and that'd be class looking, bouts in the country you at..?
Also whats wrong with metro plates, far better looking that the dopey big letters standard plates are.?

Something that has annoyed me for a long time, and so many times almost convinced me to buy a sundance 106 GTI!
