So heres my VW Jetta/Bora. She started out with me about 4 months ago now, completely standard. 1.9TDi Highline with 84k miles on her.
Over the last few months iv dropped her on a some cheap coilovers and added some aftermarket porsche wheels, AEZ Simas X, which are staggered 18x8.5j and 18x10j. Other than she has a few small extras, smoothed bonnet/grill, fluffy dice, stickers etc 8-) And thats how she will probably stay for winter, and then in feb/march il be adding a few more bits and bobs ready for the 2012 shows and summer!
Heres a very small selection of the photos I have which show the progress so far, enjoy!

Wheels will be refurbed in the new year too, thinking of maybe doing black lips and deep blood red centers, with gold bolts. Thoughts? Im also hoping to smooth out the front numberplate recess and colour code/smooth in the rear valance.
Thanks for having a read, comments and the like are all welcome! Dan.

Absolutely love the stance, those rims are perfect, but the bra needs some lighter fluid and a match!

Thanks. Me either, there is a kit you can get to fix the problem, which moves the rear wheels back about an inch, miight invest one day although I have better things to spend on atm

FLOL. You never fail to disappoint. I assume your talking about the photos where Norwich prison is in the background? Yeah thats Norwich prison, not a coucil estate... :clap:

Thanks Liam. Haga, the bra's fineeee. I like it with and without just as much, just stuck it back on when I was bored at work the other day...
On another note, got some HDR'ish type shots earlier... 8-)

You know what I've just noticed? The ickle fog lights! My contacts have bigger lenses! Lol
Think the rims will be a really nice mod, the good thing with silver is you can use any colour in the world to make it really look different and stand out abit
