[ginge191]

wheels are not euro spec tho..... there rallying wheels, just happen to look like a eurofag wheel

edited my post for accuracy...

[sam]

Its only a half cage not a full one ive been looking for one for ages and its only going to be for show, I like the stance/slammed/feltspec look but putting my own twist on it just want to be different, fed up of near ebough every gti6 been stripped out caged and track spec so doing the opposite hence why im keeping the rear bench in with the cage

[sam]

Few pictures of how she stands today:

very nice mate! I love the look with roof bars! This is what im aiming for with my new 3dr but with different wheel ofcourse

[sam]

cheers dude, always liked the look of roof bars something different I guess I still need to fit the half cage in

[rd070707]

any other plans for the exterior? yeah roof bars add a nice touch

[sam]

smoothing the bonnet, grill, front bumper but keeping the bump strip, smoothing the boot and hopefluuy getting the plate recces on the rear shortened for a jdm/us plate, painting the comps baby blue along with the cage

[rd070707]

that does sound like a nice combo mate, baby blue against astor! look forward to seeing it

[sam]

Hopefully itll look good I want it ready for fcs 2014

I'm slightly confused with this car; GTI spec, roll cage yet euro spec wheels/image
Love the look of it, but IMO chucking money at shinies (wheels and cages) doesn't improve this car.
Again, IMO

The euro lot have been fitting show cages for years mate. Show cage isn't far off the price of real cage so TBH you might as well be safe. I love this car, reminds me of Peas GTi6 from a few years ago.

Makes me want 40 profiles on my wheels

[sam]

Nice one dude I love peas gti shame he got rid of it

[thethorne]

This is porn sam but .......................... theres always a but........ you need to a way to move the rear roof rack back another 6inches! then gloss black them
