Lovely! Wish mine was as clean as that!!
I'd get a silver stripe and put it on top and bottom of grill, and round the bumper insert and bump strips.........trust me!!!
Then some nice chrome wheel embellishers on black steels...........whaddya mean sounds just like mine :lol:

and i've got polished scalas to go on there if i ever finish refurbing them...literally only got half a wheel left but seems to be taking for ever :roll:

after that maybe some chrome trim to go on the bumpers....then i reckon that's enough bling :lol:

Polished scalas will look quality on that, nice retro wheels! You gonna lower thefront end a bit?

to be honest i can't really see me being able to lower it due to costs + insurance....but i'm keeping this car for a few years and then doing a GT conversion so by that time i'll be doing stuff like lowering and engine mods. but for now it's just a couple nice touches to make it look like it hasn't been abandoned lol :wink:

my interior is pretty basic at the moment....when i do my GT conversion i'll probably do scirocco seats re-trimmed in leather, maybe custom door pods to match the re-trim as for the rest i have no idea lol...not thought that far ahead :wink:

Thanks dude
wish it still looked good, covered in tree sap and some type of white powdery crap :evil: you can't see the few little scratches i've got on my car but generally i think it stands up okay against modern cars paint once i've polished it.
