I had some spare time today and decided to clean the car as it desperately needed a good clean.

I'm not happy with the outcome but here are some pics: -

Yeah, I haven't had the time to take them off and replace them with the original BBS's. The car sits in the drive for most of the week so its not that much of a problem and the weather hasn't really been that bad.

They are clear Hella lights that have been tinted red.

Looking good bro! Fuk1n hell you had some spare time...hahaha!!

The boot handle, is from the Golf Mk5, and basically kills two birds with one stone; acts as a VW badge, and also operates to open the boot via solenoid. We don't like totally smoothed bootlids!

Prabz; be different go for the Seat one...hahaha!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys.

Its the whole setup from a MK5 Golf. Had to buy a 2nd hand MK5 Golf Tailgate.

Whats with the black mirror?

I don't see it making that much of a difference.

i've always thought that too,

but was looking at my car today and noticed that it really does stick out alot on black cars, yours reminded me of it straight away too
