double-6s 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Hi everyone. Finally i'm getting round to putting up some pics of my new(ish) rado. It was the one sold on ebay as a 'special edition highline with karman interior'!!! I know, I know. The seller didn't have much of a clue though.... Metalic black Black heated leather Air-con 100k miles All electrics working (!) K&N 57i - very noisy! Stainless exhaust - anyone know what make that is??? It looks like a miltek but not quite the same So far all I've done is: Black diamond grooved discs and greenstuff pads all round New coil pack, leads and plugs Sparco 300mm suede steering wheel Alpine CD/MP3 head unit, alpine ipod thingy and ipod, infinity reference front components and JL 6x9s in the parcel shelf Next up? Suspension and maybe wheels. Not sure though - I like a dropped C on 15s Get rid of snide number plates Please feel free to take the p*ss regarding: a) Landrover-like ride height b) 'FHM' style number plates c) Anything else you can think of I hope you all had a good christmas and enjoy the new year.

double-6s 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Bally, hi mate. thanks. yeah i'm not too sure about the rear lights either. got some standard ones too, but may just get some part smoked ones. i definately need some serious droppage though.... the steering wheel feels as good as it looks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

double-6s 0 Posted December 29, 2005 triggermyson, thanks mate. you all love my lights really ;) i think the speedlines were refurbed - still not a mark on them! i'm ashamed to admit this is the first car i've owned that i've looked after - my others have all been driven into the ground and died. but i love this one and have actually considered marrying it.

double-6s 0 Posted January 2, 2006 i've decided i'm defo going to leave my rear lights on as everybody seems to hate them. excellent! i like to be different :) might try and adapt some beatle headlights or something as well (joke). seem to be a lot of people worried their headlights look old fashioned!

fla 9 Posted January 3, 2006 TBH if you do want to improve the rear lights I'd take a VERY sharp scalpel and carefully slice off the paint from the lower part (red portion) of the lights. Then give them a good t-cut and polish and they'd look leagues better. Plus its almost free to do :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted January 3, 2006 double-6s, would look better with a silver VW badge on the front I reckon, wanna swap... ;) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
