Gutted to be having to make this again was epic typing it all before and finding all my old pics so here we go again!
bought the car in feb 2006 looked something like this...
1st purchase for the car was a spoiler and some sp arches
Which i painted in my garage didnt turn out too badly!
Then got hold of some wheels of a mate just didnt look right not being lowered!
Changed wheels again got some 106 raptors in black
Shortly after bought some springs and shocks and fitted them
So the car was looking like this which i was happy with
Then some vortex(180) alloys came up at a bargain price so snapped them up
After a clean
Then purchased a peco backbox
Then when it was looking its best also showing my showcage
Then in january 2009 i bought a gti engine off brian(brian) and graham(fool_throttle) to do a conversion on my car
Started taking the old engine out
Preparing to put new one in
shortwhile later engine was in
Then swapped/part exchanged wheels with wagsy for some nimrods
which then got swapped for some cyclones
Which i sold and bought some siroccos from wagsy again
That are also sold now! and have some 15" gti alloys bought from (irish al)
Few other bits done along the line.
then last week won these on ebay and picked them up in glasgow so on the look out for the rear
So thats how the car stands at the minute, conversion still aint complete due to losing my job/moving to england for a few months then back up here last novermber when i started working again so all thats left to do is the wiring loom then it'll be back on the road.

Looks nice, think it looked better with the sirocco's tbh, was the conversion an easy job or not?

Wheel w**re
Looks good mate, and it's come a long way! Those 106 GTI wheels were mental, would have been good if you could have dropped the front down more!
