Car looks great, the only thing (for me) would be to change the headlamps to a nice clear colour, and the indicators underneath!

Other than that spot on! :D

Thankyou! I love how yellow lights look, dont know why... It´s also a way of fixing something i didnt like about the MK2, wich is the huge difference in colours between the lights them selfs and the indicators. This way they kind of mix. The lights you mention as indicators are spot lights, wich i tinted to mach the headlights. But thanks for the feedback. I will be fitting an LSD diff and a sports brake kit in the near future.

Again, thanks for the comment!

Oh and about the lights, i would definitly get them clear again if i could also get the front side indicators clear, like in the MK1 models. But i dont know how... :?

I'm a big fan! Especially like the white walls, surprisingly for me as I usually think they look awful on 'modern' cars! Not so keen on the yellow lights, but the rest of it is a spot on smooth retro ride. Awesome seafront cruising machine :mrgreen:

Are they actual white wall tyres or the discs that go on when fitting the tyre that can be vulcanised to the tyre? If they were stick ons I'd've trimmed a bit off them..
Too much white for me, pin stripe would be better IMO but its got a real individual look thats defo one of a kind! Cracking car!

They are discs that go on when fitting the tyre and get stuck between the tyre and the wheel. I also thought of getting them trimmed but they would never be round agaiin... :lol:

But they are looking very good to my eyes, i didnt get tired of them yet. When i do, i will probably get white lettering tyres.

Thanks for the comment!!

Fantastic! The white walls look great. The colour is amazing too. I wouldn't be mad on the yellow lights but it's still the nicest MK2 I'v seen!
