CORRECT!!!!! it is!

its really stunning, had to bring it back from oxford. to rotherham that is.
this is my first VW. not bad hey!

it has the works on this car. Climatronic, Leather, widened arches, wheels and other stuff. its off ebay so there maybe some stuff i'm unaware of. only done 90k.

has fair share of problems, at mo, the arches are cracked coz its too low, rear bumper has had a knock, crack the paint n stuff and needs a new crank case breather filter thingy.

HOLY sh*t mate thats gourgeous i want it well low buddy

i thought i recognised it. been looking at it a while . Sweet motor your not far from me either. im in scarborough

its a bit of a distance but its doable.

lol aye certainly doable

Having sorted the scrubbing issue out now the car looks like this.

p.s. not sure if you can spot it but the rear end is higher.

i've installed HID kit (posted some where else) and a carbon filter from malaysia at only £15.

Bet that sounds amazing!

Car is lookin sweet mate lovin it

well nice think i might get rid of the jetta for a vento now

MMMMM

Love the stance with them arches! Wish mine were like that!

Nearly bought a VR one and then would have had two Vento's but gave into the Corrado (16v). But some day I'll def do the VR boot!!

Not low enough... SLAM HER TO THE GROUND!!

Just joking... looking good. Although, I would drop her a lil bit more. But that's just me.

Just polish those Borbets

i would lower it more but then i'd have to put the "No fat chicks" sticker up.

I had a saxo in 2001 lowerd it on 16s felt a bit like this i think it was only 40 mm but i physicly could not have any rear passengers god it was pointless looked god at the time though

i don't mind lowering it a bit coz my civic looked ok lowered on 30mm springs.

no kit. its all standard other than grill.

winter wheels are on and the feckin OE jack is useless. dropped on me doin last wheel. good job i have wheel on. only damage was on plastic skirt (just a scratch). the jack is now broken tho, the bar with the thread has been bench about 40 degrees.

couldn't get the trolley jack under front jacking point, thats why i had to use crap one. in need of a new and safe one as a spare now.
