(G) few changes

Just out of interest (almost like my 'why do people tint their lights' question), why do people move their number plates? I often think it looks worse the way they mount/position them (only personal opinion).

Jon.

if the numberplate is in the tailgate, the boot will never have the "smooth" look that people find desirable.

a smooth looking car can get away with a numberplate mounted lower down, because its not as eye catching.

I think it would look much better if you bought a recess for that rear bumper, then stuck the plate in there Makes it look OEM, rather than now where it sort of looks like a after thought.

i agree. It would improve the look of the car so much more

hard work to modify to that extent, though.

my little beast goes in for MOT today it hasn't been driven for just over 1 year as ive been waiting to turn 17 ( this Wednesday ) so fingers crossed!!

Well it failed, but its a few hundered quid to repair which isnt to bad, however it worked out cheaper to replace one of the faulty shock absorbers with the ones i have with the lowering kit i got given so now the whole car has been lowered 40mm and will look smoother, should have photos up as soon as i get it back!

So here is my car pretty much finished on outside looks:

Lowered 40mm allround, re-sprayed black bk racing alloys, 4 new nankang 195/45/15 tyres.

Looks good m8, not "over the top" as some do.

that is now a really nice mk1

That is nice! Don't go spoiling it now :P

I dont have anymore plans for the outside looks for now and probably wont ever, however i was considering a letterbox vent on the bonnet as i think they look so nice, and might add to the smoothness of the look, i was also considering new mirrors as mine are broken but just sit there screwed in place, but thats minor detail.

Inside might have a seat change as they currently have 5dr seats in and dont recline, abit of a pain in a 3dr (bought it like that) and other than that just need to finish building subbox into wheel arch.

anymore thoughts people want to add?

not sure about the mirrors, other than that, looking good!
