I'd leave the kit off, the lines of that car are really clean and uncluttered.........it looks really good as it is. Personally if the car were mine I'd leave it.
it looks mega clean with no kit mate, i take it the stripe will be going? i think its looks great as it is.
but then it is your car and it is your choice......so get thinkin....lol

I just put a kit on my stratos silver mk3 3i in the resto section. I personally think it makes the car, but each to their own, if we all liked the same it would be boring.
Putting a kit on a car which is straight and not needing a paint imo is not worth it as the car looks good as it is.
Yes it will look better with a kit.
But How much money later

Its had poor spray work done in the past, the coach lines have been used to cheat, the drivers side line was removed and this became evident.
Plus the fact theres some nice key marks on the bonnet (many thanks to my ex
), and the drivers side wing has been replaced very poorly, (they left the top of the old wing on for some queer reason), and there are other scratches etc.So its getting a full spray, and this is decision time.
Keep your opinions coming

Well, either the same, OR i think that silver the 106's come in is quite nice. Its going to be engine out and doors off so there won't be any different colours visible
i think they look lovely with just a nice set of wheels and dropped a bit, wouldnt bother with kit, just my opinion, keep the standard look, too many series 1 reps about already
