make sure u keep this a PROPER sleeper this time, no fancy alloys and chrome rollcages!
i say roof rack, wrong coloured bonnet and one wing, steelies, hidden exhaust outlet, and kick and scratch it a few times
then just live your life patrolling round supercar/evo/scooby/skyline meets making people look like total cunts by getting whupped by a fucked old van

Keep it a real sleeper by fitting a very faded black plastic bumper, with the obligatory scuff of white paint on the corner.
Mint project though, will be mental

"WENNYS SLEEPERS...QUALITY BEDS" should be a giggle!

This sounds a nice project, standard bumper and steelies with that lump in sounds wicked.

no not as much as the mk3, only going to 350 bhp, im after some relieability out of this lol, it get the handy down parts from the mk3
the same engine with a knackerd t3 did a 12.4 at york in a saff so its pretty fit
got a t34, rs500 cooler and twin fuel pumps to go on and run more boost so should be a bit quicker
