Nice

Not keen on the front end, would look better with maybe a set of rs2k/cossie headlights? I'd get some spacers behind those focus wheels too so they fill the arch a bit better

Well,it satisfies me for now,I am not a fan of max speed,but mainly acceleration oriented After the rear disc conversion,I am thinking of doing something about the rear bench,I don't like the leather of it,but I am not sure what to do with it...Perhaps a set of better rims too,something white or anthracite,I am looking for it,haven't done my mind yet.

Well,it is a set of Hella RS2000 front quads,but they sit like...s@@t because the fixing brackets are broken so they don't space up right with the bonnet I bought it like this,and as I learned l8r the previous owner had an accident in the front.He replaced wings,front panel,but obviously not the lights,so for now since they are too expensive to replace them I keep them.They are a huge aid at night driving in the "wonderfull" curvy road of Greece!!!As for the spacers,I thought it but the rims won't stay for long,so I prefer to spend money on other sections,for eg tyres

Pretty redundant question, but did the skirts come off a mk6 gti?

I like it. The most important job (the engine) is done. Everything else is easy. When you find better wheels, which aren't so expensive, 7 1/2J R15 with 15~30ET may be.
How it goes now - 0-100km/h and top speed?
