Don't see very many of those.  |
There's a car in the pic? All I see in a park bench. J/K 
Very nice looking. I really like the color. Do you have the E-Code headlights? Yours look really clean. My gf has the plastic ones and they have gotten frosted/fogged. I have tried doing a light sanding and using plastic wax but it only works a little. Anyone have any other ideas?

Meguires has a kit just for that. If you go the sanding route, put a plastics clear coat on it to keep it from frosting again... but it iwll eventually turn yellowish.

I got their plastix wax. Works pretty well. I will have to try and find that kit.

It might be a different brand, but it was one of the major ones... they can only do so much. If you had a MKIV, Mark has some spares. (you'll hear that a lot)

Maybe if you just narrow it a good bit, take some off both sides?

Yeah, whatcha lookin for? I probably have it... and Rez! you really need some bigger wheels/ lowpro tires... AND A DROP! even a 1" drop will give your car a whole new look... I promise! if you can find the suspension off of an 04 or 05 GLI, that would be the money shot right there!

nice car! id look at it if i was at a stoplight.
you should go to the apr bbq to see a lot of other cars and you'll get to see some of the ideas you were thinkin about in your head.
befor driving a dub i was pushin an accord. well lets just say i had a a lot to learn.lol
but make your car "your" car while my car might not be vortex friendly. i love it everytime im walkin up to it. do what make you feel like that
