Nice work Ian. Bet those Tom's skirts would have been fine, had they not been taken out of the mould early.
Can't beat a fresh pair 'o sills on a MK2.

Sadly not even then. Would have had to cut rear vent part of and extended up a inch or so.
Hey anybody wants then and wants to play cover postage and yours lol.

I'd say no on the abflug splitter man, they are massive and look really odd without the rest of the kit, in fact, the whole abflug kit looks weird without the arches
Also, it's not that nice a splitter, there's loads of options that are nicer, I only fitted it as I wanted the complete kit!!
Car's coming along nicely though!!!

Ha ha I quite like the splitter the only part I don't like is it stirring high up on sides of bumper looking halfords stuck on.
May have a toms rear bumper and abflug front splitter for sale soon then. Choices choices.

Re: rebuild rev3 swap after 5 year search to buy my old car back J615
woah!
rarely see a toms wing with rev1/2 lights, looks beasty!
i would defo paint the side strips and the center panel to bring it to a more modern look.
it really transforms the early cars.
