my new mk2 and some advice needed

[sloopeh]

Hello all

Here is my super shiney almost mint new car. it is standard apart from a blue flame exhaust and an induction kit.

I am new to mk2 ownership so have some noobie questions if anyone can help?







The wheels are in need of a refurb - what does everyone think - should i refurb back to standard, get them done in black, or put different wheels on altogether?

i would like to lower it a bit - what is the best way to do this? not afraid to do the work myself and have people who can help me if needed.

it has a sony headunit in it and i would like to add a bit more bass - in the passenger rear cubby hole is the following connection. is there something nice and cheap/second hand i can plug into it?





my plans are to keep it standardish but maybe add a subtle bit of 'cool' so if anyone has any ideas let me know.

cheers

Welcome to IMOC fella

Nice motor, wheels, in my opinion look great in gunmetal grey or black but down to personal choice.

As for springs, Apex springs offer a nice drop and pretty comfortable.

Enjoy the car and IMOC, welcome aboard

Loveley looking motor mate. Looks like it has a nice shine on it. Personally id change the wheels to something nice a old school jap. Cost wise though and you want to save money a nice gun metal grey would look good.

Your not quite over to the dark side yet but im sure you will get a turbo at some stage now your MKII Converted !!

Enjoy

Looks like you've found a good one there, Good luck with it.

I would personally go for a separate sub and amp to add a little extra bass. If the stereo has been changed to a Sony then I suspect that cable you've taken a photo is no longer in use.
You can pick up second hand subs/amps pretty cheap now. Let me know if you need any help saucing/fitting them.

Wheels are very personal, depends if you want it to look subtle or not.
