Futch 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hello all,Here are some pics of my 97' Black magic Highline.The pics aren't great as it was getting dark and they where taken on my camera phone.It is fairly standard at the moment, all I have done since getting her is add pressed plates with surrounds, aero wipers, a BMC CDA and Eibach ARB's, along with a 4 wheel laser geo check (This made a massive difference to the handling.)I'm torn between modding her, or leaving her original. The tempation to mod is getting too much though! May start with some new Hella all red rear lamps.Thanks for looking! Link to post Share on other sites

Futch 0 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Nice mate welcome to the five door crew. MOD IT the bug will get you in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Riiki yours look very nice mate!How do 17's affect the acceleration/handling on the VR??I've just ordered some Hella all red rear clusters from the states.If the bug bites hard then I quite fancy some Aniiversary smoked front fogs/indicators, some Hella celis and some Image splits, or maybe some TT comps. And if cash allows I'd like a Schrik and re-map.I think the previous owner ditched the wood, unless it was a factory option to delete the wood? Link to post Share on other sites
Futch 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Evening all!I have done a couple more little bits to the car in the last week or so, so here are some updated pics.Pukka Hella red rear lamps:Engine bay with BMC CDA:I also took all the wheels off and cleaned them up:I have added some bits to the interior too, with chrome heater knobs, VW alloy door triggers and some Trimspoprt door pins.More pics when I get her lowered.
