My CL "The Hulk" Build

[Golf-Sam]

I got my 97 CL last June .. this is what it looked like ..









pretty much all stock stuff ..

after some HotTuning coilovers from Slammeddistribution , Altezza taillights , smoked fogs/Indicators , Black Grill Embem , VR6 Lip , MKIV Gear knob and Cup holder thanks for the awesome DIYs BTW ..













next thing is to wire up my new fogs .. still waiting for a response from eurowires about the kit .. already installed the euro switch .. will look for nice wheels as soon as my tires start to wear off .. maybe 16" ..

The coilovers were so rough when i first installed them .. i was a bit worried .. but they are starting to smooth out ! Thumbs up !!

looking good Sam, not sure bout the mud flaps though... what type of rims did you have in mind dude ?

[Golf-Sam]

Mud flaps will come off .. when i get the chance to take em off.. not sure about the rims .. this is my first car so im new to the scene .. I'd like something that has a European look .. BBS may be ?? what do you think ??

[vvv]

good progress! keep it up

[GoLfMan]

good direction so far.... except for the tail lights. Sorry dude but they are horrid!

Check out the mk3 appreciation thread. SO many MINT mk3's there with countless wheel choices

Take it slow dude, get a feel for the scene and the styles. Dont just rush in to modding and end up with fast n the furious. Good start, but not feelin the tail lights, they are just to busy imo.

lol i thought some ppl wouldnt feel my taillights .. i like em though .. something different .. I've been looking at the appreciation thread .. i think i got a hard on ..

That is the bottom line dude, so long as you like them... then roll with it .

yea the tails are not my style either, but its your car so do what you want and I'll respect that

As far as whacking some bbs on, as long as theyre the right size and offset you cant go wrong. But there are a lot of other options out there, I'd get familiar with the "scene" (but then again really, you don't have to follow what everyone else is doing, **** em, do your own thing if you want) and keep an eye out in the classifieds here and ebay and stuff and see if you can score a nice deal on something awesome.

I Dig my tails just wired up my fogs today .. i couldnt get a wiring kit .. so i made my own ..
and yeah .. the wheel offset is a bit confusing .. i checked out the calculator ..
My rear tiers are bob jane all rounders .. and i really really dont recommend .. I got em to support the local industry . . but i've been drifting off the road so many times doing like 40 Km/h .. it's scary . .
