    I did a little reading regarding shaving side markers a while back, i think its a bit of a grey area, as a fair few cars came without them from factory, however if you have them then you cant get rid of them, or something, can't remember. Chances are if you dont throw a crazy body kit on and say its the original body work and it never came with them a police man might just take your word for it. If I were to respray my car mine would be gone Glad you got rid of the checkers on the lip, was just too busy looking i think, didnt like it

    im pretty sure its not illegal to shave side markers. mine are, and cops have never said anything when i get inspected.
    If the cops pick on me for not having side markers they need a life ! im going to do it no matter what.
    yeah man checkers were just too out there, even for me !

    IMO don't shave the handles, it doesn't work well on 4 doors (if any).
    I'd just shave the rear wiper and badge, and the side indicators if your not scared of getting pulled over for not having them...
    Got any new wheels in mind? Pulling the arches before new paint goes on might be a good plan, nothing worse than risking ruining fresh paint later down the track!

    Look forward to seeing more progress
    Colour will be a matte finish thats all im saying atm.And not black.
    Yeah I may pass on the shaved doors too many issues.
    VERY good point about the arches atm I have a set of 16inch steelies so I best be buying some tyres and making sure they fit !

    Cheers

    VDUBIN (VR6) aka Chop N Change

    Hey all..
    I thought It was time to share what Ive done To my VR6 so far...
    I have a build thread On vwgolf.net But I see theres soo many more vr6 owners here .

    First couple days of owning it stock.

    first issue was the roof lining, To this day I still havent done anything to it ! besides rip it out.Its in the too hard basket,I have a aftermarket sunroof and the original lining is ****ed.

    Then I went with this for a while.

    Now to this.At this stage, colour will prob change before they go back in.


    Went a bit nutts with checkers




    Got coils.
