Wow. First pic is my favourite. Did you Joey-mod those headlights or are they after-market?

What awesome Mk3 Jetta parts can you get me from SA?

P.s. I think you've sold me on 16"s instead of 17"s.

Thanks.

Lights are DIY joey-modded.
No real great parts in SA for mk3's, mostly cheap ricey crap.

Wheels specs are 16x7.5J ET38 and 16x9J ET20.

Some pics of the wheels when they came back from a refurb (Had the lips high polished)



Then had the centre painted red (But did not like it)



So then had them painted black 2 weeks later lol

TOUGH!! Love what you've done. Mk4 Recaros are just so perfect for the Mk3.

Is it a CLX ???

loving this!!!
with the seats, did you modify the seat to suit, or modify the rails to suit the seat?

Well it was once upon a time

loving this!!!

A mk4 bracket is fitted for the front mounting point of the seats and then the rail wheels on the seats are grinded down to fit into the stock mk3 floor rails.

No real modification to the seats needed at all.

Had the same mk4 recaros in my polo classic aswell, truly the best seats out there, well except for mk5/6 .:R line seats.

Heres some from when it was featured in one of our local magazines a few years ago.







And some other random shots







Sadly it was sold a while ago to a mate but atleast he is looking after it.

The jetta is making 240whp at the moment. New turbo is on the cards and engine rebuild.

Thanks bud,
Was planning on going but had to fix a boost leak so skipped it.
There were some awesome dubs there.

sweet looking Polo! ABF conversion? Would have gone alright! 240hp is a pretty healthy number mate, keep us posted on the rebuild

Yeah was a 1.6 stock and then did ABF conversion with headwork, cams and race branch. Went well for such a heavy car with the sound install and all the sound deadening.

Thanx bud, will update as i go along, will post pics shortly of my caddy that i sold for the Jetta.

Met up with a friend over the weekend and he took some shots of the jetta....Enjoy.
