Why did you remove the child anchor bar? I always thought it worked like a rear strut brace? But it does get in the way..a lot!

[DubSteve]

Yeah kind of, I like to think its work like that anyway lol

[ScienceVR6]

yeah, i used to pretend it worked as a strut brace, but after seeing its construction and mountings, i decided it got in the way too often. And it weighed like 1.5kg.

[bombsquad21]

On my 95 VR6 I have,

P.S. Bombsquad, where did you get your Angel Eyes from and do you have any pics with them installed?

Cheers
Simon

Here's a pic...they are ebay ones..even with cheap bulbs and bad allignment they are 1million times better than stock..


If u wanted you could change all the bulbs to blue visions or whatever for a different effect. I leave the parkers on 24/7...because of these headlights every, Tom, **** and Harry wants to race.

I hear ya on that! Would love to do the same thing to my ride. Great Greenies think alike

[Pullstarter]

Thanks for the pic bombsquad they look sweet!! Did you get them from ebay UK or USA?

[bombsquad21]

Ebay.com.au they are from china i think. I know they look a little ricey in that close up. But really, they add depth to the front end. Just like the 3inch lip on my rims add depth to the sides..

[Pullstarter]

Always a fan of lip Have you got the sellers email? Might have to look into it.

cheers

[bombsquad21]

Sorry dude, He was an auto electrician in Brisbane who imported a job lot of BMW and VW angle eyes..I took the last pair, for a steal!

[The_Hawk]

My VR6 doesn't have much on it as yet:

Pod filter
2" Exhaust minus the two mid mufflers plus twin tip stainless exhaust
Hella look alike headlights with 5000k bulbs
Fog lamps
Different VW wheels

Does working Heating count as a mod? (air con coming soon)

The usual basic stereo upgrades 6x9's in the parcel shelf + small amp running off a Pioneer head unit.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Ahhhhh, the mods page...
So many plans I have, so little knowledge and money..luckily the forums fix some of the knowledge part

My plans for my VR6 are as follows:

Install remote cental locking: With this comes the need for knowledge of immobilisers/alarms and the way they work...I wanna get a cool key with the button built in! Might go to VW for that...$$..
Finish system: Get another amp cause I have so many speakers in this beast!most likely buy all speakers (and maybe sub..got sub already but meh) same brand, either JBL, Alpine or any brand someone might like to suggest?
Tint windows: (yay for xmas, might have this paid for!) darkest legal of course
Re-paint black plastic on outside: Does anyone know how to do this well? I want to make it dark as possible and original as possible - also wondering if i should match my white paint and go some of it white or just all black..any opinions?
Headlight upgrade: Projectors with halo's, hopefully something like these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-98-VW-GOLF-III-HALO-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHT-BLK-94-95-96_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ021QQitemZ310008062997QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Hopefully also some HID Bulbs or a Xenon kit
Taillight upgrade: MAYBE. Smoked, if not LED and i'll smoke the housing..
Short-shifter Kit: I want a shorter shifter. I also want a nicer boot with a non-ripped up shift knob
Air filter: New Box? Pod filter?
Exhaust: Cat-back as I can't afford a whole system..I'm liking the sound of the Magnaflow 2.25" twin pipe system, cept i want them bent up at the tip like DTM style
Minor Cosmetics: Maybe get a different Grille, re-shine my badges or buy black ones, VW stickers for the window/s!

If I keep the car a while I'll definitely be getting me some sexy wheels..I like the look of the 9-spoke Audi inspired 18's, very classy.

That's about it..very detailed..but that's how I like it hehe
