Option 2 with black handles.

[Golf Houso]

Definitely the second option!!!

[Lorenz]

All strips, lips, skirts, handles and grill black. Helps to break it all up a bit and suits the era of the car more

agreed
If you want it to look like a mk4 then buy a mk4!

The Forge Motorsport silicone hose kit is 90% installed (cbf'd with the last two, I was already drenched) - and Steve, it fits up with no problems. There's one tiny coolant hose I've got to find on the car to replace with a silicone one, but all the big important ones are fine




IMO the all white looks a bit body-kit-ish..I've steered well clear of that ever since first getting the car for a good reason...lol

That is exactly what I wanted to hear, Cheers order placed lol!
In saying that I would have to say the same that the second option is what I would go for/ am going for... In saying that you can have my crystal clear turns if you want. The third option looks puss and looks like a bodykit, I don't think no one has ever really pulled that look off to be honest.

your car will look almost same as mine i have done door handles front rear and molds hah handles look so much better in white happy i done mine

Make that 3 ****in hell!

Doesn't that just mean we have good taste? lol

You don't wanna swap indicators right? Mine aren't great..

I had a look at the grille blacked out but it looks WAAAYYYYYY too GL spec for me. No go. I want the door handles blended so they'll be white, and I'm going to do the front and rear bumper tops. I think I'll paint my own VR6 side strips, and leave Steve's GL spec ones black for now, and see what the white ones look like in comparison to black.

[VW VR6]

All 3 look nice for me...

[Mrk_Mickey]

Bump...

Unfortunately no updates for this week (except that I installed the rest of my coolant system replacements) as my mate lost his garage priviledges through the weekdays and I haven't seen him this weekend.

I have decided that all top textured strips and door handles will be colourcoded. So that means side strips, top front bumper, top rear bumper. Option 2!

[Mk3 AAA]

I reckon it will look even better than that photochop (no disrespect to the artist there), but polished to buggery (it's what you do) and some shiney black tyres and lower skirting, and that's going to look mint. Don't see many colourcoded white VR6s around. Get your big-people licence and consider losing the number plate protector for the sake of flushness.

Keep us posted how the smoothening goes, as I'd consider it on my spare bumpers.

Looks good mate, keep at it!

[DUB 12V]

with door molds the later model are thinneer and dont overhang as much like the 95 and below i was looking at just painting mine like you are but after taking off the archers it didnt really work

What exactly are you talking about lol? I'm going to be getting later model moulds and painting them!

Thanks bro, I'm thinking the same (after all, the photoshop is still only the dull white my car currently is..) . When you say lower skirting do you mean an aftermarket sideskirt? Not sure I could hack that lol

Get my big people licence and lose the protector.....interesting....can't I take it off beforehand? I want new plates anyway...been considering replacing mine in the new style of euros, but then again i may as well make a combination of my own...

[Mk3 AAA]

Nah I just meant the stock VR lower skirting,

I'd just go for the most flush white number plate you can, for that mega clean look, a mates mum has one of those flexi plates in gloss black on a black BMW....looks awesome, you can only see the silver numers (there's only 4 numbers, no letters) from a distance as there's no boarder on the plate... best personalized plate I've seen.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Yeah those plates are awesome...but I've only ever seen them on expensive cars so I always assumed they were exclusive/expensive as all hell haha.

I think new white euros for me will be nice...

[Mrk_Mickey]

I think new white euros for me will be nice...

I got bored.... white southern cross euro's are ordered from the RTA

Got my camber kit on as well as the front swaybar this week....wow, I never knew swaybars were so difficult to install. My arms HATE me.

EDIT: rear swaybar installed now too. What a difference, absolutely awesome. No roll or twisting around corners whatsoever, much more eager to turn and hold it's bite

Unfortunately no new progress on bodywork yet...stay tuned...

[Mrk_Mickey]

Camber retardedness
