Re: my mk3 as it looks now
i agree with jay, like the vr6 splitter, could do with lowering now though, close them arches a bit

all dents will be removed soon aswell.

Re: my mk3 as it looks now
mixed views from me
are you going for a full on rs replica ?
if so , i would go the whole hog and get the following to finish the look:
square amber side repeaters
ambers on front
standard rear lights for defonate
Green bumper inserts to match side ones
on the other note its unique to see a rs rep in that colour.

Re: my mk3 as it looks now
Yeah
I wouldn't know where to fit? Looks like you found a spot. Where did that big 12v block go? Where did you put it?

Re: my mk3 as it looks now
it took me a while to fit just trying to squeeze it all in, i made a bracket up for the trumpets and screwed the bracket to the battery tray,
you can just see the compressor in that photo screwed the battery tray on another bracket i made, its between the battery and the slam panel.
well worth the trouble though, i took it to a battlesbridge show and the general lee was there so i gave it a burst when it went past and the owner burst out laughing lol

Re: my mk3 as it looks now
I used to have the dixie horns in mine up until a few months back. Then I installed them into my mate's Suzuki Alto. More of a laugh when people realise what it is
Car looks awesome. I'd do:
Amber indicators and side repeaters
green bumper strips
Very nice otherwise
