I would suggest a U2U to Icy, as he may know some places and be able to point you in the right direction

yeah, if it had a tt engine i probably wouldnt sell it..and certainly wouldnt be as runaround
as for mods, smoked lights all round, tints, the set of audi wheels i have and induction and exhaust

if its older than 96 i think , theyre prone to rust as aint galvanised. boot and arches check for rust also under the seal in the door side sill
simple effective modes
debadged grill
mk4 style headlights
m3 style tails
rear delocked handles or mk4 polo handles if u have remote central locking
iv got some front smoked indicators+ dummies i mite sell
