I was gonna say that he looks the image of you mate! I'd personally say no to vents as there really hard to make them look good unless there meant to be there ala Focus RS.

What supporting aesthetics you thinking? Aero catches splitters etc


Yeah, plus maybe dark details/touches if they were to be a dark colour rather than body colour...

FRS Vents; (if links work)

Got the whole travel system thing pram etc was going to get the isofix but when I'm in work he goes out with the Mrs and my mum and sister a lot in various different cars so unless we bought about 5 of them the idea of them being semi permanent and easy to fit the seat would be out the window as we would have to keep swaping the lot over lol, tbh as car seats go this ones dead easy to just seatbelt in anyway lol, oh and by not buying one I had more money to spend on myself haha

Well easy mate just chuck the car seat into the pram frame and off you go! That's why I got this car mainly for the boot space for the pram and also the fact iv always wanted one haha

Drove one of these last night, was really impressed with it, that V6 noise is impressive, Love how easy it gets to certain speeds though and without much effort!

A lad that I know through Hockey, everyone knows him as Benno, he's got a Black VXR, had some lad in our local going on about how rare his FRS is, so he told him about the Vec and he soon shut up haha

There's was an arden blue estate around here but haven't seen it for a while

Nice. Sits well, although some spacers wouldn't go amiss. The rear wheels look a little lost in those arches now it's lowered.

Also, is that a karmann ghia?

10mm should be fine I reckon. Will bring them out a bit without the worry of the tyre rubbing on the arch.

Can't wait to see what you do with the vw
