Hello

Came across lets just say not the sharpest tool in the box the other day when one of my mates offered me a swap for my Mk3 Golf Gti for this 325 cab which he had in a part ex, fair enough needs some work doing to the cab e.g re-spray and few little cosmetic things but lets be honest 2.0 golf/e30 cab??? so heres some pics, i have put the Borbets on as the ones on there (think AC schnitzers) were balder than a porn stars chuff, but they will be on he for sale very soon, also changed rear lights to all red ones as ones on there were just black couldnt see through them and re-sprayed full grill, lots more work to follow. let me know what you think...

I'd say you bagged yourself a bargain there mate. Lovely colour.

Are those rear lights MOT-able with red indicators?

It looks like the tech2 kit has been smoothed and flush by filler/fibreglass..clever idea but the e30 needs lines to show off it shape.....very different :cool: , better pictures/sunlight would help...

Dave, what a great swap mate! Nice one.

Jin, the door pods have all been filled. It's certainly different. A great color though....oh and the ///M grille badge is on the wrong side. :wink:

Like Dave said.....he got it off a spooner so happy days. Once the tints are off, the car will look fantastic.

Nice find fella.

couldnt tell you but have orange bulbs in so do flash amber.

yeh its all been smoothed in.

as to the "m" badge does it actually deserve as only a 2.5 and not an M3 not sure on the laws if doesnt deserve it wil be removed right away lol
