Love this! Great project!

 

The white wing mirrors are the only part which aren't to my taste really! (I wouldn't listen to me, it's not my car!)

 

Enjoy it.

Well its been a good few days on the vrs, my back is killing me but the doctor told me to keep it moving so I did 🙌🏻😂

Finished stripping out the rear to a level I'm happy with, removed the center trim to make room for my seat, 're wired my gauges as I originally wired them to the CD player loom, removed the turbo timer as it was **** lol, got my cuz to "help" me compleat fitting my seat (He done 90% of it tbf, I've a bad back as pre mentioned🙈😂), fitted a questionable gear knob that I will be replacing soon, removed my bace face door speakers aswell, sadly didn't get round to giving it a well needed Hoover so excuse the carpet🙈😂

Will be swapping out the l&k surround for a black one or possibly the std vrs one and making a panel to fill in the CD player hole, mounting my battery cut off switch there aswell as a 12v usb charger number, no ice in the track car for me, insted I'm getting a Bluetooth speaker for the tunes and hands free 😜😏😂

Harness still to install but keeping the seatbelt for the non track driving,  just need to sort out eyelets or make a harness bar 🤔

Also still need a second seat, might get another bucket seat as I've still got another s3 bace or just pick up a cloth oem bucket seat from a mk4 golf 🤔
