Very nice looking car now, just one thing though the chrome bumpers look a bit out of place, especially on the front view.

Hiya mate , the kit was a half xpack made for a mk2 , i fitted it to the mk3 and original mk3 bumpers wouldnt go back on due to them wrapping around the body and the body was wider after the kit wss fitted ! So i had to fit mk2 jobbies !
Think they would look better if they were black ! I just didnt want to paint them as the chrome was mint and there particulary hard to find in that condition

If it were mine I think I would be looking to stretch some mk3 bumpers, if you had to hide it you could gain an inch or so each side behind the over riders. 1/4 bumpers like a mexico might look good at the front, but not with the mk3 wrap around ends.

I really like the stance, aggressive look and attitude that car has.....the "face" where the hood slightly covers the tops of the lights from the angle you took the picture at makes it look like it has purpose and is ready to go...

That car has a more modern look now with what you have done and it surprised me just how nice it came out!....Now I see what you saw...its "potential"

Are those original tail lights?...they almost look Porsche 944 of that era....

A little chrome here and there looks good...I like it....

wonderful transformation!

They are original rear lights used on all mk3 from 78 to 87.

Blacks best colour on those, suits it well had mine changed from silver.

Takes me back to my racing days.
Dave Brodie used to race these all in black.
A less extreme version of the magnificent Zakspeed turbos, they really were awesome.
The Zakspeeds would have got onto the F1 back row in those days.
