Looks a nice base. I used to have a Dragon Green VR6...
And a 8v GTi as a daily. Not at the same time tho...

Should be 5 stud.
Looks good twitch. The skirts are a common problem on them all.
Keep your eye out on vr6's being broken for the front splitter although if you beat me to one i will be pissed!

Looks a good base to start from anyway.Always loved Dragon Green Mk3's.
Actually looking at Mk3's makes me want another 1.Would have to be a VR6 though.The 16v Anni i had was pretty slow for a car with 150bhp.

Yeh im raising the front up a bit more i've already raised it loads. it used to be so low that the tyre didnt show at the top of the arch ^_^. and FYI the 16v on had 125 bhp thats probably why it didnt feel like 150 lol

I've heard the JOM ones are one of the better replicas but the fit can be bad and some still shatter.
If you cant get an OEM one (which should take an absolute pounding) then get one from eurowagens as i have heard they are better and more flexible than some of the others. I placed an order with them the other week but they were out of stock.
