Bags and not RS'.... MKV content

Love it, it's refreshing to see something different. Makes me want to finish up my Etoiles...

Wheels look awesome, but tranny stance is what I dislike most about the mkv scene and this is one of the worst offenders I've seen. It takes a lot of work, but this car would be on another level with spacers and camber up front and pulled fenders to tuck in rear.

Know exactly what you mean. There's just not a lot of progression in the VAG world, especially with mk5-6. It's the reason I hardly ever go on vortex and sold my mk2 for an e36. Studying other platforms has motivated me to progress the wife's mkv, too. After working on my e36, we had to have camber at all four corners, pulled fenders all around and way less rake on the mkv. Your mkv could be awesome if you went the same route, IMO.

I agree 100%... That about the only thing that bugs me with my car... I want/need to space out the fronts.. Its just a matter of either spacing or sourcing bigger lips (2"+). Tunershop can help but they are about the only option I have found for 30 bolt hole lips.

The pics are pretty bad in terms of the fronts and now the car is sitting a little better (had some 8mm spacers at home I threw on). I got pulled aside at a show in Louisville... wasnt't expecting anyone to want to shoot my car

I'm kinda mixed on pulling the rears... once you pull you almost have to always run aggressive wheels going forward. I'll prob do so anyway so its only a matter of time.

There is just something about old school Merc's, BMW's, and even Jaguars... I would love to take an early 90's Jag and slam it... just not something you see every day.

Oh, and your tails bug me. But I still love this car.

Suggestions? I had Euro .:R tails but the inner housing literally just fell out (no impact or anything) so I used some night shades and darkened the stockies a bit... The matte look matched the DPE's (also a matte finish) but now it doesn't really flow right.

To thin coats, then one heavy coat of Krylon rattle can clear, wetsand, then buff to shine. Always gets awesome results for me

Exactly what I did... just never wetsanded.

It makes a big difference haha.

Just 2000 grit and plenty of wax with a buffer will get it glossier than stock.
