Time to share my car here, it's a Mk3 Golf GTI (16v ABF) in Black Magic

- SSR 3 piece Mesh 16" wheels (ET27 and ET17 8" all round)
- H&R Coilovers
- OEM Vento front end
- Remus back box and tips
- Eurosport strutbrace
- K&N panel filter - swiss cheese box
- German plates
- Anniversary GTI shift knob
- Midnight Express 35% tints
- Mk3.5 Steering wheel
- Alpine 9887 head unit

Very nice

Brilliant.

I like where the amps are too.

Welcome to the forums, and very nice example you have there! I'm always surprised to see so many nice aftermarket goodies on NZ Mk3s, like the Zender sideskirts and ABT front lip and Hella Dual Rounds. They fetch some decent money! Do you guys have distributors there, or just import them in from overseas?

Yea audio install is very neat and hidden if I don't say so myself. Sub moulded into the side of the boot, amps under the back seats, cables in the sills.

For the size of the country I would say there is pretty decent support for VW's. We have a couple distributors for after market VW parts, I would say they specialise more in performance parts rather then styling though

Sweet car there mate, I really can't think of anything to suggest besides to give it a vacuum and some armorall loving

!

Again, nice care you got there!

That's yummy. Have never been a fan of those headlights but it's still a good example

I actually vacuumed it the day prior to those photos

Only other thing I would really like to do to it is lower the front a tad more, but that would mean I have to buy new springs and I can't be bothered at the mo!
