Wow. First pic is my favourite. Did you Joey-mod those headlights or are they after-market?

What awesome Mk3 Jetta parts can you get me from SA?

P.s. I think you've sold me on 16"s instead of 17"s.

Thanks.

Lights are DIY joey-modded.
No real great parts in SA for mk3's, mostly cheap ricey crap.

Wheels specs are 16x7.5J ET38 and 16x9J ET20.

Some pics of the wheels when they came back from a refurb (Had the lips high polished)

Then had the centre painted red (But did not like it)

So then had them painted black 2 weeks later lol

TOUGH!! Love what you've done. Mk4 Recaros are just so perfect for the Mk3.

with the seats, did you modify the seat to suit, or modify the rails to suit the seat?

A mk4 bracket is fitted for the front mounting point of the seats and then the rail wheels on the seats are grinded down to fit into the stock mk3 floor rails.

No real modification to the seats needed at all.

Had the same mk4 recaros in my polo classic aswell, truly the best seats out there, well except for mk5/6 .:R line seats.
