The Official MkIII Appreciation Thread

[rayray086]

i'm pretty sure i prefer US mk 3's to euro mk 3's. some of those just look wikid, others, just don't.

cause i prefer more standard body work i guess. just imo

A lot more where I got those pictures from had some pretty bad examples (IMO anyway):



















There's no denying they've got spectacular paint jobs and ****loads of effort, but the styling just doesn't work for me.

i reckon if all of those others had RS's on them, theyd be dope azz!

Perfection

HOLY CRAP!!!

How is this done, is it just the old adapters or are they reps? It looks perfect especially being in black. The colourcoded arches really set it off

I love this car. It blends my favourite part of the mk3, the character line, and the smoother front and rear sections of th mk4. Sometimes I think the mk4 could really do with some more well-defined lines like the mk3 had though. I kinda like the merc rims too, a little oem+ (from other manufacturer though)

They look like GL tails with the centre bit tinted.

They look like GL tails with the centre bit tinted.

yea i agree, except the red bits are more red as well. i reckon you could replicate the looks with a bit of T&E and some of those tint spray cans.

Hella actually made sets like that, but yeah, I think those are just standard tails with the empiregfx overlays as the indicator section looks quite heavy on the red. The Hella ones were very lightly red-tinted, very similar to Alex's all red tails.
