Clean, but too blingy. Gloss black inlet would have looked the nuts.

It's your AFM letting the picture down. Get that sorted and you're done.

Not to my taste i'm afraid but can certainly appreciate the effort put in.

I wouldn't pimp the bay anymore than that, but looks spot on if your intention is shows etc.

Of course these cars are for driving, but i love seeing mint shiny 205's at shows like this.

Sorry but I'm in the more time driving less time polishing camp.

I may be being dense but I've not heard of a Roadspeed engine, only suspension. Is that the same as a GTI 'S'?

Batter cover and washer bottle top would equal the bling up .....
My bay's blinged up , and it still gets driven in all weather and spends its life outdoors (no garage )
Clean car bud looks a top effort .....
