accident smash and he bought it back from the insurance company before it was written off?

only car i'd consider "Mk6-ing" would be the R32, and then only if i had the money to turbocharge it as well. but then i'd probably ask myself why i didn't buy a Porsche for the same money (and no doubt andrewparker would be asking me why i didn't buy the M135i  :P)

The only thing I'm thinking is that I like the MK6 in Estoril Blue!

 :stupid:

And after all of that work and money , why on earth would you not get some LED rear lights?

So do the Mk6 rear lights go on if you change the tailgate? C pillars are the same?

Probably been smashed and was offered a Mk6 cheap, or found one being broken.

only the roof is the same i believe. the rear wings have to be cut out and new ones welded in

plus i recall reading somewhere that Mk6 door cards don't fit on Mk5 doors, so i assume the reverse is true and he had to change bits of the interior as well

Jeez. So its been a lot of work. He'll have had to weld on the Mk6 rear 1/4s as well.

The only thing I like is the colour. It will definitely be an accident damaged car.

Good on him, from the photos it looks like he's done a good job on it.
I think it looks good  :smiley:

Agree with others, the car is as bent as Dale Winton!

And what gets me is there is no mention of the murky past this car has clearly had!
